(Besides the windows that I desperately want in our back family room) I've been wanting to cozy up our back porch since we moved into this house 2 years ago.We have such a great backyard and we love to sit out there in the morning and watch the fog (I guess it's fog? steam? heat?) in the park and then in the evenings watch the geese honk and fly in (a gaggle!) while the park is full of little league games and dog walkers.
BUT, our furniture sucks and is old and uncomfortable. I have no inspiration at all. I just know that I want to go and buy a bunch of expensive, comfy furniture with colorful, pretty pillows and lounge on it all day while I read People magazine and drink coke and eat cheetos. But that's not going to happen because I'm cheap, if I drink anything other than water it might be diet coke and well, the cheetos thing...that would probably happen.
We get 100% sun all day long on the back porch, so we need something that can withstand the sun, won't mildew and won't take up the whole porch. I think I'm gonna try and sell the wrought iron furniture (that I got for $200 from a thrift store 2 years ago) we have now and try and piece something together through craigslist and garage sales.
Any suggestions?

We bought that wrought iron stuff a lot longer than 2 years ago. We were on Pinegrove when we got it. Are you going to try and sell it this weekend? I bet this time of year is the bst to buy lawn furniture, I bet its all on sale.

I say craigslist it. You may get more $$
can you make cushions in the meantime for the current stuff?
yeah, i say keep your eye out every other day on craigslist for stuff. check ebay every once in a while for pictures of things.
