I wanted to share with you a super fun tool from Canadian Tire www.canadiantire.com you can build a new backyard design , what fun , and so easy , nothing like autocad , give it a try.

This is the umbrella I settled on not white but a soft sage color, it is 10 feet wide and has very thick fabric for a fair price, Ikea didn't have a big enough umbrella for my wants and this was local at JYSK , slight problem is that pole is so thick it won't fit into the stand I have or for that fact any other stands, so I am in need of constructing a vice for my umbrella, I would have loved to get right to that , but despite the 4 day long weekend and the fact that I should be enjoying getting loads finished it is raining and raining and cold, but I did assemble the rocking chair which was an awful experience, the holes were to small and I needed to ask my husband to help out as my arm was swelling and becoming useless, the table will wait until tomorrow , but an umbrella find and the chair assembled as well as the grass cut before the rain it isn't a complete wash , and as well I have one more day off , why do these days go by so fast.

The scheme changes a bit , white wicker dining chairs , I found the fourth at JYSK and it was white already so I have a kick start there, the table will be white or maybe stained wood ???

the other tables white , and black accents , blue and green fabric , oh who knows maybe it will turn out more eclectic and less perfect we will see.

It is not complete but certainly usable , loads of seating , we have quite a few decor items thanks to my mom she got me the wire plant basket and another I have not yet installed , I moved the stars above the door , and found this most beautiful lantern , it is steel and gorgeous , these wicker chairs we have had for almost the whole time we have been together , 17 years very soon, they were dining chairs at one house, then wrap around outdoor porch chairs , then kitchen table chairs, they have been in our basement storage since I built the island 3 years , and now they will be outdoor dining chairs , we just need one more. I need to build a dining table and get an umbrella as I decided against an existing gazebo shelter thingy the size was too big and it was off center and that would drive me crazy as well the colour is taupe and that isn't right either .
I think I will try to find a white umbrella, and paint the table white as well, and the small side tables I will paint black. So that will make it black and white with blue accents.
