Since we live in a place that technically allows us to be outside 365 days per year it was time to purchase an outdoor dining set. I've talked a lot about investing in pieces that you either use everyday or can't live without and then hunting retail sales for the rest. Since we are on a budget and these piece are going to be exposed to the extreme elements it was time to pack up the car for a little Easter Ikea road trip.
Of course I hit pinterest first for a little daydreaming:
And then the smell of swedish meatballs and bargains brought be back down to earth. We ended up finding and purchasing this awesome dining set for under $400. We added a bench for $75 to increase our seating but plan to use it somewhere else in the yard when we aren't entertaining.
I'm totally in love with the gray and we also scooped up a few accessories to complete the look.

Love it! Especially the gray - it's a nice change from the usual white or black. We bought a ton of those lanterns for the wedding and now have them at home and the cabin. They are great (and inexpensive).
Thanks Jenni! That's right, I knew those lanterns looked familiar :) love them!
LC - so fun reading your blog. We just bought the Ikea table and a sectional for our roof deck. Such a better price than anything else out there and still looks good! Hope you are well - would love to catch up soon!
Gray is totally in this summer! It's neutral, simple, and quite mysterious. Thanks for sharing these inspiring photos as well. :)
