I want to get a bistro set for our front courtyard and I don't know which material to pick. I heard cast aluminum is rust resistant and lasts longer. However, I live in a very windy area, and I am afraid it won't be heavy enough. There's too much concrete going on in that area, so I don't want concrete furniture, either. Any opinions or suggestions?

Aluminium is much lighter than cast iron, but you would still need hurricane force winds to shift it. As long as the base of the table is as wide as the top, you shouldn't have any problem with the wind tipping it over. The aluminum is also much easier to move around for rearranging.

I have a plain concrete patio. My house is red/brown brick with slightly off-white/taupe painted addition (next to patio) and trim. I have a black wrought iron table and chairs, a blk wrought iron glider, and 2 black rocking chairs and table. What color should I go with for throw pillows/cushions/outdoor rug. I love cozy cottage style. Any help would be appreciated to help me mak this outoor space relaxing and cozy. Thanks...I

A cozy cottage style is best achieved using a flowered patterned fabric for the cushions with a clearly understood flower and leaf design, roses or lillies or ivy.

If the furniture is out sized you can choose a large pattern. Otherwise choose a medium size pattern and repeat.

If the fabric background colour is a light green, with roses of yellow, pink or red, leaves in shades of green, you need to pick out the yellow, red or pink or green for the toss pillows. Then you can use the same color with different shades, for plates and napkins.

Be sure to avoid tropical prints or you lose the cottage look. And remember that yellow, pink, red colors are typical cottage colors.

For the floor, if the patio is covered, a braided rug or a hooked rug with flower motifs, will give a cottage look.

If it needs to be a weather resistant floor covering, you might still find a hooked rug that you can use. Otherwise a very simple geometric in greens and yellows, or several shades of green will help maintain or at least not destroy the cottage effect you want to achieve.

A few years ago I purchased a heavy, outdoor bar on wheels, but did not purchase the bar stools. There is no brand name on the bar. I know this company used to have a website. If anyone else has this furniture and remembers the brand name, you'd be a great help!
I bought my bar at the Laguna, CA store.

If I remember correctly, the Expo Design Center was a division of Home Depot. Maybe they can help you out.
Good Luck!

please help if you know/are an insider for HGTV. My grandparents would love to have a nice outdoor patio. The current patio is outdated with plastic furniture and an old swing and mismatched planters. The concrete is cracking and rough.
They have done sooo much for this family and I just want to give something in return. My Grandma would love to have a stained patio floor and to give the area a rustic, iron feel to match the outdoor 'chimney' they own.
I really love them but they have not the time or money to deal with this, I want to surprise them!!
We live in central/eastern Indiana, my e-mail is mss_218@yahoo.com.
Please help me out.

I watch a lot of hgtv. They mainly do California. The Deserving Design show concentrates on Atlanta.

Sorry but Indiana isn't a prime market I guess.
