Upper Patio & Outdoor Furniture Makeover

February 7, 2018
  • Share

Things are coming together over here in Beverly Hills!

Many of you may remember my old patio from my tiny cottage in Hollywood Hills — and now I’m taking elements of that space and incorporating it into my new oasis!

Welcome to my personal sweet spot… the upstairs patio of my home that is nestled in the hills and surrounded by beautiful palm tree views. An instant calm!

When designing this area, I totally lucked out and found some cool vintage iron furniture from the Pasadena flea market and had it redone.

 

The table and four-chair set is by 50’s/60’s designer Arthur Umanoff. Typically, these sets go for anywhere around $2K-$5K, so I hit the jackpot when I found mine for $300 at the flea market. Now, don’t get me wrong, they were rusty and had beaten up broken vinyl seat covers — but nothing a little facelift couldn’t fix! This is Los Angeles, afterall! I kid, I kid.

BEFORE: Found this old and rusty vintage table set at the Rose Bowl Flea Market in Pasadena, CA.  As you can see, it needed a lot of TLC!

share

AFTER: With a bit of elbow grease and polish, this iron table and chair was totally transformed. Good as new!

Here’s how much it cost for me to make over this pretty outdoor set:

  • Vintage Arthur Umanoff Metal Table & Chairs: $300
  • Delivery: $125
  • Powder Coating (Matte White Finish): $400
  • Upholstered Seat Cushions (Blue Outdoor Fabric): $300
  • TOTAL REFURB: $1125

Remember… these are thousands more online! One person’s trash is my treasure!

Just to give you an example of how much these sets are retailing for, check out these examples here and here.

The other chairs you see here are the teak furniture I had on my patio at my cottage in the Hollywood Hills. I’ve had these for about 15 years, if you can believe it! For a walk down memory lane, check out my old patio makeovers by clicking here and here!

Both of the rugs on my upper patio are COCOCOZY Tower Court design. I also threw a mix of the COCOCOZY pillows and cheaper pillows from Pier One onto the benches and two armchairs.

You can shop these looks (below)!

There you have it! I hope you all find a space in your home that brings you as much peace as this one has for me. 

PS — Let’s connect on Instagram! I would love to see what projects you all are working on. xo

More from the COCOCOZY Design House! An upstairs bathroom. Was so excited last week to see this bath featured on House Beautiful’s site. White subway tile contrasted with black slate mosaic tile on the floor. The light fixture was initially specified for the foyer of the home but I liked the way it looked in here. I added some decorative molding around the wall mirror and tah dah...high constrast small bath! Thanks to design house partners @totousa deep soaking tub and plumbing fixtures. @caesarstone counters. @lampslus light fixture. @benjaminmoore white walls. 📷: @reidrolls

Things are bright and cheerful inside the COCOCOZY Design House thanks to all the @benjaminmoore Super White OC-152 painted walls. Here’s a glimpse of the dining room before and after the paint. Oh what a difference some paint makes! Swipe left to see the before. BTW don’t you love the decorative grill on the HVAC return. I had to have this made to make an air/heating exhaust look good! 💃🏾Tap profile link for full break down on my paint colors in the house.

Here is the COCOCOZY Design House kitchen as featured on House Beautiful’s website. To see more of the house check out my IG feed or tap profile link for blog post about the @housebeautiful reveal. Love this view of the kitchen. We built this massive arch between the dining and kitchen where there used to be a tiny door only! The kitchen is super functional and pretty. Did the two toned cabinetry thing and the farmhouse sink from @kohler. So funny 5 of the 9 COCOCOZY Design House partners products happen to be in this small vignette! [email protected] - counters. [email protected] - kitchen sink/faucet. [email protected] - lighting
[email protected] - dishwasher
[email protected] - paint (Silent Night lower cabinets, Super White upper)
Everything including the kitchen sink makes this my dream kitchen!

Fantastic Friday when I woke up to find the COCOCOZY Design House made the lead story on @housebeautiful website today! The cat is out of the bag! House tour is featured! So thankful and grateful for this. Tap profile link to head to their site to read the story by @candacebd. This is the living rooms the house! Will share details about this room and the whole house over the coming weeks! By the way, it took an amazing village of people who helped make this happen! @almostanythingi @parkerjersey @daledaleyo @anabel.bostedt and to my amazing house remodel mentor SFJ of @bettershelter! Thanks to @soniarodriguespr! #socococozy 📷: @reidrolls @reidrolls.interiors

Back balcony is looking good thanks to partner @cementtileshop! For today’s COCOCOZY Design House update, it is all about the back balcony of my 1930 Spanish Colonial Revival in the View Park area of Los Angeles. Swipe left to see the before! You should see the balcony now with a little seating and some plants added in. It looks good. I picked this quatrefoil tile pattern because it compliments the home’s architectural style and colors. I also thought tiling the balcony floor would make a fun trend moment in the house. One more thing, for the balcony wall, I had my COCOCOZY “Gate” textile pattern made into cement wall grates! So happy with the way this little bit of personalization makes this outdoor space work. Tap link on profile to see the balcony from every angle! Soon I will also reveal how it looks now that it is styled!
