As Autumn comes in, and summer hasĀ gone for another year, a lot of us turn our attention to inside the house, butĀ here’s an interesting article about outdoor furniture cushions that I thought I should share with you.

It is so exciting when a family moves into a home of their own. My son and his wife and children are having this experience this summer. They have been renting a town home for three years and are now able to afford a home of their own.

They moved to a small town that is located about twenty minutes from the city that the two of them work in. The home is within the city limits so they have sewer and water, yet the setting is very quiet and more like being out in the country.

The house has four bedrooms, which is perfect because they have a boy and a girl. Everyone will have their own room and they will have a spare room for guests that will double as their office space. There is a family room as well as formal living room.

The kids will share a bathroom, the parents have one in the master suite and the guest bedroom in the lower level of the house has a separate bath. The dining room has a patio door that leads out to a large deck. The deck has a built in table and bench seating.

My daughter in-law asked me to go shopping with her to find outdoor furniture cushions to place on the benches. She also wanted to find two chairs that could be used at the ends of the table to create more seating space. This sounded like a fun outing so I agreed to go along.

We did not realize when we started looking for the outdoor furniture cushions that it was going to be such a challenge to find the right size. Most of the outdoor furniture cushions are designed for chairs.

Those that were long enough for the benches were often seamed to bend for lounge chairs. The clerk gave us a great suggestion to go to a marine dealer. They make waterproof pads for pontoon boats that would work well as outdoor furniture cushions. They are made to handle the sun as well as rain.

My daughter-in-law knew that there would be times when they would get left out in the elements and she did not want them to be ruined. We went to the marine dealer and found cushions that were the right thickness. They were a few inches shorter than the benches, but they were the same width.

The marine dealer gave her a great deal. The cushions had come standard on a pontoon boat and the customer wanted custom ordered ones instead. The cushions added a great finishing touch to the deck.
