The paint I used is Behr Exterior Latex paint in Coffee Bean. However, it went on much lighter than expected. I think because we used a sprayer and my husband didn't do many coats it seemed a lot lighter than I was actually going for. If I could do it again, I would use Sherwin Williams paint in Black Bean. This is the front door color on my house and I prefer that chocolate brown compared to the lighter...but I really thought the coffee bean would have been much more like the Sherwin Williams...who knows what happened? I didn't question my husband's painting skills after all his hard work (haha).

I was toying with the idea of making my own cushions for an outdoor section that I'm building (me, who has absolutely no sewing experience... ha!!!). I'm sure you saved me a lot of headache and, likely, something that would have looked terrible. Instead, I will look first for pillows, then design and build the square sectional pieces around those already-purchased pillows. Again, thank you so very much for averting a disaster.

I am in the planning stages of making an outdoor sectional, and I was toying with the idea of making the cushions (me, who has absolutely no sewing experience). The thing is, since I'm designing and building the sectional pieces, I could make the sectional pieces the size of the cushions that I purchase (rather than trying to find cushions later that fit the sectional). Having read your article, I will look for cushions first, then build around those. Again, thank you so much for saving me a great deal of work (and which, likely, would not have turned out half as nice as the cushions that you made.
