My Favorite Oregon Wine Country Boutique Stay, carlyhas the most gorgeous interior (seen here), but their back patio sat empty all winter long. And while this is fine for the rainy months, with summer arriving, I had to indulge myself in getting it right. The owners are two of my closest friends, and it benefits me too (we’re celebrating Brian’s mom’s 80th birthday here this summer). That’s why I partnered up most modern Furnish it within a few weeks with furniture that not only looks good but is also durable. We wanted to create the outdoor oasis this property deserves.

The structure is a really dark, almost black green, and the setting is very wooded and green, so I knew we didn’t want anything too bright or white. i found this set In powder-coated black aluminum and gray outdoor fabric that was perfect. It provided enough contrast to be interesting to look at, but from a distance, it really integrated into the surroundings. The set can be purchased individually or a la carte.

I love the proportions of this property. It’s a big scale, feels really grounded and strong. The seat cushions are sturdy and feel like they’ll last 10 years, which is what you want in the PNW. I tried making this at home, but the style didn’t fit our flagstone landing pad.


The gray display fabric is perfect – light enough that it contrasts the black frame, but not too light, which would get quite dirty here (which might be fine for families, but not for hotel guests). It feels modern, and yet we made it really attractive and comfortable. I emphasized these with rust and wood tones, which matched the copper interiors of the home’s outdoor sconces. side table Heavy and super high quality (and I have other versions of them lying around all year long in perfect condition).

I framed it with potted plants Dennis’ 7 Dees, With utensils from AllModern. I like to brag about my plant styling talents in low, wide-bowl planters (which no one should copy). I think it turned out pretty, I don’t know what I’m doing (their gardeners will continue to care for them or plant them where they can live).

The planters from AllModern were excellent. that big ceramic planter It is wide enough to accommodate a large cherry or lemon tree.

I love how well it integrates with the space, and while in the summer they may need to add an umbrella, this will greatly expand their use outside.

outdoor pillows Add lots of warmth and texture to a more modern and contemporary set. I really kept it simple, but it all works so well together.

Now on the patio, I continued the dark theme. a black aluminum table with stackable chairs Which are generous in size and super classic in shape.

They plan to order an extra table for longer dinner parties, but trying to store 16 chairs is daunting unless they are stacked. So these heavy resin charis are very durable and strong, and can be stacked and stored easily (not covered, LOL, you know how I feel about that).

It started raining about 2 hours into our shoot, causing all the water on the deck. Big thanks to Caitlin for stepping up. I will say that we continued to dry the surfaces, and not having wood was a real dream. Metal and resin will perform very well here.

AllModern also sells lots of the unbreakable outdoor plates and cups we styled the table with. They look absolutely real, and they feel nice and weighty in your hands (not cheap and light).




Gaps in the metal table allow rain to pass through, which is important to reduce water accumulation. It was literally a dream to get rid of it.


We surrounded the dining area with more potted plants – my whole theory is “build walls to give the feeling of a room”. long brown And black gardens Are so long and have a shelf inside for smaller plants (so you don’t have to add 4 bags of soil to fill them). They are very light, but they look like metal. So they’re easy to move around and rearrange (or store in the winter). terracotta one The clay is and is definitely the real thing – heavy and very high quality.

There she is – praying through her teeth that we can get all the shots before a completely unexpected storm. Never trust Oregon weather guys!!



thank you very much to most modern For participation in this shoot. They have a huge variety of colors and styles, so while this gray and black works really well here, if you prefer white and teak, they have an exceptionally curated collection. thanks for doing carly To the most amazing place. You can rent it for luxury weekends, retreats or weddings Here.
