Upper Patio & Outdoor Furniture Makeover

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!

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.
