Lunch on the Lanai

 
My cousin who lives about 45 minutes away ordered Girl Scout Cookies...yes I know that was months ago when we were selling GS cookies  so I tried to hold on to them until we were reasonably settled...only one box got away {Mr. Incredible has a thang for Thin Mints}.  I invited her to come see the new pad and pick up her cookies on Thursday.  So I hauled out our dining room table to the brick Lanai and have a lunch of Chinese Chicken Salad and fresh squeezed Lemonade, {lemons from our Lemon/Orange Tree} and Lemon straws for dessert.

I decided to bring our dining room table outside because the chairs that go with it don't lie flat and scratch the refinished hardwood floors when pulled in and out.   But dang that day it was close to 100 degrees!!  I have a small shade umbrella but as you can see it did not provide much relief from the sun.  Poor cousin, I think I melted her make up right off her face.  As you can see I have a hodge podge of chairs out there. I was thinking of getting those Galvanized Metal Tub Chairs from World Market for the table inside the house that MacKenzie is sitting in,  but Mr. Incredible was not too fond of the idea and thought they did not so with the inside of the house,  so maybe outside it might work and look better.   We will dine al fresco all summer until we find a table for the dining room, which is easy to do because in California it never rains in summer.  I like the look of the four or maybe two tub chairs and maybe a bench on one side.  I have a plan of redoing the lid of the table with old "barn" wood if I can get hold of something that will look like that or made to look like it.  Recently Heather Bullard at PresentPast blog  had a post on a farmtable her hubby just finished for her and she was deciding on what chairs she was going to choose for her outside dining farm table he made{what a guy}...check it out....I thought it was so funny because I was deciding on the exact thing except...I have been making that decision for over a year since I saw these chairs in Country Living Magazine!!!  Now that we moved and have a house of our own...I'm sure things will happen faster...{i hope}

I think I'd like to get the Kooboo Wicker Chairs from World market or they have some affordable ones at Ikea or maybe these from Ikea too, for the inside dining table and seeing if I can find a round dining table to help with a better flow in my dining area.  I think depending how slim the chairs are will determine which would work better. 

 
What do you think?  What way do you think I should go?  Or do you have a better idea for my dining room and my dining room al fresco?
