Patio Cushionry
Mrs. Lilien | Thursday, May 26, 2011 
I recently acquired a vintage patio set similar to that above - to which there are no appropriate words to express how much I love! The eight piece [yes, eight piece] set is rather excessive - boasting 4 chairs and 1 large fan-back throne that has me all hot and obsessive - a love-seat, a chaise, and a large removable-tray table that's totally impressive. That said, I've got to update the patio cushionry - I need to bring it up to speed and make it all Mrs.-womanly! I've fallen head over heels with this Trina Turk collection - it speaks to my inner pool goddess and is aligned in my direction. I've sourced a few patterns that make my Mrs. heart go pitter patter - I'd love your opinion on which you think would be most fitting and patio-dapper. I could ponder the decision for months on end - but time is of the essence with summer right around the bend. I'd be so endlessly grateful if you'd lend me your advice - on which one of these patterns will complete my patio paradise!
Please Lend me your preference in the comment section - and I promise to let you know my final selection!
Kisses,
Mrs.

I can't choose between A + F, but those are my definite favorites.
I'm so jealous- would kill for those chairs! As for the fabric, love B, D, E and F most:)
I'm loving C and F!
Love them all! But E has stolen my heart. What can I recover in that?
i think it would be totally appropriate to pick two or three of these, not just one!
D is my favorite, sunshiny yellow for the patio will certainly pop against the aquas of the pool or green grass :)
Mix C & F!!
I'm loving this idea of mix-matching... I bet it'll be brilliantly eye-catching!!
Thank you for the fantastic suggest, why I think that option is truly the best!!
-Mrs.
that's what i was thinking, too! especially because the chairs are white, you can definitely pull off a couple of different pops of color and pattern.
WHOA!!!! what a dream!
i adore adore adore trina turk's stuff for schumacher. i vote for D then C or combined. D has my heart though, it's so unique & the yellow is so very summer & patio.
It's beautiful, I would mix and match for sure... very summery.
C & F are so very Mrs Lilien, and will look spactacular outside the Mrs Manse.
A, E, F!
Definitely mix and match! Love C + F, but also D!
And SO jealous of your new patio set! Sounds divine! xox
I immediately am in love with C, but then after reading about all of the pieces that you have, I thought that it would be awesome to mix & match too! I would figure out which pattern you can't live without and get a set in all one color. Then get a few of the cushions in a different color (I'm loving F) that you can switch out every now and then for a change of scenery. Another idea could be to pipe the cushions in a different color...
I'm loving D or C, being the aqua and yellow loving girl I am.
E + H = yummy
This is so much fun! I like A, B H!
D! yellow would be stellar with these. rad find, lucky gal!
C+F So jealous!!
I loved D! Although I am a little partial to yellow
Alternate A + D.
Totally H and then pipe it in turquoise!
C is the most classic and fabulous. The light blue color and simple pattern will go with every guests outfit.
I love D! I think it would look great with navy or black welting.
A, C, or F... I can't decide!
A, D and F!! But if I think of the "Mrs." in terms of her style, I'd say D looks like you! ;)
D for sure!
H, please! The color is beautiful and the print is fabulous. The small striations read almost like a solid, making it easy to pair with pillows and whatnot. Have fun!
We love yellow. D.
Oh, Mrs. Lilien, my dear sweet pal, ANYone who knows you, KNOWS you are yellow gal! Therefore, my choice for you MUST be D, however, I'M a straight-lined kinda girl, so secondly, I choose, F & C. :)
How does it make you feel that you have your friends RHYMING for you?!! And how long before the mentioned cushions are ready for sitting & sipping?
D or G!!
I'd use either C or E to make me feel like I'm lounging by the pool or the ocean.
A & C <3
I vote if there are 8, you do one in each, or pick a few and mix and match. thats more fun if you ask me. c, d, g, and h are my favorites!
I'm loving B + C, but I also love C + F! Have fun choosing!
A - for a fresh look
But a BIG -D - for a retro "Raleigh Hotel" feel. I really see you at the Raleigh! That's my vote
I love A. I am obsessed with orange. I also love G and H. A and H could be used together... same color/different pattern. But I think I would do G because it's almost a neutral... you could put lots of options with it.
I am actually in the process of doing the same exact thing! You can see my patio on today's post... I can't wait to find the perfect fabric to cover up my faded cushions!!
The French Tangerine
A & D are my faves!
Definitely think C ang G are the most sophisticated and the one's that you won't tire of!
Oh, I am late to this post, but not to Trina Turk -- she's one of my faves for both dress & decor. As for the prints, you must go with the mix. Either complete randomness or an exploration of patterns in about three different colors, I think. Divine. You will post pics when you're done, yes?
All so pretty....but love D the best. Very vintage Palm Springs/Palm Beach vibe, with the white rattan. Pretty pop against blue skies, green trees, aqua pool...and sundresses!
B piped in that lovely aqua in a solid!!
