Where did you find this image?

I agree totally Melinda - why buy mass-produced imports (which very likely won't stand the test of time, or you'll tire of) when you can have unique chairs custom-made to your taste? Find a pro who specialises in custom-makeovers of vintage chairs (like me!). If you check out my site you'll see the sort of thing I do. You can either source the chairs yourself from vintage shops, Gumtree or recycling centres ( Canberras Greenshed is a beauty) or businesses like mine can help you. Attached are a few pics of a job just completed - a Parker furniture suite purchased from my local FB Buy/Sell/Swap page for a song and fully refurbished incl. timber finishing and new upholstery. Buying quality Australian-made furniture is a great investment, and even if you eventually tire of it, it has a resale value (unlike the mass produced stuff). Also - have you considered mis-matched dining chairs? A great way to combine vintage finds when you can't get a whole set you like. The trick to making it look intentional rather than accidental is to refurbish them all with at least one repeating element, such as the upholstery, or the timber finish.There's a recent article on HOUZZ showing some great examples). This solution will take longer than buying ready-made from a shop, but the best things in life take time. Good luck!

For me...I'd keep the deck the colour it is, may give it a refresh if necessary and go hunting for outside bentwood firniture, you know that curly bamboo kind, it never dates and is elegant and above all comfortable...where many outdoor settings may look good but are not inviting. If the space were mine...and if it had shelter from the elements, or if you didn't mind some of those outdoor firniture protector covers for inclement weather ( when you may as well bring the furniture in...whatever it is..) .I'd also condsider going on the hunt for some lovely old colonial-looking wicker items painted brilliant white, it always makes a statement, always looks classy and is always gentle on the posterior! If you can find the genuine article often you will discover that the seats are made of entwined dried grasses and palm leaves. I'd also go looking at some of those plant/cafe' places...that sell plants, fountains, as well as up-market snacks and are often furnished with wicker...no harm in asking where they bought it...they may even sell it. Its a cosy little space...I'd just have come large comfy outdoor chairs and maybe little side tables. Think of fancy English ladies sitting out of doors watching a cricket match on the manor lawn and sipping drinks...that's the scenario I see there. Maybe even one of thos old tall plant stands with a large green specimen plant....Most of all....have fun.

I really like the idea. But you need to see whether the height of the chairs is in sync with the table for comfort of diners. But great use of opposites.
