I love all the foliage and agree about the landscaping. It is a very pretty area but I would have a covering to provide shade. I am not a person who sits out in the sun and even a patio umbrella would do.

Too much white.

Very nice, but good luck trying to keep those white cushions clean.

The landscape is beautiful, but white outdoor furniture is not for me. They probably store these away when not needed, but most would not have room to do so.

In my wildest dreams I can't imagine putting white furniture outside. In my area it would be khaki by sunset.

Just beautiful, but I would opt for different colored cushions! Hard to keep that white clean outside! I also would like an umbrella to keep the sun from beaming right down. It is very pretty and love the water feature.......

Oh, that landscaping.......lovely. I agree with others about the white, but hey, maybe they have someone come in and clean it for them

I probably wouldn't choose white cushions for patio furniture either, but I imagine those living in this home have help maintaining their surroundings. I'd also suggest given this home is in the south that white doesn't retain heat as would something darker. Still, while I like this space and find the surrounding grounds beautiful, for a place to sit a spell, I'd opt for a covered area, preferably a screened in porch.

I'll take it! (although the white cushions aren't practical, I'd change them.)

Kachina, I agree. Haha. In the Dallas area it would be khaki and have mold on it. I can't imagine having that beautiful furniture outdoors.

Beautiful. I picture the Ocean beyond the Palm Trees.

Very pretty. I love it.

About the white cushions. Most likely Sunbrella performance fabric.

I have 10 cushions and two ottoman cushions in that shade (I think it's called Vanilla). They are cleaned easily and you can remove the covers and wash them in a light solution of Clorox and they don't fade out.

Sometimes I wipe them down with Clorox wipes. Sometimes just wipes. I think you can wash all the colored ones in diluted bleach and they don't fade. Not sure as I never washed my colored pillow covers in bleach. I have wiped them down with clorox wipes.

I don't want something to hide dust or dirt, I want to see it. What good does it do you to sit down on a dark colored cushion and it's filthy?

Would love that oasis in my life!

It's nice, but I've seen other outdoor spaces I like more. I'm not really loving the water feature. Again, I've seen others I like better. I'd prefer colored cushions to contrast all the white. I also would like some shade from a tree or umbrella.

It's "meh" for me personally. Just not my taste.

The landscaping is very nice except for those perfectly round minature trees.
