July's issue of Canadian House & Home features Rundi Phelan's back garden, which she converted from a driveway between her house and its detached garage. We love it for how the different living areas — eating and lounging, for example — are laid out, and the bold black-and-white combined with natural textures and pops of pink.
The outdoor living area wraps around almost three sides of the house, so the personal lounging area (as opposed to the larger group sitting area) is situated just off of the bedroom.

I love those outdoor chairs. Does anyone know where I can get them (preferably somewhere in Canada) ?
Which chairs?
I don't know where to find Canadian House & Home in DC. It's very elusive--never in the same store twice. Anyone in the District know where to buy it?
I think I saw those outdoor chairs in a Restoration Hardware Catalog.
I love the twig/branch light. Does anyon know where that is from? Love the whole setup. She did a great job!
Oops, meant anyone not anyon.
canadian tire? seriously. they have some nice modern outdoor stuff. "mandalay collection": http://www.canadiantire.ca/browse/subcategory_landing.jsp?FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=1408474396673702&bmUID=1213216548052&deptid=1408474396672561&ctgrid=1408474396672573&subctgrid=1408474396673702
juliaonhamilton: While the one you pointed me to at Canadian Tire are very nice, I was talking about the chairs at the table (the ones with the arms).
rhiana: Sorry I should have been more clear
Anyone know where I could find those black and white wide striped seat cushions located in pictures one and three? I have been looking for something similar for an indoor window seat. Outdoor cushions seem to be the same dimensions. I thought finding a simple black and white wide striped cushion would be easy, but have had no luck. Ikea has something similar, but the material is not that nice as I am looking for something with a sheen. I suppose I could try to make them myself, but my sewing skills are non-existant. thanks.
