Get this look

Interior designer Kristy Lynn Smith knows how to dress up an outdoor living area. Her covered patio on Balboa Island has designer chic on the cheap. 

Daybeds from West Elm

Outdoor rug from Ballard Design Catalog

Mirrored tables - Target (sold out). Try 4 cubed ottomans from Overstock.com or one large one.

Chinese garden stool - Overstock.com

Throw pillows - Kristy likes Target (in store) for variety and price.

And don’t forget the finishing touches that make the space cozy and usable, the chandelier (hers is vintage), the tabletop lamps and outdoor drapes with black trim.
