Dining room

The red metal Fermob table and red cushions are the stars here, with espresso brown stainless steel benches, striped cushions (plainair.com), and wrought-iron side chairs to set them off.

Cannas shoot orange blooms that resemble candle flames above brownish foliage. The simple “floor” is decomposed granite.

For casual backyard parties, Oren throws blankets on the lawn for seating and uses the table as a buffet.
