Am on a very tight budget

anyone ever think abt using patio furniture indoors as
front room furniture?

Been there, done that. Loved it. Lots of stuff available at yard sales.
Lots of fluff items that make your living room look like a patio at a condo
in Cabo. Definitely relaxing. If you have room, put up a hammock, too. A
very casual air for entertaining. And you're not worried about anyone
getting bean dip on the leather sofa.
