Bohemian Outdoor Space?

I recently found (i.e., took out of the garbage at work) some dark grey, plastic chairs. Two of them looked similar to this...


And the other two look similar to these... All the chairs are in really good shape and should not have been in the garbage.
I have friends who are in the process of creating an outdoor space... on a tight budget. They already bought a 4-piece wood conversation set (with beige cushions) but want a dining area as well. They have a round wood table similar to this...

The table top is in rough shape and could use either being sanded and re-stained or painted.
I am going to try to convice them that all the above furniture could look really nice together in a sort of bohemian outdoor space. The chairs are great b/c they are all stackable which means they don't take up a lot of space when stored and since they are plastic they can be left outside. Once the table is re-stained or painted and protected it will also be weather tolerant. Throw in some colourful outdoor fabrics like...


... and some inexpensive but cute accessories like...



... and you have a really unique (and functional) outdoor space.
