Now that you've decided you can expand your living space outside and beyond the walls of your home...how about some Country-style outdoor furnishings?
A good example might be the Faux Bois Garden Seat shown, offered by Victorian Trading Company.
The popular renaissance of a very old concept, "faux bois", French meaning "imitating wood", is represented in this romanticized furniture of gnarled branches cast in concrete... assured to endure forever in the garden.
I've ordered from Victorian Trading Company for years and have NEVER been disappointed!
Things that make a perfect country garden...furniture made of willow and wicker...Adirondack chairs...or maybe Gabriella's Garden Bench or a sign noting a sleeping garden... also offered by Victorian Trading Company.
It isn't about expense, although some "old fashioned" items certainly can have modern-day prices, but more about the feeling of peace, serenity, and calmer times that outdoor furniture and accessories can bring to your country garden.
There is such a wide selection of furniture available via the internet - from all corners of the world. I encourage you to take your time to find the perfect furniture match for your outdoor country garden. Here are a few of my favorites...

The high back of this Shaker bench was originally intended to protect you from drafts when sitting in front of the fire. On your porch or in your front hall, the Shaker Bench provides a convenient place to sit while you put on or take off your boots, or just to collect your thoughts.
Handcrafted in the USA of solid white pine. Choose from seven hand-rubbed, slightly distressed finishes: Antique White, Antique Red, Antique Black, Bayleaf Cottage, White Stained, Finishes: Honey, Pine, and Chestnut.
