Furniture for your outdoor living space...

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!

Plow & Hearth has a less expensive option Faux Bois Garden Bench. Unfortunately the table is no longer available from Plow & Hearth.

       
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...

Reflection Bench - Tranquil Reflection for your backyard garden

This classic garden bench adds unequaled elegance to any garden or patio with its clean lines and graceful curves. Inspired by traditional Provencal design, it raises the bar for functional beauty.

The Reflection Bench is made from kapur, an extremely dense, durable hardwood that's nearly as hard as teak and will outlast cedar 10 times over. Unlike cheap imitations that use smaller and thinner slats, this substantial bench is made to last. Wood has been sustainably harvested and manufactured according to ethical labor standards

Bring a book and read or just sit, relax, and enjoy the fruits of all your garden labors!

Lake House Reader's Rocker - the Classic "Wing Chair"

Read or relax? Do both in this generously-sized chair. An extra-high back and wrap-around wings support your head, and a handy pocket on the side holds books or magazines.

Vinyl "wicker," a powder-coated steel frame, and aluminum rockers make it perfectly weatherproof. Real wicker does provide a certain country feeling to outside furniture, but it is hard to maintain. This wicker-look vinyl provides a great alternative.

Graciously-sized and super-comfortable with open woven back and sides.
