~A new garden settee~
My girlfriend gave us her antique outdoor patio set and I’m absolutely in love!
We set it on our front lawn and it adds so much to the space. Eventually we would love to tear up part of the grass and add a compound dirt to give it more of a garden feel.

You can find us here just about everyday around 4 in the afternoon watching the kids play with all their friends. I really do live in the best neighborhood!
I hope the sun in shinning for you too!
XOXO

What a great friend! Adds a lot to the front of the house.
It looks beautiful against the grass and flowers! It makes me want to head out to sit, with a good book, ice tea and barefoot… so I can feel the cool green grass on my feet 🙂

It looks great! What fun to have it out in your front yard.
Love it. So pretty and what a great place to sit and watch the children. Hugs, Marty
I love the set, what a nice friend!!! I know you will enjoy it for a long time! XO, Pinky
Kristin, you have some great friends 🙂 A friend gave me an old beat up chair, the other day. She said she instantly thought of me. LOL! This is a beautiful set. It really adds a lot to the front of the house. I can just picture you sitting there and watching the kids 🙂
XOXO

I am so happy for you and sad at the same time. We had this same set in front of our house for 19 years and 3 years ago this summer someone came by in the night and stole the whole set. I was so sad. I still am. It really brightened up our front patio area. Your's looks great! Enjoy it!

That's a lovely set! … and a nice friend. I'm so glad you can sit there and spend the afternoon outside together with the kids.
Looks BEAUTIFUL Kristin!! Martina
Beautiful!! Have a wonderful day!
Hi Kristin, My parents had the same set on the porch when I was growing up. They also had a matching dining table and four chairs. I have always loved this patio set and wished they had kept it. Enjoy your new outdoor furniture.
Hugs,

Kristin I remember this look when I was growing up!! They always reminded me of something that would be on a Southern plantation. The pop of white is a great addition to your front yard and it will be a nice place to sit and watch your boys play ball, Enjoy,Kathysue

Hello,
It looks so pretty and what a cute place to be with friends while the kids are playing.
Take care,
Claudia
You have the BEST friends!!
Oh childhood memories of that kind of heavy outdoor furniture, cast iron & toe breaking, but very grand & lovely. Love Posie
What a sweet friend you have! That garden set is lovely and kind of romantic looking. It's perfect for your yard. Your grass is so green, Kristin and your landscaping looks beautiful.
You lucky thing, you! Why can't I have friends that give me antique patio sets?! Geesh! Justice, I just want a little justice!
It looks so great …. your're a lucky girl!!!!
Big hugs

Ok, so the set is just lovely – but what I want to know is… how do I get me some of that grass!? Oh, Australia. Yellow is the new green here. Hope you had a gorgeous Easter, lovely one. x
I have the same set! It was my grandmas, and I love it 🙂
How sweet of your friend to give it to you. I love it!!
This makes it
look like "a
garden" instead
of "a yard" as
the Brits like
to point out!
Now THAT's a nice
friend!!

That looks great! Its the perfect addition!

They really add a lot to the yard, especially with their ornate lines. Like more beautiful flowers! Hope you'll have a chance to check out my latest project, http://www.houseoffifty.com!

What a stunning set…adds great curb appeal!
So pretty! With the snow (!) and rain we've been getting this week, it will be awhile before I'll be able to sit outside. Our lawn is still brown from the spring thaw.
Looks GREAT!! What a wonderful friend to share such a fab set of furniture! Enjoy the sunny days!
