Ceramic Garden Seats, So Versatile for the Home or Garden

As the years pass things wear out, my ideas for a room in my home may change, or I find something better for a space than what's currently there.  Does that happen in your home, too?  It gives us an opportunity to "freshen up" and revive our rooms, giving them new life.  

A while back, just for fun, I created a "wish list" board at Pinterest.   It's a virtual pin board where I can store a picture or idea for a product or item I may wish to purchase or make some day for my home/garden.  It may even be a product I'd love to find for an upcoming party or table setting I have planned.  I created the board fairly recently, so it's pretty empty right now.  Over time, items will be added and I'm sure some things will be removed.

Do you have a virtual pin board or a physical file for storing away pics of products you are thinking of purchasing one day for your home?  I guess you could call my Pinterest "Wish List" board my virtual Sears Roebuck Catalog.  It's filled with dogeared pages, red crayon marks and little notes scribbled into the margins.



Garden Seats or Stools:
Many years ago, long before decorating blogs existed, I devoured each issue of Traditional Home magazine when it arrived in my mailbox.  Often, I'd see beautiful rooms with pretty garden seats/garden stools.  I thought about adding one to my home, but they weren't very easy to find back then and when you did, they were pretty pricey.

Not so, now.  Garden seats are back in a big way, even appearing front and center on the cover of some magazines and many are very affordable.  Of course, if you buy an antique garden seat, you'll have to spend the big bucks, but you can find new ones for very reasonable prices.



You may remember seeing this ceramic garden stool in our tour of the Southern Living Idea House in Senoia, Georgia.
