When we first married, the only thing we could afford for our outdoor recreation were plastic resin chairs, tables and one flimsy white plastic trellis for our front flowerbed. It was a few years until we graduated to a wooden picnic table with an umbrella in the middle and a couple of canvas chairs. That lasted about three years before we switched to a set of wrought iron dinning table and chairs and have stayed with iron ever since. One of the reasons is how easy it is to find things that will go with this style of decor. For instance, I had my pick from an array of wrought iron trellises this past spring to use in the back yard and found and bought them in a day on the internet!

I also just add things as I very rarely have to replace any of the iron plant stands or planters that we have displayed all over from our front porch to the large deck that is built onto the house in the backyard. These wonderful yard and garden accessories can be used over and over again as they last what seems to be forever and never loose their luster. They are also easily cleaned and painted if that’s what you want to do. Fun, lasting and beautiful; you’ll never need more!
