When beauty meets function, it’s truly a match made in heaven. There’s no better feeling than walking into a store, seeing something gorgeous, taking a closer look and discovering it’s multi-functional. (“It has storage, too! SQUEEE!”) That’s what I love about these vine design garden stools from Outer Banks Trading Group. They are super stylish conversation pieces, come in several colors and make fantastic seating options both indoors and out.
We’re giving away one of these superb ceramic stools this week for Freebie Fridays. The winner gets to choose from any of the fab colors above. (I’m partial to the orange one, but the choice is yours.) To be entered for a chance to win, simply leave us a comment in the field below before 12/11c Monday, September 5.
This week’s question: If you are the winner, where and how would you use this indoor/outdoor garden stool? Front porch or back patio? As a side table in your living room or a stool in your master bedroom?
I would be using the black and white ones in my living room. Would be so great beside my "lazy girl" chair to sit my current novel or a cup of coffee as I was reading. Plus what great extra seating when entertaining. LOVE them!
these totally have my daughters name all over it!!! We just redid her room and I know itI wouldn't matter what colour because I know she could make it work anywhere:)
Love the orange. I would use as an accent table in my family room.
I would definitley put the stool in my bedroom with a huge plant on top of it, i love the color and it goes well with my asian inspired bedroom re-do. THANKS
We've just completed our patio. These would be a perfect pop of color to the yard.
I love the orange one!! I would display it my bedroom with a huge plant on top of it…goes well with my asian inspired bedroom re-do. Thanks
like the black background one; would go in my bedroom as a plant stand if we get lucky and win!
My kitchen is painted orange. I have the prefect corner for the orange and white stool. I'll sit it in a corner as a side table with a cute little chair. You can't be sad when surrounded by orange!
I would get the black and white one, and use it in my kitchen as a plate holder for appatizers!!! :p
I have the perfect spot for it in my office…I knew if I waited long enough, the right piece would show up!
Should I be the very lucky winner I would give it to my fabulous sister-in-law as a belated birthday gift. Difficult economic conditions prevented me from giving her a gift this year. She has been my best friend for 20+ years and always been there for me…and I know that hasn't always been easy. Kim and my brother have a new home and she has been enjoying decorating their new space, including the open screened porch and gardens. With her creativity she would find just the right spot for a pop of color.
Wow, hard to choose one color, but if I had one of these it would go in my bathroom . Nice place to set my coffee, book while soaking in the tub.
love the dark green one!
Wow!!!! Ican't think of where not to use these garden drum tables. First, next to the tub holding towels. Second, with a glass top as a side table. The Japanese Kiri on the drum is perfect for displaying my vintage Phoenix Bird porcelain. A tea or chocolate Phoenix set would look both old and new on a glass top covering the drum. I don't have a lastly—go on and on!
If I was chosen to receive this stool, I would give it to my mother for her birthday. She has always been so selfless, putting her three daughters before herself for the past 22 years. I know she would love to draw inspiration from a single piece while she is remodeling the outdoor patio and her zen garden area. This stool would be such a fantastic spring board for her new design ideas!
Would definitely use in guest bathroom!
I will use itnin my entry way and i want the orange one…
One of these would look lovely in my sun room!
I would love to use this in my master bedroom. The only question is which color…I love them all!
The orange would look great in my entryway…complements our bright orange accent wall!
We waited 8 years to afford our new solarium .now we use it all the time . It was a perfect place to sit and watch the snow pile up outside the windows last winter. We have always admired these garden stools. One would fit nicely in our pretty room. All the colors are lovely. How do you choose ?
We just had a concrete pad installed in the backyard. I would use the garden school to introduce some additional color into the space.
we just put a pool in our backyard this summer. I place the orange one right between my two lounge chairs.
Oooh, the orange! In summer, I'd use it as a seat/stool in one of my little sitting circles. When the weather turned cooler, inside in the sunroom. Love these and have been admiring them from afar for a couple of years now!
If we were to win, we would use this as a side table on our front porch, and in the winter months, I would bring it indoors and use it as a side table in our family room
I would use my stool as a centerpiece in my living area (not quite sure about the actual sitting part), The scroll design completments the ironwork on my indoor shutters! And the green matches one of the walls.
the stools are unique and beautiful at the same time.i think it would be great in any room
it would be the perfect perch for some guitar playing or sketching
I would use this in our spare bedroom as an accent to compliment our Oregon State colors. The orange or black one would be perfect as an accent table. Hope we win.
Orange would look great next to my couch or may be taken out to the patio for extra f
irepit seating…
Oooooh! So pretty! I would use one as a landing pad beside my bathtub! Thanks for the chance –
Love all the colors! They could go anywhere. I'm thinking on my stone patio enjoying the yard in the summer, then move it inside for the winter
I would love to have one of those stools in my garden, in a quiet little spot.
Perfect decoration for my fireplace. Love the orange.
My 2 yr old daughter loves the orange too!! But I think the lime would look great on my front porch.
I would probably use it on my deck for now and when we finish our new patio it would have a great new home there!
i agree…orange. i would use it inside – in my family room as extra seating. we have orange accents all over our house and it would look perfect!
I'd put it in my 3 season room.
I'm partial to the orange as well. So many possibilities …… but a definite spot for my evening martini to rest upon
I would definitely use it on my Patio!
I would use this on my patio as a side table……
front porch for all to see!
I WOULD USE IT AS A TABLE OUTSIDE NEXT TO OUR POOL, IT WOULD BE BETWEEN OUR CHAIRS WHERE WE LIKE TO SIT IN THE MORNING AND DRINK OUR COFFEE.
Love the orange one which would give a color boost to my screened porch!
Oh man, I've been looking for that plash of color & need a table too – for the front porch.! My curb appeal is a white house with charcoal trim. Hit me with some color… please.
The green and white vine stool would look lovely outside on my porch up against my green home [with white trim]. I'd put it next to my outdoor settee for holding my glass of lemonade and it would be great for extra seating when guests come over. Thanks!
I would use the green one on my front porch to match my black and white stripe seat cushions and green pillows!!!
I love the designs,especially the black stools,would definitely match my concept to my new house in our front patio.
One of these stools would look fantastic on our covered back porch. We hope to remodel some of the porch area to include an outdoor kitchen space and this would be a beginning for some of the furnishings.
I love the vine design garden stools by the Outer-Banks Trading Group! My favorite color is the green one and I'd opt to display it in our bedroom in front of our sofa-it's a welcoming change from using another basket for storage and so functional and chic.
