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?























What a great stool! This would probably be moved back and forth from back deck during outside weather and into the family room for those months when outdoors is to be avoided.
I'd use it in my backyard to spice up our outdoor space and provide more seating when entertaining.
Would love to use this as a side table to my orange leather sofa. How cute would that be?!
In the bay window area next to my couch. Thanks!
this is great just found out about freebie fridays wood love to win a nice stood like this one would look great on my deck and i never have won anything wish me luck
We are building a new home and would love this stool in my great room near my newly purchased bird pillows from a local shop. Orange of course!!
My master bathroom is now down to the studs and bare concrete floor. My plan is to do it in black and white with touches of yellow. The black on white, or the white on black would be perfect next to the walk in shower. Fabulous.
My favorite Vine Design Garden Stool is the orange one. It will be an inspiration of color and design in my art studio and a good companion when I paint en plein air. Thanks! http://julian-wayne-hagan.artistwebsites.com
If I won the stool, I would gratefully use it all around my home. It would be awesome in so many places, but my most favorite spot would be my front porch. We always have neighbors stop by and pull up extra seating.
I would put the gorgeous stool on my back deck or in my bedroom!
I can put this outside on the patio or inside in the living room. It will work great in either spot. That is what makes it so fun and usable!

LOVE IT! It would be perfect as a nighstand in my 5 year old daughters room! She loves watching HGTV and is always picking out stylish items she would like to add to her room. Her room is nature and beach inspired so it would blend in wonderfully!
I'd use this on the front porch…there's no place to sit and watch the rain!
I would use the garden stool on my back patio as a side table. I already have an orange umbrella and the orange stool would look great with it!
This would be prefect to put a drink on at our new lake house on the porch!
I would use it for a side table in my keeping room. The black and white one would look great!
Definitely the black with white swirls for my sitting room.
We're buying a new home and it would look perfect in the garden I'm planning to plant next year. The added storage is just a wonderful bonus!
Aww, I like the green one and I would put it in my dining room, anbright splash of green
Would be so pretty xx
I just moved in to my first apartment. I'm soooo excited.
I have no furniture. I've been sleeping on the carpet on my comforter.
I love every bit of it though. It's a feeling of growing up.
I would put this stool in the middle of my living space as my inspiration
to the way I will design the apartment. It would be my first piece of furniture.
I love the black on white one. Tres jolie et superbe!!
that's awesome i hope you win Wendy and congrats on your apartment
hope you win inspiration is always important!
i agree
those are really cool and the ultimate conversation piece they would look amazing as a piece for a low window or that nook that no one knows what to do with
Orange is my favorite color!
i love them
cool
they would look cool with my room
cool
i think that i would put that down stairs in my play room
awesome
i need one of those for my room
the orange would look amazing with my room of blue
fun piece
i think the orange or green and white is cool
that would look on a patio for quick but functional seating
I have the perfect place for it. My bathroom. I will use it as s stool as is because I like to seat down in the bathroom while a apply lotion, pedicure, etc. The yellow one is exactly the same shade as my accent color in my bathroom. I would love to have it.
This garden stool would look wonderful in my living room as a coffee table. When needed, it could also be used as a side table on my little deck.
I would just love to place the beautiful orange stool as a side table in my studio…
It would be perfect in my daughters room for extra seating when her friends visit and it would be perfect for her phone and daily jewelry beside her bed. Love the lime green!
In my daughters bedroom, front porch, living room,inside or outside too many areas too chose from. I love them all !!
I just finished redecorating my 14 year old son's room. Two opposing walls are true blue and the other two are citrus green but orange is his favorite color and the accents are going to be orange to add that extra pop of color. So I would love the orange one for his room to use as a stool or even better next to his bed as a night table for his clock and his eye glasses. Or I could also use it in his room for a plant. I have so many ideas for this -I could use it in my enclosed patio it would look beautiful with the loveseat and would be a nice contrast to the rug and rockers or I could use it to brighten up my very boring piano room where everything is dark wood and glass-it cries out for a colorful plant stand.
like a side table for sure!
I would use this on my porch as a plant stand
Ohhh Love the stools. I would love to have one in my room. Thanks for the chance to win
How divine! I can just picture the splashy orange stool nestled in my backyard sitting area. Thank you for the chance to win one of these beautiful ornate vine stools.
As extra seating by the fireplace. No back or arms to obstruct the view. Love the style.
I would use the green stool in my great room!
I would put on our deck in the summer for a side table for my iced tea and shades. In the winter I would bring it in for an extra seat or plant stand from a plant that needs to be nutured indoors during the winter months.
This will be a perfect addition to my newly redone living room with a indoor/outdoor deck. My theme is zen – this will be just perfect addition to the giant buddha head and the zen garden with river rocks on my deck.
I would have to say I would START out using this stool in my craft studio, but love that I can move it about from room to room and from inside to outside as my mood fits! Quite lovely!
We are trying to create a sitting area on our back patio and my husband has been begging to have some orange decor(bit UT fan!). The orange one would be a great starting piece that we could design around!
