In recent years outdoor furniture has become a LOT more sophisticated.  Thanks to retailers like Frontgate, gazillions of people have seen and gotten decorating ideas from the beautifully appointed outdoor rooms in the catalogue photos.

The days of ticky-tacky are long gone.  And we say "thank goodness and high time."

But today, on a Home Decor Thoughts Wednesday, we have an "outdoor room" (really more of a sitting nook) that is beyond sophisticated.  We spied this space in Veranda magazine a couple of years ago; and decked out with a pair of gorgeous wing chairs, a stone table made of 18th century limestone slabs (would kill for the table - well, almost ) and eye catching  accessories, this space is tres chic and gorgeous.

Check it out.  (And those chairs - from Dennis & Leen - and yes, the fabric is an outdoor fabric from Donghia.)
