Take a Seat...outside

So the outdoor office is still a work in progress - imagine that! I finally bought a print for one of the walls (see the NYC print from an earlier post this year) but have yet to find a frame for it. All in good time. A couple weeks ago we had an outdoor play set installed for Conley and did some quick improvements to the backyard landscaping while we were at it - a stone path to the back office, pulling out the dead grass and putting in limestone-bordered river rock in front of the office and planting a line of red tips along the back fence line which will hopefully one day be a line of shrubs (assuming that we don't kill them first or Oliver doesn't dig them up!) The nice, cleaned-up look to the backyard has re-motivated me to get to work on the outdoor office decor, especially the front porch. In my mind, I had pictured 2 kelly green metal chairs and either some side tables or perhaps some colorful planters. I've found a few colorful chair options and so now I just need to make a decision and get on with it!
An old find on my Pinterest board - don't know who makes them and the
link no longer works...but so bright and fun!

Love this collage of bright options - a few styles I repeat

The colors look a little off in this image, but have been eyeing the kelly
green rocking chair version of this chair for awhile now
