I'm attempting to finally get my apartment decorated. I remember thinking when I moved in May of last year how much I would enjoy sitting out on my porch in the evening. That didn't happen, so I've determined I won't let another summer go by without sitting on the porch.
I had narrowed the porch furniture choice down to Lowe's and Bed, Bath & Beyond (or as Eileen calls it Bed, Bath & BodyWorks). Lowe's had a pair of chairs for $250 but no matching small table. Bed, Bath & Beyond had a chair/ottoman combo for $100, plus you could buy a small matching table. I had noticed the BB&B chair a few weeks ago, but they were all still in boxes. I stopped by the store this evening and had a guy build one for me. If anything, I figured they would probably sell more if they had one built. I had a coupon for BB&B and went with their chairs. Plus, I had the fun of putting them together myself (not sarcastic, I actually enjoy stuff like that). Lowe's would have required borrowing a SUV or paying for a delivery.
Now, I just need to get an outdoor rug and some plants.
