DEL.ICIO.USBalcony furniture - Hi or lo?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
It’s getting hot. Really hot.
So of course, the A/C in my NEW condo crashed, which forced me out to the balcony for a breeze.
Fortunately, I recently invested in a lovely set of wicker tub chairs from Restoration Hardware’s Hampshire collection (pictured). But when I actually spent time hanging outside, I realized my balcony set-up is lacking.
I need a table (side? dining?), ottomans for comfortable reclining, and the list goes on. But the chairs pushed me close to my budgetary limits and space on the balcony is tight.
One day soon I hope to own a home with a backyard and create one of those very chic outdoor/ indoor room setups, which would render my current balcony furniture unusable.
Cue my latest decorating dilemma: How much is too much to spend on balcony furniture? Any suggestions for lower priced, quality pieces?

Nedra, you made a nice choice! What if you added one side table and two ottomans from RH? They are on sale right now…or you could wait until the end of the season and get them even less expensively. Another option is Target. Have you seen their outdoor collections lately - very nice; however, the price is kind of comparable to the RH deals. If it were me, I would invest in the quality pieces from RH. You definitely want something that will hold up to the Atlanta heat!

I found several nice pieces at Tuesday Morning. I found a large black wicker table originally $800+ marked down to $250 and on sale for $50. It is very strudy. I found similar pieces at Garden Ridge that were very affortable.
