Twig Furniture for the Cottage Garden
Do you like the look of homemade, twig furniture for your cottage garden? If so, this rustic twig chair might tweak your imagination around what you would like in your yard at the lake.
When walking around in cottage country, it’s great to travel the back alleys and side avenues to get the best view of the gardens. Many of the charming garden pieces that you will find in your walk about are typically situated in the privacy of the back or side yards.
The twig chair in this yard shows off the blossoms of pink petunias beautifully. The wooden chair is attractive in its own right, even though it is quite weathered and in need of repair, yet it looks lovely with the pot of pale pink flowers cascading over the top of the container placed on the chair seat.
If “rustic” is the style of your garden, you might enjoy taking courses in twig or willow furniture making, offered in many areas. Or, check out online sales or the local crafts shows for ready-made furniture. Then place your potted flowers, or leave it as is, without adornment, and enjoy a handsome addition to your cottage garden.
