Put Your Feet Up

I've seen these circulating the interior design world for quite some time {READ: a couple of years at least, but I'm typically behind in the chic department}. These ceramic garden stools are Chinese replicas and are another outdoor item being brought indoors...hurrah!
This past weekend when I was at Target, I saw this beauty on clearance for $70...I thought to myself, "Surely that's still a high price considering it's just a plain ole ceramic stool." But apparently this is a great price as even at Target.com this is a whopping $190. Ridiculous, no?

I think they look great in home decor. Right now my fear would be a wobbly toddler playing with Mommy's new piece of furniture...rolling it on it's side and inevitably breaking it to pieces...oh and the possibility of injury to said child {yes I worry about his safety too!}. Who knows, perhaps it'd be great in my bedroom where there's less chance of being fooled with.


Either way, I appreciate its use in interior decor and would be curious to see more photos of it in rooms. So if I'm not going to snatch this one up, I hope one of you might!

Check out this post on the Stools...too bad I don't have a Costco membership. For thirty-bucks I'd chance a toddler encounter =)

Went to BL's at lunch...they had two...both were a kind of bright blue, not the pretty, muted aqua that I was hoping for...but they were only 20 bucks and were pretty dern cute!

Awesome! I couldn't find any at my BL...apparently word got out quickly. But I'll try and swing by TJM this week =)

Speaking from experience I did have a toddler/stool crisis. The stool dod get rolled around and broke. I tried to glue it back together all while as was so happy nobody was hurt and that I only paid 30 bucks.

Have a great week!

Well, so glad no one was hurt...but sad for your well-priced find =( Thanks for the heads up though...so if I don't find one at TJMaxx, I won't beat myself up for it!
