Tis the season for al fresco dining! In one of the homes we looked at recently, the owners had white wicker patio furniture similar to the set seen above and — though I had always been drawn to Aerin’s East Hampton collection, was totally won over by the retro-leaning look! You can get a similar style with Kingsley Bate’s Chatham set or — if the wicker is too fussy for your taste — this whitewashed set from Ballard.
A couple of other amazing finds…
