Outdoor rooms part 2
Posted on Tue, 1 May 2007 by midcenturyjo
As the weather warms up for most of you it’s time to take another look at using outdoor spaces. Where I live in sunny subtropical Queensland we use our outdoor rooms all year round. Even in the southern parts of Australia there is only a brief period of the year where we don’t live outside. The fresh air beckons. And if you don’t have a permanent space to dine, laze and while away the day then a rug some pillows a garden set or hammock can extend your living space.

I soooo wish we had longer summers so we could take advantage of rooms like this for more than a few months out of the year. 🙁

I have just had an epiphany – in the Jed Johnson associates picture are THE WHITE CHAIRS THAT I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR SINCE CHRISTMAS. If anyone can tell me who makes them I will love you forever (you and the white chairs, that is). Thank you!
midcenturyjo says:
They're Bertoia Side Chairs in white. Don't know where you're from but the link is to DWR in the States. Sometimes you can find vintage cheaper but it will be a hard search. Try ebay or maybe craigslist. Most designer furniture stores will carry them.

I just love the swing on the porch. I simply must have one!!
Melanie says:
Thanks for the tip! I’m in Brisbane so I guess I’ll be heading to Space on James St.
Have a great long weekend!

Melanie dedece is the place to go. I don't think Space carries Knoll furniture. So it's off to Petrie Terrace for you. You can go to James St later for a drink at Cru. Can't believe you're from Bris Vegas! Yeah!!
Melanie says:
Thanks! – I live at Paddington but have never ventured into dedece (could be the close proximity to the strip club). Given the great taste displayed here I can’t believe YOU’RE from Bris Vegas (but I’ve gotta say I like the Bowery better than Cru).
midcenturyjo says:
Definitely the Bowery over Cru and breakfast in the Valley Mall Cosmo or Fat Boys beats James St anytime.
