Not sure if everyone has noticed that Ceramic is very IN these days.
I have seen them in tons of decorating websites, magazines and shows. Personally I love Indonesian garden stools. I think they go very well next to an older looking piece of furniture. In general, I like contrast and I think ceramic accents can be a perfect tool to create this look and also help create my Bali/ Indo inspired decor that one day I will get to do.
I love this stool because its not the regular square or round ceramic stool. This one is a little bit more funky, although the most popular styles for these stools are these:
The bad part about these stools is that they tend to be very expensive. They run from $90-$400 plus. You can find these in several websites like:
LUCKILY...
I am a bargain shopper and like to find cheap deals. I found a beautiful Indonesian ceramic stool from a website that I absolutely love !!!!!!! This one is ONLY $39.00 and the best part is, that this website is a fair-trade retailer. This means that part of the money you spend on their products goes to the people who actually created them. The website even shows you the picture of the person.
NOW.. This is what I call a steal of a deal!
If you don't like the color and you prefer the white or bright green or whatever you like, you can always buy some ceramic paint and PAINT IT!
Once you paint it with ceramic paint it will look brand new, however I wouldn't do that with this stool (above) since we know that somewhere in Vietnam, someone took a long time to paint this stool so they can sell it. This is a piece of art.
But, if you do find other cheap garden stools that you woudl like if they were a different color, then just paint them!
