As an American, I am utterly and completely charmed by the bucolic passageways, manicured flowers, and antique garden furniture of English estates. There are, however, two problems: first, living in Manhattan (and LA proper before), I do not – and never did – have that kind of outdoor space; and second, faking heritage is not particularly easy to do.
But I just found an antique-style outdoor ‘semi’ table by Safavieh, currently marked down in Amazon’s Big Spring Sale (on through March 31), that comes serendipitously close to solving both. Because it’s only half a circle, it creates the impression of a sprawling backyard space – that carefree, I-have-so-much-outdoor-space-I-don’t-even-know-what-to-do-with-it energy – while sitting neatly flush against a wall and taking up very little room.
