This time of year outdoor furniture starts cropping up everywhere. We're always thinking about using outdoor furniture, like these fun cafe tables and chairs from Ballard Designs, indoors too...
Cafe Collection from Ballard Designs
By using wispy, outdoor furniture in your kitchen or a little nook in your living room, it's an inspiring reminder of warmer days (when you're in the dead of winter). It's true that these tables, which come in round (24", 30", and 36") and rectangular, have a hole in the middle for an optional umbrella. Just put a vase in the middle or think of something clever to stick in the hole!
We like the prices of these tables, which range from $89-$129, and the choice of red, white or black. The chairs don't feel like as good of a deal at $109-$119/pair but still not bad. You could always mix in a pair of vintage chairs from a local secondhand shop.

I love the fact that they can fold up. I'm thinking the rectangular one would be a good option to have around for when guests visit. It and the chairs could stay in the back of the closet until needed for company.
I currently use a cafe table (bought at Pier1 imports) as my kitchen / dining room table, since nothing bigger will fit. I love the look!

I use an outdoor aluminum cafe table that I purchased from retromodern.com as my indoor dining table. I like the fact that it's durable and low maintenance. I don't have to worry about scratching it or burning it (by putting a very hot plate directly on top of it).
