Roundup: Vintage Style Patio Furniture

A retro revival has been in the works for several years, and now it's made it way to the patio in full force. We love the vibrant colors and nostalgic edge of these cheery garden sets. They make us think of lazy Sunday BBQs and old fashion lawn games. Lucky for us, there are many options to choose from...

I had a couple of these chairs that were vintage and in rusted condition. I took them to a auto body paint place and had them painted in a very cool metallic blue paint color they looked great..I wish I would of kept them.

I've always liked the look of this type of furniture. Reminds me of my grandfather's house...as a kid I loved his glider. Makes me wonder whatever became of that furniture?

I have the blue retro lawn chairs from Lowe's, and I love them!!! They don't look tacky or cheap at all, iroh.

Don't spend good money on *new* retro furniture! I see furniture of this style on Craigslist all the time. It may need a little TLC, but it's cheaper. Plus it's better for the environment - and your wallet - to save someone's unwanted furniture from the dump than to buy new.
