How much did you pay for this found?

Marcela

Where can I find this patio set? or at least a chair? I have been looking for a while and here you have it.

I'd be interested in hearing. The TOS seems rather clear that it is not unless expressly approved by Amazon. I guess if the library got it in writing then they would be ok.

Designing your house may always seem like a dream project that you have been thinking of for a long time. There are several architects and engineer that specialize in the art of designing homes for people.

It is interesting to note that with the state of the enconomy more people are enjoying their decks and patios than before, or taking the family for a nice picnic in the park. Maybe it's bringing us more together as families. Pete

I have a similar set that I just bought and I am in the same dilemma, but was thinking about removing the rust and painting it white. But I think I will leave it white now and add the red/white table cloth and leave it retro looking. I would do the same, they are too beautiful to be changed. my two cents.

Theresa@TakeASentimental Journey

WHITE ! Then every color of cushion would go with it.

D Casey

I VOTE RED! White is lovely, but predictable. With white, the details are a bit lost. Red is daring and eye-catching, which fits your personality. I KNOW you want red - you said you missed your red set already. You are just waiting on the right comment to fire you up for the task!

Elaine L.

I think the set would look lovely painted turquoise blue or yellow.

Blanche

Ok! I'm a little different! I think you need a change! Red was great but that was your old set! White is ok but have you ever thought about a pale yellow! It's just a thought! I'm sure whatever you pick will be great!

Mandy Baker

What an awesome find! I would paint the inner parts red and keep the edges white...like lace. Who says they have to be all one color or the other?

Love all the swirls in that patio set. Your back yard looks amazing! So peaceful and calm.

Teresa

I love your new patio set. Now normally I would jump all over the "RED"...but in this particular case...I think I would leave them white...I think it actually gives them more character than red would...kind of that romantic cottagey look. I think your pop of red can come from your cool swing...maybe red in the cushions and a RED fabric square with all your lovelies on top...or something that gives a big "pop" of red in the center of the table. Live w/it white for a season...and change it later if you decide you're a true die-hard red fan. I love it, any way you use it...it will be awesome!

Blessings...
Teresa

kim b.

ohh such a difficult thing to decide on... ummm leave it white and add POP!!! w/ of course cherries and a lil black too ... enjoy
kim

Karyl

Well I vote to add red in the cushions -- you can always paint red later if the cushion does not give it enough red! Wow! Are they ever vintage charm!
Karyl :o)

Barbara Hilbrich

Tina, What a find....beautiful!

Bonnie

I'm voting for the white. The set is beautiful the way it is.....but if you decide to go red, that would be great too. everything you do always looks wonderful and just right for Cherry Hill Cottage!
Love,
Bonnie

pattie

Gorgeous!!! I love those chairs!! I would leave it white!

Mom

Craigslist!!! Yay! Just have to say that even the FREE list on Craigslist has more things than you would imagine. You could furnish an entire house with what is free on there. Yesterday I got an almost new Bissell steam cleaner which retails for 128.88 at Walmart for $20, as the lady was moving that evening. Found a free great washing machine. Support your local Craigslist, especially give things away free. I just donated a sofa and two chairs to an arts center. Now, I only have two sofas, and can actually walk through my living room!!! For every thing I bring into the house, am attempting to give away the same number. Let go and let God! Bless all of you sweet people.

Debra Howard

What a great find! I just love your blog. So bright and sunny and cottagey. Great job.
Debbie

Rochelle Gaukel

I am in so much ENVY right now!! Gorgeous set - what are you going to do with your other great red iron patio set we saw in a previous post - want to donate it to MOI?? lol
Enjoy!
Rochelle

Cheryl (Copper's Wife)

What a beautiful set!! I'd say keep it white, but definitely, definitely go with RED cushions.

Debra

OMG love this set so much!!!! Paint it red, yellow, pink, turquoise or any color of the rainbow, it is just too fabulous.

Kimberly C.

You are so fortunate to have found this set!! I like it in the white rustic look.

Ginger&Pickle

Paint them red, and if you don't like it.. you can always paint them white again! They are superb!!!

kris

Love the vintage set. What a great find.

Have a happy day

Kris

Teresa, St. Paul, TX

I don't think you should give it a second thought -- RED it should be! The set is absolutely adorable. As usual, you did good!

Sue

Howdy...Tina
My "2 cents" I like white...but you
could just paint the table RED ???
Cherry print cushions ???

GWEN

I THINK WHITE IS BEAUTIFUL, WITH RED CUSHIONS AND PILLOWS!

Tracy

Oh Tina, I like the white...it does make it more vintage and that red and white polk a dot pillow looks gorgeous with the white!
Anything you come up with will be cute as always :)
Tracy

Cindy

They are so sweet and shabby in white. I vote white! With red pillows and seat cushions. Hugs, ~cindy s~

mishelle

I LOVE those chairs. I would keep them outside. Your table in the kitchen looks perfect there.

The Joyfulhomemaker

RED RED RED... Sure I know white is fresh and Light but READ brings life and lifts any room up

So I vote RED

Linda's Blue Gate

Oh my that is a gorgious set....... what ever you decide will be perfect...... lucky Mika..... good thing you and she have the same taste

Ceekay

Ok...I know you have had a lot of comments and this may seem silly, but what does your heart really want? If you want it red then it should be red...give it a little time, you will know. Just ole Ceekay chiming in!

Timmi Fermanich

I think leave them white and do fluffy cushions in red with white polka dots - that would be darling!!

Timmi

Linda Witte

MMMMM...posted before..but don't see it. Cute set. I love Craigslist! I think white, since you have the red swing. Then add your splash of color with cushions and linens. Have fun decorating!!

Hugs...Linda

Valery

ooooh, OMG tina!- I Have been looking for a set just like this-{that I can afford}- FOR A LONG TIME!! each time I find one like it or similar-just way too expensive! Lucky you,- may I ask what did you pay for it off craiglist? Around here {Reno,NV} & nearby California this little set would sell for over 500$!! I love it in WHITE!-or, what about the greenish color that I think you painted your patio ceiling in?--I have seen the matching little swing to this set you got-it is absolutely adorable!- You just got my Dream victorian Patio table set!-Love, Valery

Linda Witte

You stinker!! I love 'em!! I too shop Craigslist all the time and get great bargains..I will have to show you my very old chandy I bought for $10 and then painted it RED!! It's still on the floor waiting for me to make a chain sleeve so we can put it up.

You know me? I love RED...but also have white for balance..then have fun with cushions and linens! Whatever you decide, it will look FAB!!

Hugs...Linda

Kim

Oh My Gosh! That is THE BEST set ever! I am soooo jealous! I vote for keeping it white!

Carole

Another vote for red.

gloria

Cherry Red of course! No question.

valarie @wwwglimpseofmyworld.blogspot.com

You know I am a fool over Ruby and Regal Red paint.. however, the white is nice, soothing! keep it white this week and paint it next week! Hope you are well... hugs to ya!

vivian

what about red table and keep the chairs white? its a gorgeous set!

Connie

Hi Tina,
That vintage set is awesome and it sure had your name stamped all over it. You find the neatest stuff. I like the set white but I think red would be smashing too.

I have that pillow and I thought of you the minute I found it. I knew you would like it. I have fun in target trying to find something that says "Tina." LOL You always find the neatest stuff there.

You sure scored with that set. Just love it.

Hugs,
Connie

bj

RED, of course !! With cute polka dot cushions...yes, ma'am...it must be red to live at Cherry Hill Cottage...
It sure is a beaut !!
xo bj

Joanna Peck (Jodi)

Hello Tina, I have the exact same in a chair not a rocker. Mine is black (original paint) I LOVE red but I would not paint it red. I think it looks more vintage white. In fact, I decided to paint mine white now!! Your fault! ;0) I would add red check cushions and some red pillows. I have received so many compliments on mine through the years, don't ever part with them! Jodi

Leigh Ann

I say paint it black! LOL! I've been painting all my iron funiture black and I love it. Sorry I'm being difficult!;)
Blessings,
Leigh Ann

Diane ~ The Library Lady

Sure is cute. I'm thinking white, that way you can change the textiles anytime you want - just like I know you will. I'm sure it will be gussied up. I adore your style.

Hi Tina. I've been here so many times before. Now that I have a started a Blog of my own, I felt it was time to leave you a comment ; ) That patio set is the sweetest, what a fantastic find!! and the fact that they are rocking chairs, gosh, that makes them even more special!! Although I love color, especially red, I think I would leave them white, to keep the vintage look and let the cushions and pillows add the color......can't wait to see what you decide!
Jannet

Terri

Tina- Lovely set! Leave it white for the vintage charm- you'll have SO MANY color choices with fabric cushions. Will you be putting a cushion on the back also? ENJOY it whatever you decide.

Lindy

I'd keep it white. It would seem more "vintage-y" that way. Plus, like others have mentioned, you'll be able to choose different cushions to add the splashes of color that you love.

madeline

Vibrant Cherry Hill Cottage Red! with cherry cushions and a big white pot of red geraniums in the middle! That's my vote. Love the set...Madeline

Kathy

Tina, I just love this set!!I think it is perfect white.Great find!!

sharron

Love the white but the RED is so you!!!!
Beautiful find!

Michelle

I have NEVER seen rockers like that. What a great find, Tina! You have the most adorable patio. :)

Stacey

Oh it's adorable! The curly cues on the chairs might show up more if it's red. Whatever you do will be darling. Can't wait ot see.

Kathy

I just love your patio set!! I would leave it white.I would love to have that set!!Great find....Kathy

Peggy

I love the WHITE...It will show off all the creative accessories you come up with - any color!

Pamela

Love it! Paint it RED! I looked and looked at your picture with the white
then saw it should be red.
Love
Pamela

Joni

I vote for red! I think it will make them pop, and of course, cherries are RED! I LOVE IT!
XOXO
Joni

JAN

I agree with the last post. If you paint it red it won't look vintage any longer. Put a red and white checked table cloth on the table and some red and white cushions on the chairs. You have had red patio furniture now try white. ....JAN

seanymph

I would keep it white.......then you can change the cushions to any crazy red print you like :) And if you ever get tired of red, lol ...its much easier to change cushions than repaint.

Erin

I think leave it white. But the possibilities are endless with your creativity with cushions, etc.

Jacqueline Meindersee

Hello Miss Tina,
I love it as is...maybe bring in your red with the cushions! That was a terrific find! Don't you just love Craigs List?
Smiles,
Jacqueline

Nicole

Go Red!!!! It will make it PoP! Also it will look super cute with your checkered rug. Good Luck and I will keep my fingers crossed that you will paint it red!! LOL!! :-) Have a great week. ~Hugs~

Kimberli

I think I would leave them just the way they are...but lots of color in the cushions and pillows.

I'm off to search Craigslist now!!

jaz

i think you should keep them white just as they are. they are perfect. then add a vintage cherry tablecloth with some cherry tablecloth clamps dagling down. and cherry cushions. white background on these the tablecloth and the cushions! or compromise and paint them red and white....candy cane!!! joking...i really think white is the way to go.

Jean Eakin

Tina, I loved your red set, and because I loved it so much last summer we painted a set red for our booths and it sold immediately. Everyone loved the red, so I would for sure paint the new beautiful set red. Have a wonderful Monday.
Jean in Virginia

Kelly~Rose Vine Cottage

I say add your cushions and pillows and accessories and then see if it adds the color your needing, if not then paint them red! They are just so perfect.
Hugs~Kelly

Kimberli

LUCKY!! What a beautiful set!!!

Rachel

This set is adorable as-is! The red would be beautiful but I think it would lose some of the vintage charm. What a wonderful find!

Rachel

Nancy

Hi Tina,
I love them white, only because it makes them look vintage and I think red would make them look too new. I think they would be adorable with a cushion that has your red in it, and then you can enjoy both! Good Luck,

Nanc

Susie

I think as is with tons of vintage cherry tablecloth accessories...L.O.V.E. this set...great find!

Blessings,
Susie

Marissa

I think that they will be beautiful either color once you get cushions.. I love your porch swing with the pillows and how you are allways making new looks with them! Love all your ideas =)

Bluebell

Red! Most definitely!

Wife of Rob

RED, RED, RED, RED--AND RED.

Helen

I think I'd paint them red, and add red and white cushions/pillows. I need to confess that I'm coveting big-time!

Amy

You know, I absolutely LOVE red BUT... I was thinking that white would allow for a more frequent change of the cushions.. just a thought.

Monica

Hi Tina,
I definitely think they should be red. I looked back at your photos of the red patio set and think it would look so stylist in red which also adds a pop to the mat rug on the your deck.

GO RED!

Francine

I think painting it red would make it POP! Also it would add a bit of "funk" and whimsey! By the picture, I can already see it doesn't stand out like your red set did. What a find! Enjoy!!! Francine

Becky from Tennessee

Hi Tina, the set is adorable. I wish I
could shop with you.....you always find
such cute goodies. I love the white but
I know how you like red. Painting them
red would definitely "jazz" them up but
I like the white because I think it just
makes them seem more vintage. You could
always paint one red and see what you
think. (now isn't that an original thought????)
Have a great day!
Becky

That is just the cutest set, I love it the color it is, love it. Amanda
