It is such an over the top statement, I am trying to decide weather I love it I hate it.  What do you think?  Whichever, I think it certainly has me thinking about what type of garden I might put this in?  Perhaps take a Cottage Garden right over the top?  Or maybe it could be the one focal point of color and whimsy in something a lot more austere and modern.   Or maybe it could find a permanent home in the private quarters of P.T. Barnum?   How you use these pieces?  Would you use these?  Love ’em or hate ’em?

    Don’t like. The patterns are so overwhelming that they are hard on my eyes. Also I don’t think something like that would weather the outdoors well at all.
    One piece alone, (maybe the little stool) in a whimsical indoor or covered area might be interesting. But all of those together I just find overwhelming.

    I think they are fun peices,something over the top and fun…..in the right garden!

  3. LOVE LOVE LOVE this!!

  4. OMGoodness these are delish! I took one look and knew they would be Mc furnishings. I love a whimsical garden. Gardening to me is fun and love and sunshine and contentment and well those are Garden Thrones. Pure joy!

    “Do it big or stay at home” time….it’s big in many ways! As my (then) 4-year-old son used to say, “Two Fumbs Up”!

  6. Jenn says:

    Love the whimsy. The color/texture combination is a bit overwhelming to me. But I love the concept!

  7. Private says:

    I love them with the smooth green backdrop. I would not love them in a cottage (multi-floral busy, many colors) scene.

    I would use them (if I had acreage) in a back pasture, where you see a simple white outbuilding, but when you get there, you can throw open one side and instant party! It looks like play house or fantasy furniture. It wants an escapist setting.

    I wonder if I like them more in March than I would in a more colorful month.
