Our new bistro table.

We’ve got some new outdoor furniture at Casa Lagarto.

We still don’t have very much indoor furniture, but, hey!  A sale.

I’ve had my eye on this table and chairs for more than two years.  Finally, it went on sale just at the point I was feeling temporarily solvent.  (It’s like a perfect storm in reverse.  When everything lines up so you feel like you really can buy something.)

We got it at Kirkland’s.  You can see it here.  I try not to go to Kirkland’s very often, because they have all kinds of things I like.  Mostly, what I drool over at Kirkland’s are the decorative objects.  And I feel that when the house still needs a bathtub and some carpet and other large items one should eschew decorative wall plaques.

So, I go to Kirkland’s, and I talk myself out of things all the time.

This time, however, I didn’t talk myself out of it.

We bought it.

Cast iron.  It’s not going to blow away in any of the strong breezes that come off the creek.

The perfect size for an area of the patio that looks like it was made for some sort of table and chairs.

A sale price.

And now the outside of the house looks a little more finished.

There’s a long way to go, but I’m thankful for this step in the right direction.
