My sister in law recently moved into a new apartment in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. It’s smaller than her last place, but the area is amazing and it has a small outside balcony. All New Yorker’s dream of an apartment with a bit of outdoor space while it’s not a backyard the balcony provides a dose of the outdoors with a great view and a fresh breeze. When she told me about it I knew she needed to get a bistro set to enjoy the space and have her morning coffee out there.
A bistro set is the perfect size for a balcony or a petite backyard and it would also be great for a small front porch area. Here is a round of my favorites:
No. 1 Agora 3 piece bistro set: Love the style of these chairs. I have something similar on my deck so perhaps I’m partial to them. Also love that they are metal and not painted. With my painted chairs I have gotten rust, but with all metal you will be in a much better situation.
No. 2 Meadow Decor bistro set: Ah! Isn’t the pink amazing? It’s also available in green, yellow and red and each color comes with a different design on the seat back. I love that the style is a bit old school, but the pop of color makes it very current.
No. 3 Sol Blue bistro set: This color blue makes me super happy. It also reminds me of something that would be at a chic cafe.
No. 4 Tarno bistro set: Love the mix of the wood and the metal and the $50 price point!!!! Enough said.
No. 5 Charleston bistro set: How adorable are those chairs? Love, love, love the kelly green seat cushions! They totally make it for me. Not a super fan of the table, but I would cover it with a navy and white striped tablecloth and call it a day!
No. 6 Follie bistro set: This is the set I ended up getting my SIL and I love it. I went with the navy version, which is no longer available, but this peacock blue is a beauty as well and currently on sale for $95. Love that both the table and chairs fold closed which makes for easy storage in the winter.
No. 7 Red bistro set: I will admit that I’m not a huge fan of red in design, but I do think it works perfectly in outdoor spaces. It always looks great with concrete, pavers, etc.
No. 8 Bamboo bistro set: I love a dose of bamboo. It always reminds me of Hollywood Regency or Palm Beach design and the fact that this set came in orange I was immediately sold! Also available in a rainbow of other colors.

My living room is one of the rooms that evolved drastically from when we first moved one. Originally I painted the walls chocolate brown and did accents of white, blue and orange. That lasted maybe 2 years.
Our dining room sat empty for months. Okay maybe it was empty for just a handful of weeks and then we couldn’t take it anymore and put in a folding table and plastic outdoor chairs, but in my mind that was still empty.
On the main floor of our house we have a Florida room. Being that it’s a Florida room it is a considered a 3 season room, because there is no heat in the room. The previous owners used it as an indoor patio with outdoor furniture and it looked like this when we moved in.
Fall is the perfect season to host an outdoor movie night in your backyard! It’s that time of year when outdoor furniture is still outside and it gets dark earlier than the summer which means your little kiddos can enjoy the movie night as well. It’s so nice to transform your backyard with cozy blankets, […]
Can you believe it’s already November? Before we know it Thanks No. 1 Modern bar cart with patterned sides that looks great as is, but would also look amazing painted a pop of color! Plus it’s only $157. No. 2 This lucite bar cart is a personal favorite of mine. Look at those chic lines! […]
For the longest time our backyard was mainly just grass and a little small area where we laid down some pavers so that we could set out a little plastic table/chairs during the summer. Not exactly ideal for entertaining. For the past couple of years we have wanted to build a deck and enjoy the […]
