Cheers to the Golden Girls

July 1st, 2009

While watching an episode of The Golden Girls [which we absolutely adore and can't get enough of these hilarious ladies] – we noticed how chic, even then, their dining and patio furniture was.  We immediately thought of a recent picture of an outdoor Chinese Chippendale chaise featured in May’s Elle Decor, which prompted us to do some searching for similarly styled furnishings.  These are our favorites!
