The look: Rustic retreat (shown above)
Find a new use for a seen-better-days desk and utilitarian farmhouse chairs by developing an impromptu seating area during a break in the action of a late afternoon game of croquet, badminton or boules. The distressed desk adds interest and becomes a focal point between the pastel-painted farmhouse chairs, and delicate embroidered cushions offer a temptation that's too hard to resist. Together, the shabby chic arrangement creates a serene sense of Victorian days gone by, as well as making a perfect spot to indulge in a refreshing glass of iced tea.
