Yes, this is your grandmother's porch glider
Summer's here, and if that turns your thoughts to childhoods spent on the front porch, you'll find inspiration for an equally memorable outdoor room by browsing the 40s- and 50s-era steel porch furniture at vintageglider.com. Once you choose a piece, the Pelham, North Carolina, company will repair and repaint it any color you want at a price ranging from $150 to $500. Or, ask them to leave the gently rusted finish intact, if you prefer shabby chic charm. Whatever you pick, since it's bound to be a conversation starter at barbecues, call up and get an earful of history from the owners regarding the perforated pie-crust and basketweave patterns the chairs and two- and three-seaters are known to sport, too. Some patterns are more desirable, like the pie-crust version shown here, which bumps up the price.
