I was onlne paging through the March, 2012 Ballard Designs catalog and stopped at page 5! Gosh, I didn't even get into it! Saw this buffet or library table that was being used as a bar and said to myself "Self, that is tres cool!"
Here's the inspiration image (I'm not sure the link will work correctly). Catalog link, then click to page 5.
The elements I singled out are:
(1) The table: Fairmount Console, 32 1-2" high x 65 1-4" long x 14" deep: $899. Hardwood, made in Italy. Worn black or distressed white over gray.
(2) The "Garden Seatl": 18" tall x 10 1-2" width, available in lime, white, or yellow, $139.

Sooooo, darlings, while I putter my way to slowly, ever so slowly, removing the wallpaper around the bottom half of the family room and plan my strategy for getting both the front yard and back yard grass cut and trimmed tomorrow in-between rain bursts and possible thunderstorms, this is my latest "the look for less" challenge.
