Maybe. But if you looked and can't find it, I'd recommend just choosing the pieces you want without regard to color, and painting them. It's one of the easier projects to do. http://www.diynetwork.com/how-to/make-and-decorate/decorating/how-to-clean-and-paint-a-wicker-chair

I was told that Wicker can't be painted. Because it won't adhere to it because of the elements of outside. I was told it will peel off in a year or less. Thanks qam999. I will go to the site that you suggested.

What is it with Spammers!? One hit Building today, which rarely happens. Geez, I know times are tough, but.... Amysrq, have you seen the ones that are pointed on top, with a lift/hinge for storing treats/bowls, etc? Grandin Road always has them in their catalog. I'm sure you can find it elsewhere on the internet and probably in the lighter color. fyi, I love the arch but was hesitant about purchasing because I really wanted the darker brown. It doesn't come in dark. But it looks great in the house. You're welcome. Here is a link that might be useful: Grandin Road -

Just a can of spray paint. I had a white wicker rocking chair and spray painted it black about 6 or 7 years ago. Still going strong! Easiest thing in the world. Some of the crafts stores like Michael's have incredible color selections for spray paint. Lynn

Would you consider repainting the wicker chairs? I think painting them in a bright green or coral would be stunning with your colors on the house, and make them an accent The problem with the cushions is that from any distance, like the street, they won't really show - the color and pattern will be mostly flat on the chair. Your new colors on the house sound very pretty!

Not sure about this color for my wicker??

Hmmm... I actually like the color, but I see what you mean about how it looks up against your particular house color. It goes well with the porch floor, but not so much with the house. It's not so much that it clashes, but that it just blends in rather than contrasting. I guess the only solution is to paint the house! :-) You could also go really bold and paint the wicker a darker color, although I know that's not everyone's cup of tea. I would probably live with it for now, and play around with accessories. Can you add some more potted trees? How about a rug? Maybe throw pillows? I think if you brought in more color to create contrast, it could all be pulled together without changing the house OR the wicker.

Jan, you are my Angel in disguise. Truly a life saver!!! I researched the site that you recommended . I found exactly what my daughter wants. Lloyd Flanders has a retail store near me. They do make a pretty gray wicker glider Loveseat and also the chairs. I do not know how to thank you enough. I had searched and searched to no avail until you came to my aid. I am going to have one happy daughter when she receives her gift. Again, I do appreciate your help. God Bless You!!

I don't know if you ever purchased the Lloyd Flanders furniture. It is pricey. But I can vouch for its longevity and beautiful design. I have had two LF side chairs and matching round table for at least 20-25 years. This furniture does best in a sheltered location e.g., a porch or covered deck where it doesn't get a lot of rain or other wet weather. Mine has been completely out in the elements and eventually the fibers weaken and begin to break. I doubt this would have happened in a sheltered location. I still think very highly of this brand of furniture.

Thank you Jay. I bought 2 gliders for my daughter. I will tell her what you said. They are on each side of her front door on her porch. So beautiful are the words to describe them. I know they will last her for years and years to come. Lloyd Flanders furniture is superb to say the least. <3
