We don’t all have sprawling back yards to spread out our summertime furniture but thanks to Home Infatuation, all we need is a corner. This 43.5″ orb has secretly stowed away 4 chairs and a table! Amazing, right?!  The durable resin is available in a brown or gray and there’s a choice of sand or aqua fabric for the cushions. It looks a bit space age but its a cool concept. Stackable and compact, the two favorite words of a small space dweller!

Pull up an a outdoor chair…

With Memorial Day upon us, all I can hear in my head is Andy Williams singing “It’s the most wonderful time of the year”! No, not Christmas or Winter… but the start of Summer! For me this really is the Most Wonderful time of the year, when I can finally shed three layers of clothing and feel the sun on my skin! Happiness has arrived. It’s time to take advantage by living outdoors. Whether you have a glorious rolling green backyard or a tiny piece of asphalt to call your own, you can absolutely make the most of it.

First, decide what is most important to you. Do you want to have a place to lounge out on a chaise or is having people over for a dinner party the most important factor? In this post, I’ll present some wonderful chair options for creating that outdoor living room.

First is the fabulous Rex chair from CB2. It is available in two sizes, lounge and standard. For a lounge chair which sits lower to the ground and is a bit wider, the price is inexpensive. I can just picture us now….a drink in one hand and legs hanging over the side. The poppy, which is EVERYWHERE right now, is my favorite color. Talk about a sunset!

I absolutely love the vintage feel of Atuto’s ring chairs. Their style is sweet and full of interest. The gentle, delicate klismos back made of sturdy iron creates a nice contradiction. I could see them used in a little garden in the summer and then pulled inside as an accent chair in the cooler months. Lovely!
