:: Outdoor Coastal Furniture ::

Tuesday Tips

When the sun is out there is a good chance you want to be outside. One very important part of enjoying being outside is having a comfortable place to sit and enjoy it. Cue the outdoor seating and furniture.

When looking for outdoor furniture you need to look at what kind of material it’s made out of. This furniture is going to spend the entirety of it’s life outside. It needs to be able to take on the elements. That means we’re talking metals, cedars and teak. Other woods work as well such as oaks and eucalyptus, but they aren’t as durable. We’re looking to get the most out of our outdoor furniture. We don’t want it to rot or fall apart after a couple seasons. That means shop for quality pieces. If it’s inexpensive and cheap there’s probably a reason for that. Save and invest in quality furniture for you and your family to enjoy when the sun is shining!

:: 3 Quick Tips To Enjoy The Great Outdoors ::

Tuesday Tips

It’s so beautiful outside today we had no choice but to post about how to take advantage of this weather. It feels like summer’s already come here in Southern California. We apologize for all our friends and family that are covered in snow, you really should be out here! For those of you that are here, you better be outside reading this on your laptop! Unless you’re here for a few tips on how to enjoy the great outdoors. Let’s get this started.

1. Get outdoor furniture.

First, and foremost, you’re going to need somewhere to sit and gather. This will give you a space to be outside and enjoy the weather. It can be a full outdoor furniture set or just a pair of chairs. It all depends how many people will be out there enjoying the day with you. The more the merrier in our opinion!

2. Get an outdoor rug. 

Anchor that space and make it clear where we’re suppose to be! More importantly, give those toesies something cool to walk on! That cement gets hot! My toes aren’t one place I’m trying to get a burn.

3. Get your garden on.

Give yourself something to do while you’re outside! It’s a great way to work on your tan, be active and possibly grow something edible. If you have a green thumb and space, why not start up a fun garden? If your gardening skill or space is limited you can always opt for a smaller, easier garden set up, like Michelle’s pictured above.

Tuesday’s Tips

Take advantage of that outdoor space that’s been given to you! Whether it’s in the front or back of your home you can maximize your home and space with proper design. Do you have a deck, patio, porch, or free space in the backyard? Whatever it may be it’s time to use it. First things first you need some type of furniture. This creates a place for everyone to gather around. Next is a table of some sort. This way if you want to bring food or drinks out you can. Plus now you have something to decorate and a place for decor. Now it’s time for the rug. A nice indoor/outdoor or just outdoor rug will really define the space. It will turn your random furniture sitting outside into a real outdoor space waiting to be used. Bring on the accessories! Time to really make your outdoor space look like another room in the house. The best and obvious choice for outdoor decor – candles. They are a must have for any outdoor space. The rest is up to you. Want to bring out some fun glass jugs or coasters? Do it! Hopefully it will cool down around here and we can actually go outside and enjoy it for a change. Is it fall yet?
