backyard living

it's that time of year, the yard is starting to look good, the sun is out and the neighbors are firing up the grill.  sometimes you just need a couple new items to jumpstart your own little back-yard oasis.  i tend to go for a light-colored chaise that won't fade or get too hot, and then throw in some little accents like tinted lanterns, bright cushions and a fun umbrella.

items: chaise; umbrella; lanterns; pillow; chair; dinnerware; throw
