Is your patio ready?  It’s about time to swing open those doors and start enjoying our outdoor areas.

"When furnishing an outdoor space, think comfort, function and style, just as you would when designing indoors," says HGTV.com. Knowing what you want style-wise will make it easier to focus on comfort.

Lounge chairs are inviting, relaxed additions to your patio.  They’re casual, convenient for lying around, and can add a creative design statement beyond a traditional patio table and chairs.

400 recycled milk jugs?

I love these Emmet Lounge Chairs from Room & Board.  Here’s why...they are 100% recycled.  Each chair is made from the equivalent of 400 recycled milk jugs!  Now that is green outdoor living.

Although modern, don't they evoke memories of a classic Adirondack chair, the symbol of American relaxation?

Whether you repaint, repurpose, or just re-cover the cushions on your outdoor furniture maybe you can add a ‘green’ touch to your outdoor living this summer.  Enjoy!
