About this list:

It's that time of year where all I want to do is spend time with friends and family on the patio after work. These are some items that I think would help build the perfect hideway.

Adams style wrought iron garden bench

First to recommend

Description

The nights are much lighter now and the summer breeze is in full swing. It's nice to spend time out on the patio with friends and family and maybe a pitcher of sangria. It's the lazy time of summer. I've always like the more structured outdoor patios and a bench like this wrought iron garden bench would fit wonderfully in my backyard, it's classic and yet quirky.

Trellis Birdfeeder

First to recommend

Description

I adore the idea of this trellis birdfeeder, it lets you climb vines up it so that it looks like birds are feeding from your flowers. And it lets you have both hummingbirds take nectar from your climbing flower and other birds take seed from the cattails of mesh. Perfect for a relaxing patio experience.

Cedar Garden Arbor (with optional bench)

First to recommend

Description

Something else that is ripe for climbing vines is a trellis like this one with a bench. Think about it, later in the summer you can relax under a canopy of blooming flowers. Nothing sounds more pastoral than that to me (at least this morning!).

Nantucket Trellis Pergola Arbor w/ Garden Bench Seat

First to recommend

Description

One of my dream houses is a Colonial or salt box style house. If I do get one of those houses I'd love to have a little English garden in the backyard. A white trellis and bench like this one would be perfect for sitting and relaxing on a warm summer's night.

SoJoe Steel Fire Pit (Willow Crane)

First to recommend

Description

I love this firepit! There is something so fun about sitting and talking around a firepit whether it be summer or winter. Plus this firepit has a grill you can cook on, or a spark screen so there won't be any melted shoes (happened not to me, but one of my friends last time we spent time at a firepit).

Moon and Stars Firepit

First to recommend

Description

This fire pit feels vaguely medieval (don't those moon and stars look straight from the sorcerer's apprentice?) and more than that looks like it's ready to see some use. Fire, once the gift of Prometheus is now a gift of fellowship you can enjoy with your friends.

3-In-1 Copper Chiminea Fire Pit

First to recommend

Description

This is one of the most flexible fire pits I've seen it can be a grill, a fire pit and a chiminea. Which means you can cook food, grill marshmallows or just have a roaring fire. Plus it'll eventually turn blue green as your time of summer turns into years.

Orchid Cast Aluminum Chiminea (Charcoal)

First to recommend

Description

As of late I've been loving chiminea's they had add another dimension to any outdoor space (whether you use it or not). This cast aluminum one lets you see the fire as it crackles away. But secretly one of my favorite things about it has nothing to do with design and everything to do with me being wimpy...it's far easier to move than cast iron (as it's much lighter!).

Lawn And Patio Glider Bench

First to recommend

Description

I remember when I was a little girl we went to a garden party and I spent the whole time on this bench that moved back and forth as I was the only child there and it was the closest thing to a swing I could find. I still like gliders to this day and have decided that they make a good addition to a patio as you never know when you might have a little one tag along without any other little ones to keep them company.

Chippendale Bench Poly Wood Patio Furniture

First to recommend

Description

This bench looks like it would fit in a quiet spot in the garden. One day I'd like to have enough land to make a labyrinth and dotted throughout that labyrinth would be little isle of ease. A bench like this tucked in a pretty little garden would be perfect for an isle of ease.
