About this list:

The big events (backyard barbecues, family picnics, block parties) and the small joys (star-gazing, catching fireflies, roasting marshmallows) of warmer weather are now within reach. Living in the suburbs need not be the dull affair some consider it to be . . . if you have the right attitude, good food and fun supplies.

Qualifications:

Former city slicker now living deep in the heart of suburbia

Orvis: Reclaimed Wood Adirondack Chair

First to recommend

Description

When it comes to outdoor furniture, I always think it becomes more handsome as it weathers. Well, with this chair, you need not wait for that to happen as it is constructed from all ready well-worn (and hopefully well-loved) wood. Each one, of course, will be unique. And, unlike most Adirondack furniture, these chairs fold for storage or relocation.

Skate Study House: Jet Set Lounge Chair

First to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

This lithe lounge chair is built using eight skate decks, each wrapped in neoprene (the stuff of wet suits). Much sturdier and sexier than a hammock, this chair is well-suited for outdoor use. You may want more than one.

Wisteria: Warm Woven Rattan Arm Chair

A handsome accompaniment to both the table and side chair, this arm chair almost appears to be beckoning you to sit in it and relax. You could mix and match an entire set of the arm and side chairs with a longer table for hosting an outdoor dinner party.

Wisteria: Woven Rattan Leaf Chair

First to recommend

3 people recommended this item

Description

Imagine how royal you will feel relaxing in one of these sublime chairs ! The shape and colors remind me of India, but this design is actually a replica of a similar chair made in France during the Jazz Era. You may even want to find a place for it inside once the warmer weather comes to an end in, oh, just about 13 weeks or so.
