May Day!

It's finally May! Now is the time to start getting your backyard in shape, to be ready for summer BBQs.

We love this fringed umbrella for a bit of foreign-inspired glam on the patio. 

The string lights keep the party going late into the night. The propane fire pit is 

a striking focal point, perfect for keeping off the chill until summer really arrives. 

We love lanterns for a bit of romance, placed all over the garden. A couple flamingos 

 bring a touch of humor to the backyard. We would fill the planters with 

citrus and olive trees and place them everywhere. An outdoor rug helps define a 

seating area, and is comfortable on bare feet. We love these modern airy chairs, 

all of the comfort of a lounge chair, but they take up much less space. 

What is on your must-have outdoor list?
