Fun in the Sun!

The weather is finally heating up and it's time to prep your backyards for some summer fun! Add some excitement to a dull outdoor setting by using bright colored umbrellas and patterned outdoor rugs. If you have a seating area, pop some colorful outdoor pillows onto the chairs. When I think of summer - bright colors such as turquoise, lime green, orange, and magenta come to mind. I found this multi-color rug from overstock.com. The wave pattern breaks away from the over-done ikat pattern. I love a great ikat pattern but I think it's time to switch it up!

While designing my dream backyard, I stumbled across the Baleares Bronze Modular Lounger from Frontgate. I am obsessed with this modular daybed that can be seperated into a sofa, cocktail ottoman, and two extra seats. I love the versality with this piece.

When it comes to shopping, I love searching for unique shapes and pieces. I love furniture that makes a statement as if it is a piece of art. While shopping at West Elm, I saw the Montauk nest chair. The shape is interesting and hugs your body.  I also saw the pebble side table.  I love the organic shape and texture.
