Whether it’s actually beginning to feel like spring or the calendar just says it should be, it’s time to start thinking about moving the party outside! Grab your iced tea (or G&T), pull up a chair and cross your fingers for sunny weather.

I long for the days when we can eat outside on a deck, a patio or simply just in the yard. Sadly, apartment living (no balcony) limits my dream. Nothing tastes better than a glass of crisp white wine on a sunny day outside. Some day! In the meantime, I'll just add to my dream with perfect outdoor seating in all natural wood — perfect for sun bathing. Check out a few of my favorites, below.

Last week I rounded up a selection of porch swings perfect for lazy summer days. Porch swings aren't always practical - you need a very secure spot to suspend one. That's where outdoor gliders come in!

Earlier this week I looked at online sources for gardening supplies which, if you don't have a car or you're pressed for time, are great for getting your garden gear. But if your idea of a relaxing Spring Sunday is strolling through a garden center, breathing in the scent of wet soil and planning your own little outdoor space, this list is for you.  

Bonnie's porch was a great space with a lot of potential — it just hadn't quite lived up to it yet. See what she did to transform this screened back porch into a party-ready indoor/outdoor room. 

Take any three greens and combine them. Go ahead, give it a try, we'll wait. Okay, did you try it? Looks awesome, doesn't it? This trick works with any hue, really, but it's especially good for green. And with green already being found outdoors in abundance, using green decor outside can look fabulous.

One of my favorite memories of the summers of my youth was sitting on my best friend's porch swing, lazing away the day while gently rocking back and forth. As an adult, I don't have a front porch but if I did, I would definitely be swinging in one of these.
