Blame it on the lazy hazy days or those long party nights followed by the early morning reality of work, but summer and lounging definitely go together. And nothing feels quite as leisurely and luxurious as taking the lounging outdoors. I'm a hammock girl myself, but all of these restful beauties are looking pretty appealing at the moment. What's your favorite?

Speaking from experience, backyards can easily turn into as worrisome spots as any indoor space. There will always be one more weed to pull, flower to plant, or one more paver to put down. But having a spot that invites relaxation can instantly turn your outdoor space into a destination.

And if you don't happen to be blessed with a little outdoor spot to call your own, remember, you can always bring the outdoors in.

So, hammock, porch swing, adoriandeck chair, floating bed, what's your pick?
