SF Flickr Finds: Dityfleur's Deck

Dityfleur's photos of her deck were in our Flickr account. She writes, the chairs are from DWR... i got them last year on sale. i don't think they carry them anymore, but they also came in red & an a...

Koko's Pop Plastic Floormats

Just because a mat is destined for outdoor use doesn't mean that it has to be bland and trashy. And conversely, just because something is made of plastic doesn't mean it has to be garish. Koko's Po...

Emperor Gong from VivaTerra

We hope that it's not just the novelty of having a gong on one's premises that makes this infinitely appealing to us. Scratch that, it is. But what a dramatic alternative to wind chimes, indeed....

Eva Solo Rain Gauge

While it may be obvious to us when it has been raining, a rain gauge might be handy to back up our tales of woe to our out-of-town friends. But more seriously, the device would help us balance the ...

Mirrored Spheres and Stones for the Garden

There's something about finding a shiny object in an unexpected place, and a mirrored sphere strategically nestled in flower beds and landscaping can add geometric interest while making the garden l...

Look!: Our Childhood Backyard All Grown Up

Growing up, our family garden was an ever-changing space. We often had a salad picked straight from the garden but the backyard morphed as our family's needs changed. We had a full vegetable garden ...

Sun Shades from Inmod

It's nice to know that options for outdoor shading go beyond the standard canvas tent. Though it may not look as effective as a more traditional umbrella shape, the three discs of Inmod's Tri Corale ...

Byer Pangean Glider Chair from REI

A couple of weeks ago we posted a question from Portia, a reader who was looking for lounge chairs akin to those in Hyde Park, London. Since then we've had our radar up, and spotted this version, at...

Light Strings on Sale at Smith & Hawken

It's kind of the silver lining on a wet grey cloud: a lot of summer furnishings are going on sale right as our summer gets started. Like these bird-and-bee themed light strings from Smith & Hawken (...

Craigslist Farm & Garden

Most of us probably tend to forget that there are categories other than "Furniture" and "Collectibles" on Craigslist. Have you checked out "Farm & Garden"? In just a few minutes we found......

Starburst Fire Pit at VivaTerra

Fire pits have caught our attention this year, first because we're planning on doing something with our little brick patio, and second because we can't count on heat from the sun. This one from Viva...

Whim by Cynthia Rowley Folding Beach Chairs

Sometimes you don't need a full patio set - just a chair or two so you can escape the heat of the house and hang out in a shady part of the yard. These folding chairs from Cynthia Rowley are easy to t...

Inspiration: Outdoor Seating at Hotel du Nord

We've had this great wood seating at Denmark's Hotel du Nord bookmarked ever since we spotted it. We really love its simplicity....

Dining Set from Plain Air

Powder-coating is our favorite finish for a blast of high-gloss color, and for exterior furniture it can't be beat. That's why we like this dining set - the powder-coated base can be customized to the...

SF Good Questions: Where Can I Find Hyde Park Lounge Chairs?

AT:SF, I was in London last week and sat down on one of these chairs in Hyde Park and it was the most comfortable chair I think I've ever sat in......

Flipp

We were reading SF Weekly's "Best of 2008" last week and noticed that flipp had been named the best interior design store. Startled, we wondered why we hadn't heard of it. Shoot forward ten minutes ...

Andros Bistro Chair from Pottery Barn

We love the lines on these chairs - the proportions are almost a little odd, but the slightly top heavy look is somehow really charming. ...

Sydney Double Lounger at West Elm

With things continuing to heat up this weekend in the Bay Area, the Sydney Double Lounger is looking pretty good. Lying on opposite sides of the lounger, you and a friend can see and talk with each ot...

Table in a Bag from Crate and Barrel

Picnicking goes to a whole new level. With Crate and Barrel's "table in a bag" there's no longer a need to eat on the ground. The thing looks pretty cool - a collapsible, rollable table that assemble...

Paisley Outdoor Mat from West Elm

We have a sliver of a balcony that we've really only used for hanging clothes out to dry and trying our gardening luck. We'd like to make it a place where one (and we mean that literally - there's no ...

Lily Pad Falling Water Fountain

We can say, with absolute conviction, that we've never been intrigued by a backyard water feature until today. We think it's the popping blue color and thin, unfussy tiers of this one that have suc...

Best Public Roof Terraces in the Bay Area?

Recently we were at the Dwell HQ and somehow managed to stumbled upon their jaw-dropping roof terrace (show above...and after the jump!). We love the modular floor tiles and the brushed metal chairs....

Personal Outdoor Dwelling System

Summer always makes us want to spend as much time as possible outdoors, but we're definitely part of the porch-and-deck crowd as opposed to the hiking-and-camping type. Another option for that great m...

Enamel Thermometers from Basic French

Whenever the weather gets really hot we always wish we had an outdoor thermometer, so that instead of just thinking it feels like 90 degrees we can actually confirm our guesses. These enamel thermomet...

Eva Solo's Outdoor Oil Lamp

Billed as a modern alternative to the tiki torch, there's definitely something beautiful about the clean lines of Eva Solo's Outdoor Oil Lamp. But there's also something about it that makes us nervous...
