Garden stools have gotten pretty popular over the last few years, and they don't seem to be losing their cool. Many, though, are absurdly overpriced. I don't want you to fall into that trap because I have also seen plenty of affordable ones.

You don't need to paint your house a neon hue or put a middle finger sculpture outside your home to make heads turn. Set a glamorous, cerise bench like the Charleston Gardens Harwick Bench ($1,195) on your front porch, and your neighbors will be drooling with envy. If you'd prefer this elegant Chinoiserie-style seat in a more subtle color, the cast aluminum bench is also available in a powder-coated white or black finish.

Z Gallerie's Soho Pavilion ($399.99, reduced from $599.99) is water- and fade-resistant, so you can host a chic party outdoors rain or shine. But, would you blame me for wanting to set up this chic tent indoors? I'm imagining a cross between Nick Olsen's tented workspace and interior designer Marjorie Skouras's oversize indoor topiary bedroom.

If you're a fan of James Perse's cozy tees and casual California aesthetic, you'll be pleased to hear that the contemporary knitwear designer has extended his brand to interiors. He has debuted four collections of furniture for indoors and out to give your home that same simple and timeless style as your wardrobe. I love the no-frills, refined-yet-relaxed vibe of the Sonoma Sofa (inquire for price) from his upholstered NorCal Collection.

The rusty blue side table beside Maya Rudolph's character in Away We Go looks like it has seen better days. But I do love its retro charm. It brings character to a little corner of a lush garden beside a comfortable bench.

As much as we may have been told not to, sometimes it's hard to avoid basking in the warmth of a sunny day. Whether you do it on a blanket in your backyard or from a comfy lounge chair, many of us still catch some rays around our homes. Source

If you're going to invest in outdoor furniture this Summer, you want to know that it will withstand the elements. Choosing furniture made from teak is always a good idea, since this wood is highly resistant to the wear and tear of sun and rain. In addition, look for outdoor fabrics from Sunbrella.

Summer means that we're often on the go: catching the best sunshine, the best waves, or the nearest picnic in the park. That means that we need on-the-go furniture to keep up with our Summer lifestyles. One of the best pieces of furniture you can invest in for easy seasonal living is an outdoor folding chair.

We've been talking a little bit about outdoor furniture lately, now that Summer is approaching. I've been grappling with whether or not I like truly "decorated" outdoor spaces. Seeing the outdoor lounge of Kirsten Dunst's Nichol Canyons home, which is on the market, I'm convinced.
