With summer quickly approaching (can I get an AMEN!) we thought we would share three of our ideabooks that will inspire you to get your backyard into tip-top shape!

1. Outdoor Decor

Who says that your outdoor decor shouldn't reflect your interior style? From stylish upholstery to cute accents and accessories, there are a million ways to spice up your patio. We especially love the look of bold patterns and colors to complement your natural surroundings.

One of our favorite pieces from the Outdoor Decor ideabook is this  Serena & Lily Awning Stripe Chair. Not only is it super-stylish, but it is also slipcovered and it swivels!

We are also slightly obsessed with garden stools! They are the perfect versatile piece for an outdoor oasis. They can seat an extra guest, hold your glass of wine, or just be pretty in a corner with a potted plant on top. This hand-painted darling from Frontgate is a perfect example.

They’re a perfect way to enjoy furnishings without worrying about muddy paws, kitchen spills and kids. These attractive rugs fit the bill for beauty, comfort, function and durability!
