There is still snow on the ground, but before too long spring will be here, so this is the perfect time to start thinking about your outdoor furniture!
When I go to Paris I love relaxing on the chairs in the Tuileries, around the fountain…so comfortable! They have these dark green metal chairs scattered around and when you sit in one you can lean back so you’re relaxing in a reclining position…I’m sure you can imagine how hard it is to nab one of them on a beautiful spring day!
I actually was able to locate the vendor who makes them (Fermob), and they come in a rainbow of colors. I’m a fan of dark green and black, but these chairs would look great in any color and the best part is that you can use them as single, stand alone pieces or in little groupings.

Besides metal, I love teak outdoor furniture because it’s durable and when left untreated, turns to a beautiful silvery-gray.

However, if there is one trend to note with outdoor furniture, it has to be the amount of color and fun, bright patterns in everything from cushions to umbrellas.
Here are some nice eBay finds:
