Let’s Get Ready For Spring With Patio Living! ~ Giveaway!

*The following giveaway is open to Canada and the United States

Have you looked out your back windows lately?  What do you see?  A little snow, a few bare branches, perhaps a sad, sad empty space on your back deck crying out for spring to arrive?  Me too.  Well there is good news!  Spring, sunshine, patio parties and the excuse to pretty up that backyard area is truly just around the corner.  Even better, just after Spring, the arrival of glorious summer!  Long hazy days around the pool,  backyard BBQs and countless dinners under the stars.  Can you feel it?  Sigh….

Looking at pictures like these help get you into that Spring fever feeling!

When Spring arrives this year, I’ll be ready.  How?  I’m doing a little on-line shopping and preparation early this year, all thanks to a little help from Patio Living, a fabulous place to find quality outdoor patio furniture.

Are you looking to take your backyard area from a boring space to a backyard oasis?  To transform your bland pool area into a poolside retreat?  Perhaps you just want to do a few little thing s to spruce things up and don’t know where to start!

Here are just a few of my favourite selections from Patio Living, ways to add in a touch of pizzaz, a little colour, some new interest to your backyard space without breaking the bank.

My first choice; the Treasure Garden Market Aluminum Umbrella.

Available in five different finishes and an inspiring number of colour choices, not only will this 9 foot wide umbrella provide some much needed shade on those hot sunny days, but it will bring substance and style to any backyard space.  On sale now at 30% off you can order one of these little beauties and be prepared for your first warm days of the season!

My second choice; a little something fabulous for the garden! The Oakland Living Cast Iron Garden Decorative Bench with Angel design is the perfect addition to any winding path area, patio or garden.

Creating a perfect seating area to enjoy a coffee in the morning or that afternoon cocktail!  Myself, I can’t resist the classic wrought iron look.  The benches sold at Patio Living would also make creative and thoughtful Mother’s Day gifts!

A third way to spruce up a backyard space? Add a new element or texture to your space.  This can be done with a few bright cushions, or the addition of some wood.  The simplicity and functionality of the Tortuga Outdoor Jakarta Teak Serving Tray placed on a cast iron and glass table can help warm up the look of a back patio.

Couple this with the Vifah Eucalyptus Wood Three-Layer Plant Stand and you have a nice cohesive look that might even inspire one to have cocktails next to the gorgeous plants you grew yourself!

This Planter Stand is is made from premium grade ‘Eucalyptus Grandis’ hardwood, grown in 100% well managed forests in Brazil.  You can view the entire VIFAH EUCALYPTUS COLLECTION on the Patio Living.com site.
