Clam Chair
Argh, I'm so over winter already. In fact I think my hatred of cold may have hit a new level today when I actually put a hand warmer in my pocket before leaving for work. While mother nature continues to deliver up cold weather and snow storms, I like to daydream of warm days on the patio.
Yesterday I came across this gorgeous Clam Chair on The Potted Store. After a little bit of digging around, it sounds like they were originally designed by John B Salterini. The originals can be quite expensive, but these new ones seem very reasonable at $295 each. They are available in orange, a lovely pale green and brown.
A bit like a swing for your plants, these hanging A-frame planters from Poketo are surely unique. Made from Ipe wood and "deadstock military cotton strapping", these planters would look great indoors or out (if you're luck enough to have a porch)!
You can tell the weather is getting warmer when Capree and I start blogging about watering cans again. The 
It seems like the weather if finally starting to turn warm here in Utah. This summer I'm looking forward to a couple of lazy nights sitting around a fire pit doing absolutely nothing. I think this 
It's gardening time soon, friends! Around this time of year, I'm always keeping my eyes peeled for cool modern (and affordable) garden tools and accessories. This watering can from Sprout Home fits the bill perfectly. Made from polystyrene and completely recyclable, this glossy little number also holds 2 liters of water. Not too shabby. Available in yellow or green.
Talk about a garden party! Crate&Barrel adds a nice modern twist to the classic outdoor stacking chair with this colorful collection. A few in white, aqua, and yellow would definitely cheer up my sad little backyard. Which color or color combo would you spring for?
It's been a particularly wet Spring here, a fact that would surely be made more bearable (or at least more colorful) with one of these Marimekko umbrellas! These bold, wet-weather accessories are available through Crate and Barrel in two color schemes: yellow and orange.
Sooo... I guess it's like a bean bag for your yard? That's kind of cool. At the very least, the Tie-One-On Sectional from CB2 is probably super comfy (not to mention durable - it's made from heavy-gauge, water-resistant polyester with PVC lining). Oh, and it's modular: you simply tie the different pieces together in whatever configuration you want. While I love the lifeguard-red color, I'm not entirely sold on the slouchy/lounge-y look. What do you guys think?
Continuing with my recent warm weather obsession of sitting outside around a nice fire...
There is just something about sitting outside around a fire that I love. I've been looking for a good outdoor modern fire pit for a while, and these outdoor fireplace by

These hanging ceramic pods are designed specifically for air plants (Tillandsia) and come ready to hang with an all-natural hemp cord. Glazed inside and out in a bright, glossy white, each pod is handmade by ceramicist Mike McDowell of MudPuppy Ceramics. They're sold individually, but a cluster of pods would look pretty cool hanging outside on the porch or patio!
Maybe I'm going out on a limb here, but I love metal hurricanes. The flickering light of a candle inside is something that no light bulb can ever match. notNeutral's take on the classic Mexican hurricanes includes an array of bold modern colors.
You know it's Spring when I start posting bird feeders. I can't help it! It just happens. The 
It's about time to get out and garden! While I love a good container garden, I don't enjoy the many, many trips of refilling the ol' watering can it takes in order to get everything good and soaked. I'm thinking 
The sculptural form is ergonomic and practical: hold the can's neck with one hand and the sizable recess in the base with the other while you pour or shower up to 7.5 liters of water. Made from recyclable polypropylene, this can stands at 22.5 inches tall and features a removable spout and perforated, stainless steel lid. Available in black or green.
*angelic OOs and AHs* Did you hear that? That's the sound of a new CB2 
The reality of sunshine and rainbows is right around the corner and has me dreaming of outdoor living spaces. In this imaginary world wherein I actually have an outdoor area large enough to own outdoor furniture and thus accessorize said furniture, I own pillows like this. And I have a pool... and a million dollars. And swanky friends who lounge around drinking martinis and talk about politics. OK, maybe not that last one.
