Coastline Treasures

Summer is just about here, the weather is warming and the days are getting longer.  We have more time to go outdoors and sit and relax after a day’s work.  How is your garden set up?  Do you have rooms or areas to relax?  As you walk though your garden are there places to stop and listen to the birds or just to sit and ponder for a moment?  Adding wooden garden furniture is a natural choice.  Wood works well with any décor and looks natural tucked into the garden.  Do you have an arbor?  Add a wooden chair to invite you to stay for awhile.  How about the shade tree?  It’s a perfect place to plant a wooden bench.  The more areas there are to sit the longer you will stay.

 Make these areas special.  Add a stool to encourage you to put your feet up and stay for while.  Adding some colorful pots with seasonal flowers will decorate these ‘rooms’ as will adding colorful cushions and throw pillows that you can sink into.  Adding wind chimes will create some music for your yard.  Do you like birds?  Add a birdhouse to encourage feathered friends to stay to enjoy your company.  Taking the time to create an enticing yard will give you hours of great pleasure.
