#1 – Patio Armchair

Now here is a versatile patio chair!

Not only does this chair look modern, sleek, and stylish – it’s built to last, too! The chair is made of a very heavy-duty plastic that is made to withstand the outdoor elements. The chair is available in four different colors, all are UV-protected and fade-resistant. The chair has comfortable armrests and a comfortable seat. The chairs can be stacked when not in use. The seat also has a small hole in it, allowing any rainwater to drain.

The chairs can be used at a patio table, around a firepit, on a deck or around a pool – they’re perfect for all these uses. Of course, you could also bring the chairs inside and use them at a dining room or kitchen table. Because they’re plastic and easy to clean, they would also make a great chair for a child at a desk or craft table. And, you could even use the chair in a shower if needed. Lots of ways to use these chairs!


#2 – Solar LED Rattan Caning Lantern

Enjoy evenings on your porch, deck, or patio with one or more of these solar LED lanterns!

I love that these lanterns are made of a weather-friendly material, so they can be left outside even when it rains. I also think the color and overall style fits right in with pretty much any decor theme you have. Since they’re solar, just place them in the sunshine by day, and enjoy the soft lights at night. The pattern of the rattan also casts interesting shadows at night, making them a focal point in your decor.  The lanterns are available in two sizes – 18-inches tall and 24-inches tall, buy one of each for a balanced display.

These lanterns have a soft enough light, you could also use them on a blanket in your backyard for star gazing evenings on the grass. The handles make them easy to carry from your house to your yard.


#3 – Bamboo and Melamine Outdoor Dining

I had been looking for a few serving dishes to use at our pool – when I spotted this blue bamboo and melamine plate. It was exactly the look I was searching for!

I think this blue plate looks like a swimming pool, and I’m going to use it to hold snacks while we’re swimming. The decor at our pool is yellow and white cabana stripes, so I was even more excited when I saw the striped pieces in this line of outdoor dishes. I think the plates will be perfect for holding cheese, crackers, and other small appetizers and the bowls will be great for holding sliced fresh fruits. I realize the dishes aren’t large like typical serving trays, but I think they will add variety and will make it fun at the pool. I also like that the dishes are made of bamboo and melamine – they’re practically indestructible!

I think the dishes in this design would be fun for any Summer get-together! Use them on the patio or deck at your next cookout. Use them to hold lunch staples while relaxing on the porch. The bright colors are just so perfect for Summer! How would you use these pieces?

You can find product links to all three things on Pinterest at Things I Like and you can find some of these things in my Amazon Marketplace Storefront.

NOTE: Since my job is an online store and mentoring ecommerce business owners, I spend a LOT of time online each day. While most of that time is spent working, I do occasionally stumble across websites, articles, and cool things that I really like. I save these things to a Pinterest board, so someday when I have some free time, I can go back to that board and enjoy the things I found. I enjoy sharing these fun finds with you, and hope you find them interesting, too!
