Find the F-U-N in Patio Furniture

Decorating a home has always been an exciting undertaking that requires much planning and research. Though daunting at times, it can be a lot of fun spending hours browsing through catalogs, websites, and specialty stores, collecting ideas on colors, styles, and accessories that will help you to achieve the look that you envision. It’s a process not taken lightly, as very few people have the money – or the inclination – to redecorate every few years. By contrast, the procedure for choosing porch or patio furniture has always been much simpler – yet far less enjoyable.

For the most part, it has traditionally meant a trip to the local five-and-ten, where you would find plastic chairs that collapsed, metal chairs that quickly rusted, lounge chairs that folded up with you still in them, and, perhaps, a noisy glider that would stick on one side. The only accessories were mosquito-repellent candles in buckets, and Japanese lanterns. So it was that, while interior decorating provided the opportunity for one to revel in yards of fabric, endless palettes of colors, and hundreds of styles, outdoor furniture departments were barren wastelands.

Well, things have certainly changed in the world of patio furniture. With leisure time dwindling, and the costs of taking vacations soaring, people are opening their eyes to the wonderful things that are in their own backyards, and taking full advantage of them. Porches and patios are now playing major roles in people’s lifestyles, and there has been an incredible population boom in gazebos and decks. People now see them as outdoor havens, where they spend significant amounts of time, not only relaxing, but entertaining as well.

Because of this shift in perception, over the past decade or so, tons of outdoor furniture choices have been sneaking up behind us. If you haven’t turned around to face them yet, you really should, because they are fantastic! Forget about the wobbly plastic chairs, rusty metal seats, and gliders that won’t glide. CedarStore.com is a decorator’s paradise, offering patio furniture in endless varieties of styles, colors, and materials, as well as a wide range of accessories.

Teak Patio Furniture – Does It Really Last A Lifetime?

Wood is always a popular and natural choice and while cedar is nice, teak is better.

Teak, also called Jati, is a hardwood tree usually found in tropical climates and is native to South America and Southeast Asia. This hardwood is used often in the manufacture of outdoor furniture and boat decks because it is highly weather resistant, it’s easily worked, and the natural oils help to make it hold up in even the most exposed situations.

Teak, indoors or out, is a wood that truly makes a fine piece of weather resistant, durable, and beautiful piece of furniture. Few people ever regret decorating their patio spaces with teak patio furniture.

Title: Erik Satie – Gymnopédie No.1 ( Orchestra ) From Wikipedia, The Gymnopédies, published in Paris starting in 1888, are three piano compositions written by French composer and pianist, Erik Satie. These short, atmospheric pieces are written in 3/4 time, with each sharing a common theme and structure. Collectively, the Gymnopédies are regarded as the precursors to modern ambient music[citation needed] – gentle yet somewhat eccentric pieces which, when composed, defied the classical tradition. For instance, the first few bars feature a disjunct chordal theme in the bass – first, a G-major 7th in the bass, and then a B-minor chord, also in the lower register. Then comes the one-note theme in D major. Although the collection of chords at first seems too complex to be harmonious, the melody soon imbues the work with a soothing atmospheric quality. Satie himself used the term “furniture music” to refer to some of his pieces, implying they could be used as mood-setting background music. However, Satie used this term to refer to only some of his later, 20th century compositions, without specific reference to the Gymnopédies as background music. From the second half of the 20th century on, the Gymnopédies were often erroneously described as part of Satie’s body of furniture music, perhaps due to John Cage’s interpretation of them.
