Hooray IKEA!

For a country with such a long winter (they have an ICE Hotel for goodness' sake), those Swedish designers over at IKEA HQ sure know a thing or three about good looking outdoor furniture. Witness:

ROXÖ Easy Chair – $139

OR
VÄNÖ easy chair – $49.99

(with a cute cushion made from this fabric, or this one, or this one perhaps?)

OR, the one that everyone's been talking about...


The ARHOLMA series – $120 and $90, respectively

ARHOLMA is a more than reasonable facsimile of this little ditty from Pottery Barn, I'd say. And you can get cushions for $40 a piece too, so you'll still have enough dough left over to set your yard on fire (note: I am in no way advocating that) or just get your drink on this 4th of July:
