Warm Weather Inspiration At Fifthroom.com!

by Claudine Kurp

I recently moved to Houston, Texas.  The weather has been wonderful and I am currently enjoying a lovely 75 degrees.  I have never lived in a tropical climate so the promise of warm temperatures for months to come coupled with my new pool, has me dreaming of a beautiful outdoor space.  Truth be told, I have always been somewhat obsessed with outdoor living.  In Northern Virginia, I considered the first warm March day the kickoff to the season and celebrated accordingly.  Moving just gave me a great excuse to bulk up my outdoor offering of furniture and accessories.

Since moving, I feel like I am on the never-ending quest to find new items for my house.  It is finally time to focus on the outside space.  I have looked at a number of online sites (who doesn’t love tax free shopping) and discovered http://www.fifthroom.com for some awesome outdoor and even indoor wares for home and garden.

As I looked through endless of products, I found that I was a little torn.  My Northern sensibilities have me pivoting toward beautiful white rocking chairs coupled with a small table.  My gold standard for my Virginia patio has always been four white rocking chairs, a fire pit in the center and some side tables with a bright red geranium.  The thought of it makes me want to roast a marshmallow and chill out with my family.

Of course in Texas backyard living is a way of life and folks go BIG with furniture as many months of the year are spent pool side.  Since my backyard comes with a pool but doesn’t have a covered porch I have been looking for fun ideas for evening dinners and gatherings that provide cover from late sun or possible rain. 

I love this standalone pavilion for my backyard.  It is such a great transitional piece.  It can easily be used on a cement surface or grass. It would be a perfect home for a patio or dining set.

The dining sets came in array of colors.  Not to be a cliché, but I feel in love with the cup holder accessory that fits on the Adirondack chairs.  They also have an adorable Kid’s Furniture section.  Lemonade anyone?

My husband’s wishlist included a hammock and a killer firepit.  I was amazed at the selection on http://www.fifthroom.com.  They are stocked with a rich selection of products that blend with any backyard setting.  For inspiration and frankly to narrow the field of possible purchases I headed to their Houzz site.  It is full of inspiration for backyard design. 

In the end, I think I am going to fall back to my true love of Adirondack chairs and a dining table.  I am trying to force myself to be bolder with color choice.  So with 20 colors available, I feel a little boring picking white.  Stay tuned.

Temperatures are starting to thaw everywhere.   Even if snow surrounds you, take a trip http://www.fifthroom.com for an online spring break and get ready! Summer 2015 is right around the corner!
