Outdoor Living - Co-habitation Style

Ahh... the unpredictability of Western Michigan. Although it did finally felt like Spring over the weekend. NK and I managed to hike down by the river, mountain bike a bit, had a bonfire with some friends, and kayak the Rogue River. Today, however, it's cold and raining out.

The blip of good weather we had has motivated me to get our little outdoor space ready to enjoy for the next fleeting opportunity we have. NK and I are newly co-habitating so I am tasked this Spring with making the deck not only his, but ours. I was pleased to check out all of the sneek peaks on d*s guest blog last week with elka of casasugar regarding the topic of co-habitation.

We have no "backyard" to speak of but we do have a very nice sized deck for me to fill with comfortable furniture and lovely accents. NK is an avid outdoorsman and I, myself, and quite fond of a simple outdoorsy feel - so I put together the board below to reflect our combined tastes.
Again, everything on here was pulled from mass merchants. I still think they did a pretty impressive job of pulling together some interesting collections for Summer 2008.
