The Outdoor Living Room
Have you seen what’s new in the world of outdoor patio furniture? Teak, wicker, wrought iron, and a diversity of wooden and caned varieties are all the rage in outdoor furniture and accessories. Let your backyard entertainment living space take on the look you dream of. Check out what’s happening in the way of outdoor living and entertaining, and create your own backyard oasis!
Take a quick glance about your neighbourhood and you may notice changes happening all around you. Rather than moving to a larger living space, many people are redoing the house they currently own. This renovation craze may not include the inside of the home at all. A new trend is evolving as gardens are becoming an extension of one’s living space. People’s imaginations are expanding as they discover more ways to enjoy their property year round.
The trend has taken off to expand your living space outdoors. For many it’s an opportunity to express another side of their decorating taste. For some it addresses the ongoing need for more living space for more months of the year. For others it involves learning the finer aspects of gardening and creating a paradise all their own. Whatever the reason, this trend is catching on!
Purchasing a new home and looking for an opportunity to create something unique and different within your subdivision, consider moving some of your living space outdoors. Imagine having a place to entertain 12 months of the year and then purchase the furniture and outdoor accessories that would allow your dream to happen. The selection of patio furniture has grown immensely so your choice of style and material is quite diverse.
Consider some of these options. Start with wicker chairs and side tables, overstuffed cushions, comfortable pillows and soft throws for those chilly evenings, add in some cascading planter boxes and hanging plants and presto! Romance awaits you at the end of a long day. Looking for that Caribbean, poolside atmosphere or lakeside, cottage casual appeal, you might include wooden chairs with canvas seats, canvas umbrella, perhaps a cloth hammock or two. Wooden benches and tables leave room for the imagination by adding your own personal touch with paint or stenciling. For a more formal upscale atmosphere, investigate what wrought iron and teak can bring to your vision of outdoor living.
Join in the fun and find out what all the interest is about. Visit some local garden or outdoor furniture stores. Go out and explore what ‘s new, what’s old and what’s new again! Enjoy the opportunity to create an outdoor living space that reflects your personal taste and lifestyle.

Get a trainer to do the job or u can urself train ur dogs not to pee on everything.
Dogs learn such things very quickly.

They make a spray to keep dogs away from stuff. Go to you local pet store and ask them what it is. You can also spray things with garlic oil or vinegar to keep dogs away. Not sure how long the garlic would smell in your situation but the vinegar smell goes away in a couple days but still continues to work. We got a puppy for xmas and he decided to destroy our carpet. I sprayed the carpet with vinegar and he decided he didn’t like it anymore.

If I get an outdoor dark wicker furniture set, how can I protect it from dog pee?
I LOVE this outdoor living room set I saw..it will go underneith a patio. Where I live it doesn’t rain much BUT my dogs pee on everything. Is it possible that I take off the cusions and, maybe, spray paint it with a clear gloss to protect the ‘weatherproof’ wicker?
