Tina Roeder White Billion Chairs

This is a very cool idea! Tina Roeder has taken the obligatory white outdoor chair and turned it into an original with nothing more than a Dremel and a drill bit. See Appel Design for more images.

Before And After Outdoor Space

The bones were there but Landscape architect Sasha Tarnopolsky removed a small lap pool, which was located just a few feet from the back door, and in its place installed a simple concrete patio that acts as an extension of the dining and living areas. She added a concrete bench at the end of the patio to provide built-in seating and placed a discreet water feature nearby (water bubbles up through gravel from a cistern hidden below). Tarnopolsky filled most of the remaining space with lawn, providing a soft contrast to the hard geometry of the concrete forms. The rest of the landscaping consists of simple, low-maintenance plants.

Now I know these insects do so much for the world of nature, but their encroachment on my outdoor sitting area is making it hard to use, and I don't want to go around spraying bug killer. Here's a stunning option designed by Pernille Vea for Menu.

Outdoor Luxury Furniture

If you're looking for fabulous luxury and modern design in your outdoor furniture here are some wonderful options. The price is not low but they wear so well you'll have them for years to come.

Vintage Modern Ceramics

When adding the finishing touches to a space why not go with some striking vintage modern ceramics. These highly collectible pieces can be found at affordable prices if you look around and can increase greatly in value over time.
