Turn a camp cot into an elegant patio daybed. Throw pillows in coordinating colors provide a soft surface to lean against. A customized camp stool makes for more than just a convenient seat. Artfully refurbished, it will function as a nifty side table in a sunroom or on a porch. Camp chairs with sling seats are ideal for lounging by the sea, especially when they have been updated with beach-worthy prints. For this project, we backed a vintage state tablecloth with sturdy canvas. The smooth, flat slabs normally used as stepping stones last for years under any weather conditions -- a quality that makes them ideal as outdoor tabletops. Instead of settling for a print that's not quite right, make your own outdoor chaise cushions using inexpensive pillows and the fabric of your choice. Table-and-umbrella tandems are often found on patios and decks, where they provide sheltered seating for large groups. Why not adapt the concept to more intimate settings? You will need a small wooden table, plus an outdoor umbrella that's proportional to the table.
Decking your yard with tiki torches is an inexpensive, festive way to bring island style home -- and to light up the night without electricity. Use them to line a path or surround a patio. A vintage wooden cupboard provides handsome storage for gardening supplies. Perched on the front porch, it serves as a way station between house and garden. When the fabric seat of a favorite old beach chair begins to tatter, fray, or fade, custom-make a new one out of durable, washable ticking. Create a cool spot for summer living with one of our easy canopies. Iron garden tables from the mid-20th century are easy to find at flea markets, but they often look plain. Give one instant style with a fresh coat of paint in a sunny shade and easy-to-install caning (no weaving required). Hang a tire from a branch, and let your kids experience the sensation of flight at home. To sway, spin, and fly through the air -- that's what swings are good for. The tire swing is a classic, and hanging it from a tree brings the fun to your own backyard.
Rinse away grit after a beach trip -- or a wrestling match with the mower. This outdoor shower hooks right up to your garden hose (yep, it's cold water only; for a hot-water shower, consult a plumber). To complement your backyard with the most appropriate furnishings, you might forgo a trip to the garden center and head to the lumberyard instead. Encircling a majestic black locust tree, this bench delivers 360-degree views. A slab of stone and a few overturned flowerpots make a table that blends into the garden so well, it almost looks like something you unearthed while turning the soil. Set the table for a whole season of festive cookouts by giving it a new summer coat. The wooden slats of a classic picnic table provide a ready-made outline for stripes. A plain pair of wooden seats gets a bright new look from simple coils of rope. Stenciled Hawaiian Flower Cushions Store-bought lounge cushions get a splash of cool hues -- inspired by the natural foliage of Hawaii.
