1. A wicker swing you'll want to use basically every day in the summer to enjoy the beautiful weather while reading a book. I can already feel you starting to relax.
2. A retro three-piece rocker set I'm pretty sure I saw in an episode of Veronica Mars the other day – if that show's coming back. it def means these are still in style.
3. A wicker table with a removable lid so you can store all the random things you don't want sitting out when you're not outside using them.
4. A three-piece chair and table set you can soak up the sun in. Just don't forget to wear sunscreen!
5. And an umbrella for when you want to be outside, but the sun is just a little too much to handle.
6. A chiminea to keep you warm when the temp cools down but you're not ready to go inside just yet.
7. A set of two all-weather wicker chairs so you don't have to worry about them when it suddenly starts to downpour at 3 p.m. (because that's what it does in the summer for some reason).
8. Some plates made of melamine so you can use them when you eat dinner outside and not worry about ruining your everyday plates.
9. A side table – everyone who sees it will be able to ~read between the lines~ and know that you have great taste in decor.
10. Some LED string lights that'll add the perfect amount of ambiance and be a ~bright spot~ on your patio.
11. A furniture set that comes with an ottoman, coffee table, and chair that you can arrange however you like. I can already see you sitting there in the morning, getting some fresh air as you enjoy a cup of coffee.
12. A set of two planters to add a bit of greenery, but with a modern flair.
13. A bar cart because the party doesn't have to stop just because you're outside. Actually, that means the party should be that much bigger and better!
14. A tabletop firebowl, so even if you're short on space, you can still enjoy a nice little fire.
15. A macrame hammock that'll for sure help you live your best summer life.
16. A table so chic and modern, people will probably think you got it from some fancy schmancy store with a much higher price tag.
17. A lounge chair and ottoman that'll take the phrase "sit back and relax" to a whole new level.
18. Some stemless wine glasses specifically made out of shatter-resistant plastic so you don't even have to worry about dropping one and getting glass EVERYWHERE.
19. A modern pot so nice and clean it will have minimalists shaking in their boots.
20. A cast iron fire pit that'll make your patio the ~hot~ spot for all your friends to hang out, because there's just something so nice about sitting and laughing around a bonfire.
21. A lounge chair – you might want to be careful with it, because it *could* cause you to never want to leave your backyard again (not that that's a bad thing!).
22. A griddle cooking center – once you start using it, you may end up cooking every meal on it. Yeah, it's that good.
23. An embossed stool that'll look so chic in your backyard—plus it will come in handy when you realize you invited more people than you have seats for dinner.
24. A set of two bamboo lanterns – you'll ~light~ up every time you see them sitting on the table.
25. A fire pit chat set you'll wonder how you ever spent a summer without. Now you'll have no excuse to not invite those friends you haven't seen in months over to hang out.
26. A adirondack chair you won't have to be sitting on the dack of the bay to use – this beauty will be perfect anywhere!
27. A storage ottoman that'll help keep those pool toys out of sight—but not out of mind.
You after you ~deck~ out your backyard and make it the most epic place to be:
