Helping you find the perfect outdoor furniture and more!
Hi, I’m Ashley!
I know that shopping for outdoor furniture, decor, fire pits, accessories for your pool, etc., can be challenging because my family and I have experienced it!
- There are so many retailers and brands to choose from (Did you shop all the right places)
- There are so many options to consider (Is an Adirondack chair the right choice for you? What is Sunbrella?)
- How much is too much to spend? (Is expensive furniture worth it?)
Knowing those challenges is why I started this blog: to help answer your questions, help you find the best products, and provide detailed information to help you make the best decisions for your backyard. This all based on my (and my family’s) hands-on experience and the countless hours of research on all things patio furniture, pools, landscaping, hardscaping, decor, and more. I truly hope this information helps you Live Your Best Backyard!
