Many thanks to the folks at The Hill is Home blog for interviewing me as part of their new monthly design feature.  Kyra Deblaker-Gebhard is great to work with!

I haven't been able to ignore the fact that I need to purchase outdoor furniture for my new balcony because every day I receive a home furnishing catalog in the mail featuring new outdoor furniture collections!  The options have expanded over the years as many Americans increasingly view their outdoor space as an extension of their living space.  I have so many options to choose from, many of which are affordable.

Here are a couple of options for you to consider if you are also looking for new outdoor furniture:

Wisteria's new collection is centered around furniture that one would find in a New England lake house with a light and beachy feel.  They also have a few pieces grounded in vintage design such as this great Vintage White Patio Chair.

Ballard Design's outdoor furniture is 20% off through June 1.  They offer some comfy collections, including my favorite:  Corsica.   I would love to crawl up with a book and sit on this chair all afternoon on a beautiful, sunny day!
