Adirondack Delight

There are some amazing blogs out there. And some of them are a very bad influence.  They feed my delusion that I can do anything.  Cook fabulous meals from scratch.  Remodel my home overnight.  Train my dog to outshine Lassie.  Operate power tools fearlessly.

So when Knock-Off Wood finally posted plans for her DIY Adirondack chair, I had only one thought, "Uh-oh, I'm in trouble now."

I'm a long-time admirer of these chairs--love the style, yes, but the comfort!  They just may define summer relaxation with their obvious laid-backedness (what else could you call it?).  Plus they have that lovely wide arm that's like a mini-table fit for lemonade or fruit smoothies or a morning bowl of cereal while I lounge and admire the waterlilies.

Not that I have the room for another chair--The Big Guy is still in residence accompanied by his sofa bed, recliner, Golden Retriever and patio set--but surely I could fit it in somewhere.  The only question is, "What color (this link has a rainbow of chairs) should it be?"

What color would be perfect in your garden?  Would you choose soft neutrals or bright primaries or yummy pastels?  Do you think a chair has to match your flower palette?  These are all Very Important Questions in my on-going search for summer patio perfection.  I just wouldn't be able to fully relax if I thought my chair was the wrong color.  So...maybe a circle of Adirondacks in all my favorite colors would be the answer?
 
I think my summer to-do list just got a little longer.
