Adirondack or Muskoka, you decide...

Up north we refer to them as Muskoka Chairs & down south they are referred to as Adirondack Chairs. All I know is I cannot wait to sit in ours by the fire when we are at the cabin. There is nothing better than relaxing after a day out in the sun with good friends and family, by a bonfire sitting in a comfy chair, and enjoying the conversation and company.

You can get them pretty much everywhere and made out of pretty much everything, from cedar, teak, recycled material, & plastic. Last year we found a great deal on ebay, they were unfinished fir for around $30 each.  I had Rob paint them in the same color as the trim the we used for the exterior of the home, Pratt & Lambert Lambswool, one of my faves, it is a simple off-white and a great contrast to the stained cedar siding on the home.

They do look so lovely in fun funky colors as well, a great way to add a pop of fun to any space...

Or you can keep them in a natural wood state for a more earthy calm look...

Whatever you decide you will love the feel of them, but most of all the memories that are made while you are sitting in them surrounded by great people!

Have a fantastic Thursday and enjoy the sun! Mel :)

BTW, HERE is the link for the seller from ebay that we purchased ours through, they are a bit more this year but if you order as many as we did (12) then you will get a deal I am sure.
