IDS 2011: The Great Canadian Outdoors

There are few things Canadians look forward to more than the warmth of spring and summer weather. Like eager butterflies, the moment the snow melts, we emerge from our cocoons and flock to backyards and cottages. No longer content to kick back on the deck in folding aluminum chairs, home owners seek a comfortably furnished outdoor space to relax.

I found two outdoor furniture companies at IDS 11, each on opposite ends of the affordability scale. For those with a healthy budget, and who want investment pieces that will last a lifetime, Andrew Richard Designs has an amazing selection of high quality pieces. A more affordable option is the stylish new Sung Outdoor line of outdoor furniture available at The Bay.
