Trend with signature Mike: Spring Forward!

Goodbye for winter! We may have to suffer from one or two quick cold spells, but spring is in the air! I look forward to seeing green grass, vines and leaf covers and replacing the remains of this hurricane.

It is time for us to get outdoors and enjoy the moderate weather before the heat and humidity are used. So I thought I would share some fun products this week that can improve your living areas outdoors.

Let's start with the mistake. Mosquitoes can be great pain, especially for the better tasting goals! Citronella works well, but classic citronella can be a little sharp. I found this great product that is Citronella, but it's pineapple! It relieves the original and comes in a variety of attractive vessels.

You even have a votive size that you can sit around and create a circumference or share with your friends!

Each of these articles would also make great gifts!

If pineapple does not appeal to you, take a look at these long frankincense rods that you can hold in your lawn or potted plants. They come in scents of sea salt and lavender!

If the insects find them particularly tasty, there are Citronella bodies sprays in scents from lavender or verbena!

These could also make a great gift!

You know that I like to add a little green in every room of my designs. It adds a special freshness and a neutral green. However, if you are like me, I just can't keep a living plant alive. I even fight with outdoor plants! But you don't have to! I am not a big fan of silk plants. Many of them just don't look real. For me they shout wrong and cheap.

However, when it comes to outdoor plants, a juicy type can be perfect! And many of them look so real. I always thought that a living succulent looked a little wrong. I love to use succulents outdoors. They are usually easily swallowed and are available in such a variety of sizes.

This next product is so versatile. I use it inside, but this company also produces the product for external use. It is a grid product that is available in a variety of patterns and sizes. It comes in black or white. It can be used along the base of a deck or as a partition wall or fence insert.

It is fun to design it is a low maintenance and a great design detail.

Poly furniture has put a long way. There are so many colors to choose from and so many different types of seats and tables. It is easy to swallow, especially in the high pollen months.

Provperates are plentiful. Just as you design inside with fabrics, there are so many options for outdoor fabrics. Regardless of whether you select fabric for pillows, pillows or pre -waste plates, the selection are endless!
