Page 9 By Lizzie Henson pilllow photos by Bouf.com Make Patio Furniture Look Like New Replacing cushions or adding colorful pillows to current patio furniture can dramatically change the look of outdoor living spaces. If metal furniture has lost its luster, powder coating is an excellent option to make it good as new. 2 Go Green Adding a garden box or vegetable garden will bring life and color to the yard. Trim back overgrown trees and add annuals to walkways, as well as to pots that can be placed on the patio and watered often. Annuals that do well in Phoenix heat are often considered wildflowers in other parts of the country. Arizona poppy, Mexican sunflowers, red flax, cherry red sage, portulaca, southwestern cosmos and blanket flower are great go-to plants from spring to fall. 1 Light Things Up Consider adding lighting, whether in the form of inexpensive solar lamps or up-lights for trees and plants. Draping strings of miniature lights also adds ambiance. Colorful lanterns are an excellent way to add beauty to your evenings on the patio. Creative blogger and artist Elise Engh has designed cheerful homemade lanterns made from tin cans that can be done easily in your own home. 4 Linda’s Tips for Outdoor Furniture Care Summer Lawn Tips • Spot clean cushions and pillows with Dawn dish soap and hose them off. • Make sure to sit cushions and pillows upright to dry, allowing water to drain and not sit stagnate. • If cushions need extra care, remove the cushion cover and wash in cold water. Do not dry or use fabric softener. • Keep furniture covered if away for a period of time. Summer weather can severely damage furniture if it’s left without care. • Dust! Keeping furniture well dusted is the most important factor in outdoor furniture care. Keep Grass Looking Its Best 3 • Grass should be cut between 2.5 inches and 4 inches. • Watering time should be in the early hours of the morning. At this time, the air is cool enough to allow the water to seep into the ground without evaporating and steaming the grass. • Before summer temperatures really take affect, aerate your lawn, allowing it to breath and grow longer roots. Materials Needed: Recycled tin cans • Hammer • Nail • Pliers Bailing wire • Spray paint • Tea light candle For step-by-step instructions go to Engh’s blog: growcreative.blogspot.com YOUR BACKYARD Rejuvenate 4 TI P S T O Linda Barreira, local designer and owner of Arcadia Design and Stitch, says furniture care is incredibly important.
