Weekend Nap Spots
Aug 6th, 2010 by Hazel
It’s Friday afternoon. Are you feeling pumped up for the weekend? Have you already begun to plan a day trip, a gardening chore or two, or a big baking exertion? Or, has your mind wandered to the evenings out sure to come stumbling your way?
I am not feeling any of that pre-weekend excitement. I am feeling that pre-weekend exhaustion. Anyone else? I have every intention of spending my swinging and crazy Friday night curled up in my hammock with outdoor living magazines and a smoothie.
So, for you, oh embracers of the weekend nap… I invite you to create an outdoor napping spot! Sit back, relax, and get comfortable!
Hang a Hammock: Ah, the hammock. Mine hangs in my backyard to constantly beckon me with a sweet invitation. If you still don’t have one, (or worse, if you have one and it’s not hanging up) I highly suggest that you get it ready for Saturday. Its lazy way of hugging your body while swaying in the breeze is everything an August afternoon should have. Hang it in the corner, away from the hustle and bustle.
Curl up in a Swingbed: Remember when they came out with the iphone? The thought of one device to be your music library and your telephone, as well as provide internet access was inconceivable. My excitement over the iphone does not even begin to touch my awe when I saw my first swingbed. Are you ready? It’s porch swing that’s also a day bed. If you haven’t experienced this yet, now is the time. With a ridiculously deep seat, you can literally curl up into perfect comfort on a porch swing… a swingbed
Lounge in a Chaise Lounge: Ready for a no-brainer? Chaise lounges have “lounge” in the name! Go vintage and sprawl out on a piece of outdoor furniture often called a fainting couch. A cool drink is required, as well as huge sunglasses. Relax, dah-ling.
Get Comfy in Deep Seating: You know the neighbors you have with the TV and old couch falling apart on the front lawn? This is not that! Deep seating is interior style outdoor furniture. The deep, comfy, cushiony feel of a sofa or loveseat… designed to take on the elements. Too good to be true? Nope, it’s totally possible.
Ready for an afternoon nap? I am. No matter where you stretch out or curl up… just do it outdoors and in style.
Oh! And Have Fun!
Hazel.
