520 IKEA PR outdoor final 92 Its Beginning to Look a Lot Like Summer!

I know it’s only February. And there may still be snow on the ground around here (with more forecasted for this week). Hush! Let me pretend summer is around the corner!

And actually, it IS already time to start planning those outdoor spaces. It’s hard to beat IKEA when it comes to outdoor furniture. Durable, stylish, and affordable… what more can you ask for? Below is a look at the 2012 outdoor line. Get planning, because these things always sell out once the warm weather is actually upon us!

I love the striped lounger and the Enholmen collection. I’m wondering how these will hold up in the Southern California sun…

I *need* to know the name of the flooring in this photo! It looks like what I had wanted to buy at Ikea last year, but was sold out before I made up my mind to do it. I was, coincidentally, looking for it a few hours ago on the Ikea website and couldn’t find it. Help?
