What's on sale: Get out(side)!

Summer hasn't even started yet, but the flowers are blooming, the days are lasting longer and outdoor gear is already on sale. Fill that glass of lemonade, it's time to get outside.

Smith & Hawken's Panisse bench looks like it was plucked out of a French garden. Grab it now on sale–originally $449, now $359. For an added pop of color, fill the bench with outdoor-friendly fabric cushions in hot pink or school bus yellow. Or just spray paint the entire bench cherry red. (Dimensions:
44 3/4" W x 24" D x 34" H)

Front porches and decks are the perfect place for a colorful outdoor rug like this Casablanca rug from Ballard Designs, on sale for $129 from $279. (Dimensions: 5 x 8ft)

Watering your newly blossomed flowers never looked so good as with Giorgia Ricci's Josephine ceramic watering pot; a classic design steal at $125, originally $170.
