Dy*no*mite Adirondack Chairs
Here is a selection of furniture, all with patriotic colors, to keep you inspired until your week ends with a B**M!! {can you tell that I’m really getting into this 4th of July thing??}
As I was looking through a website that is relatively new to me, Adirondack Furniture Direct.com, I was blown away by the large selection of Adirondack Furniture STYLES. The bright color options and unique shapes inspire fresh ideas for outdoor seating areas.
The Adirondack Chair was originally designed by Thomas Lee while he vacationed at his summer home in Westport, New York in 1903. In Lee’s design he used 11 pieces of wood, all cut from a single board.
Lee’s Adirondack Chair had a straight back and seat, which were set at a slant to sit better on the steep mountain inclines of the area. It also featured wide armrests which became a hallmark of the Adirondack Chair.
It is the large, flat armrests, that are suited perfectly for resting food and beverages, that have led to the popularity of using Adirondack Chairs as outdoor seating. {I love, love, love this swing - ABOVE - I could definitely rest my beverage on the armrest and swing for a while!!}
The rounded features and rustic appeal inspired by the early Adirondack Chair has been translated to other pieces of furniture, from gliders to love seats, and even to bedroom furniture as pictured {ABOVE}.
Lee’s greatest contribution to the world of furniture is the unique, rustic design of Adirondack Chairs that invites us to sit back and stay awhile… Perfect for celebrating the 4th with friends and family!!
