Speaking of outdoor bar furniture, I just happened across this sleek-looking set while browsing Amazon. The Barzebo Pavilion is a gazebo-styled portable outdoor bar with two sling bar stools. The water resistant two-tier canopy top snaps on to the powder-coated steel frame, and its counter sports a tempered glass top. I can see having one of these on my patio this summer for the crowd - or just me - to hang out in. This may be interesting if you are looking for a stylish outdoor bar furniture set to serve drinks and nibbles to your guests this summer.

It’s Mardi Gras time in New Orleans! Even though there may be snow where you are, that doesn’t stop you from thinking about parties, good times and warm weather. Or maybe you want to host a party and serve your guests fabulous refreshments with style indoors. Now’s a great time to think about improving your entertainment area. How about some indoor outdoor bar furniture for your backyard or family room?
Indoor Outdoor Bar Furniture is Extremely Versatile
You can use the bar furniture indoors when the 
weather is less than inviting, or outdoors near the backyard pool or grill. Home bar furniture can be made of teak, aluminum, bamboo, pine or all-weather wicker, so it should be easy to find one to match your lifestyle and tastes. Many indoor outdoor bar furniture sets can also be matched with a patio umbrella to provide cool shade when outdoors. Consider bars with wheels to make it easy to move them about. Look for generously sized countertops that allow you to mix drinks and serve your guests without being cramped. You may also want enclosed storage compartments that protect your bar supplies from uninvited outdoor pests.
Laissez le bon temps roulez! Whatever your entertainment needs, indoor outdoor bar furniture can make your home the preferred gathering place in all seasons for family and friends.

Consider Insuring Your Valuable Outdoor and Patio Furniture
July 25th, 2007 Subscribe To Our Feed
I just read two stories online about outdoor furniture. The first out of the UK was from a financial company - American Express - advising homeowners to insure their outdoor furniture. According to them a British household’s outdoor tables and chairs costs an average of £248 ($510 USD); not including such niceties as patio heaters and sun loungers. I dismissed the story at first as just another way for the insurers to make money by instilling fear. But the very next story I read happened to be about a rash of outdoor patio furniture theft from restaurants in a South Carolina town. It just made me think - if one is going all out to decorate their outdoor areas with beautiful and often quite valuable items, it does makes sense to insure those items under the homeowner’s general insurance policy just as one would their interior furnishings; especially if the items are unsecured out of doors in an unlocked area. Just a little food for thought…
