Patio Sun Shades

Few people who pass attractive homes in the suburban districts of our large cities and the outlying country, realize that much of their charm is due to effects which require a comparatively small outlay in dollars and cents.

Good taste, combined with a degree of skill that is within reach of most of us, represent the chief part of the investment. And yet—these little, inexpensive things are the very ones that produce the pleasing effects we are all striving after in our efforts to make home attractive.

Most of them convey an impression of being made for use, not show.

They are in a class with the broad-seated, wide-armed ” old hickory ” rockers with which we make our modern patios comfortable nowadays, and the hammock swung in shady places, where one may lie  and forget everything but the fact that it is sometimes a pleasant thing to be lazy—frankly, unblushingly lazy.

It is a healthy indication that in  life when so many people use patio sun shades to get all the comfort they can from outdoors in summer.

Every home whose grounds are large enough to accommodate patio sun shades ought to have seating made for comfort, rather than looks that are suggestive of rest and relaxation.
