The Core of Great Decor

Ode to My Hammock

February 26th, 2007

One of my all-time favorite pieces of outdoor furniture, and I know I’m not alone on this one, is my hammock. Picture this: the warm summer air blowing gently; a faint familiar sound of nature playing softly; you laying back in the most comfortable position possible with a nice drink at hand and not a single care or thought on your mind. Doesn’t that sound simply other-worldly? Well most of the time it is. Vacation is rare, and peace and tranquility even more sparse. For those precious few gems of serenity (be it once a week, once a month, or once a year!) it’s important to maximize the experience. That’s why my hammock is where I run to whenever I do have a bit of relaxation time. There’s just nothing like the pleasure of sitting back in a hammock and allowing the scene described above to unfold around you.

Hammocks are great because there’s so much diversity within this seemingly small field of patio furniture. Solid or rope style, padded or straight up t-shirt, whatever material or color you please. Hammocks can be decked out with hammock pillows, hammock caddies, or a hammock mosquito net. You’ve got your banana hammock, your baby hammock, don’t wanna leave out Rover, so there’s the pet hammock, and the camping hammock, Let’s not even get into things like the hammock chair; the variety is unbelievable! Whatever your flavor, all these hammock inventions share the same thing; lots of room for individuality, no criticism, and all the comfort of a lazy summer day. That’s why the hammock is any leisure-seekers best friend.
