Whether you have a tiny apartment balcony or a huge deck, all the mid-season lawn and patio furniture sales going on right now are the perfect excuse to give your outdoor space a makeover. Here are some of my favorites finds:

These bright green wicker and metal chairs from Crate & Barrel are just the right size for a small patio or balcony ($64.95 each). Throw in an aluminum powdercoated table ($99.95) and you’re set for alfresco dining.

Forget happy hour at a bar this summer. Instead, invite your friends over for wine and relax outdoors in your Forest Stewardship Council-certified eucalyptus lounge furniture ($23.99 to $139.99) from World Market. Don't forget to accessorize with a few adorable crustacean pillows ($12.49).

I can't get enough of these boxy galvanized planters from CB2 ($7.95 to $34.95). Their clean, modern look would compliment just about any outdoor space. I currently have three on my front porch and I want more!

Available at Crate & Barrel, World Market, and CB2.
