Celebrate Summer with Plow & Hearth (Review & Giveaway)

In our family, summer means spending an abundant amount of time outdoors. Whether we are playing outside with Princess P, lounging by the river or working in our flower beds, we are outside soaking up the warm weather and enjoying nature. However, since most days are spent outside, our back deck seems to collect all of the clutter that follows us outdoors.
Several weeks ago, as we were all out on the back deck, I realized that we needed an outdoor storage solution that would not only house some of our items, but also be resistant to weather. Not long after I had that thought, I turned to one of my favorite stores for home and garden items, Plow & Hearth, to find what I was looking for.
Sure enough, I found exactly what I was looking for at Plow & Hearth after only a couple of minutes of searching. The Small Weather-Resistant Storage Box not only fit the bill, but also provides an extra seating option. Throw in the Blue Striped Toss Pillow also found at Plow & Hearth and you have a comfortable and functional outdoor seat.
Luckily for me, Plow & Hearth sent both the Small Weather-Resistant Storage Box and the Blue Striped Toss Pillow for review! When the Small Storage Box arrived, I was pleasantly surprised at how easy the assembly was (it literally just snaps together) and how fast it was out on our back deck being used. All we had to do was throw on the toss pillow and we had a functional storage box with extra seating for our guests!
Not only is the Small Weather-Resistant Storage Box easy to assemble, but its sturdy design and stay-dry lid keeps contents neat and dry. Also, the storage box features a maintenance-free resign that will provide you with years of use. The Small Weather-Resistant Storage Box from Plow & Hearth is 22"L x 17"W x 24"H and will hold a variety of items. For example, C keeps his "outdoor shoes" in it along with some of our gardening tools and even the Striped Toss Pillow when it is windy.
The Blue Striped Toss Pillow from Plow & Hearth is made of 100% yarn-dyed polyester fabric that will withstand harsh UV rays, resist fading, repel water and is mildew proof. Each 17" square toss pillow makes a perfect accent for outdoor benches and swings and is also great for turning outdoor storage boxes into comfy seating.

We have had the Small Weather-Resistant Storage Box and Blue Striped Toss Pillow from Plow & Hearth for several weeks now, and I have nothing but great things to say about each one. The storage box has stood up to some pretty nasty storms and has been a trooper through each one, keeping its contents nice and dry. Also, the pillow has been out in the bright summer sun for days on end now and we have seen no signs of fading. The Small Weather-Resistant Storage Box and Blue Striped Toss Pillow not only solved our outdoor clutter problem, but also added seating to our back deck!

Buy It: The Small Weather-Resistant Storage Box ($59.95) and the Blue Striped Toss Pillow (on sale for $9.99) are available to purchase at www.plowandhearth.com
