If there's ever a time to get outside and soak up all that nature has to offer, it's NOW!  Both plants and animals are at their busiest getting ready for winter, and we have a front row seat.  The trees are transforming themselves into gorgeous shades of red, brown and gold and the birds are traveling along their usual migration routes to warmer climes.

Of course the weather is magnificent too, with cool breezes cooling us off from the recently hot summer season.  Autumn is the time for backyard barbecues, camping trips and fishing.  Basically, if it's something that can be done outdoors, get out there and do it!  Unfortunately, all of this outdoor enjoyment made me realize one thing...I needed a beautiful backyard makeover!

Never fear, for AvantGardenDecor.com has everything you need for a total transformation.  Here's my top 4 product ideas for a gorgeous patio or backyard:

A Beautiful Backyard Can Be Achieved Easily With These Products:

No matter how big or small your backyard or patio might be, these items from AvantGardenDecor.com are guaranteed to make it warmer and more inviting.  The reason these four product ideas work so well at giving you a beautiful backyard, is because each one successfully incorporates a different element of nature into your living space.

Fire Pits

We as a people have been enamored with fire since the days of the caveman.  In my opinion, it's still just as cool as ever and instantly livens up any outdoor space.  A fire pit or fire bowl is the perfect backyard accessory for fall.  Just think of all the roasted marshmallows, S'mores and hot dogs that can be made with the help of your new fire pit.

AvantGardenDecor.com has a huge selection of high-quality, heavy duty cast iron fire pits and bowls which offer a durable frame, decorative wire screen cover and protective vinyl cover – perfect for your outdoor affair. It’s a great way to extend your enjoyment of your backyard or patio when temperatures fall in the evenings or during cooler seasons when you normally stay indoors.

Wind Spinners

Whether you have trees in your backyard or not, a wind spinner will provide a unique focal point that is quite mesmerizing on windy days.  Wind spinners come in a variety of colors, patterns and shapes and will add a splash of color to any area in your patio or backyard.  They're even available with college logos or the American flag!

I received the Iron Stop Designer Sunfire Splash Wind Spinner for the purpose of this review and absolutely love the myriad of browns and golds it displays.  It blends in seamlessly to my existing garden decor and looks breathtaking once the wind begins to blow and it starts spinning away!

Bird Feeders

Here in Houston, the fall season always brings a whole host of new feathered friends, so why not extend a little Southern hospitality?  Bird feeders are a wonderful way to decorate your backyard living space because they bring both the beauty of the feeder itself and all of the gorgeous creatures who will soon arrive to take advantage of it.  Avant Garden Decor offers something for everyone and believe me, if you build it, they will come!

If you live in the Northern states and notice fewer fowl than usual, be sure to pick out a new bird feeder for your backyard anyway to welcome home the little birdies in the Spring.

Decorative Flower Pots, Window Boxes and Planters

Last, but not least, plants are a marvelous way to add beauty to any backyard or patio.  While the plants and flowers you grow are gorgeous enough in their own right, a decorative planter, window box or flower pot is like the icing on the cake.  I have several wrought iron varieties of planters around my home and love the pop of color and touch of nature these containers bring.

If you'd like to update your patio or backyard this fall, don't hesitate to shop the large selection of yard decor, planters and gardening tools from AvantGardenDecor.com.  Their vast array of high-quality products coupled with excellent customer service will make you one satisfied customer...with a beautiful backyard!  :thumbs up:
