12.Bean Bag Suspender Chair
This is a lot like an egg chair, except it is basically a lay-back-and-swing chair. Don’t expect to stay awake long.
13.Suspended cooking pit
If you have a space in your back yard, try this, but make sure it is very sturdy.

Who says pictures have to go on the wall? If wall space is at a premium, or if you just want to do things your way, clip your artwork to strong strings suspended from the ceiling. Have them really make a statement.
