I bought these hammock swings for the old house, and then realized I really didn't have a place to hang them! So when we moved in-- and had time to catch our breath-- it was one of the first things I wanted to do. The girls have loved having these hammocks out, they're a great place to read or chill or watch the beans grow. This spot is in the shade and not far outside the office window, so it's really perfect for the girls to run to when they're tired of the school room.
