Paula Deen's Magazine Raises the Bar for Backyard Style with Outdoor Cushions and Furnishings from Online Commerce Group

Online, April 21, 2011 (Newswire.com) - In the May/June issue of Cooking with Paula Deen magazine, Online Commerce Group, LLC, (OCG) a website development company and e-tailer of outdoor living products, performs a backyard makeover and creates a functional patio space for entertaining.

OCG's websites supply elegant, superior-quality indoor and outdoor fabrics and furnishings to residential and commercial markets. OCG's flagship site, Cushion Source, provided the magazine with custom Sunbrella Castanet Beach chaise lounge cushions. These fabrics can withstand outdoor conditions and stains, while maintaining their rich hues and textures. The magazine also features a set of teak chaise lounges from Teak Furniture Outlet, a patio umbrella and square stand from Umbrella Source and a teak planter from Planter Supply, all of which are wholly-owned subsidiaries of OCG.

"OCG is proud to partner with Paula Deen's magazine. Our fabrics' reputable name, variety of colors and textures and resistance to fading makes Cushion Source the ideal choice for the magazine's outdoor living space feature. Deen's design team used custom outdoor cushions, teak furniture and shade accessories to create a unique backyard patio, which is why our sites are successful- we provide customers options to customize their backyard. With celebrity support, our company has the opportunity to reach a broader customer base and expand this niche market. This type of outreach and recognition makes us a leading supplier in custom outdoor design," said Scott McGlon, President and CEO of OCG.
