Delight is in the Details
Dec 10th, 2009 by Hazel
Okay, where were we? Oh, yes – I was counting the ways in which our outdoor furniture is extraordinarily gracious and obliging; and this, naturally, includes our garden structures, outdoor décor, home accents, and accessories. As I pointed out, this is not just a fair-weather stance, as much of it is designed to stand up to the even the harshest elements of winter; and a lot of it is stylish enough for indoor use.
Moreover, during the holiday season, we all need the cooperation of everyone and everything around us; and that’s another way in which our furniture will help. Besides the outdoor dining tables, porch swings, bar and bistro sets, hammock chairs, kids’ picnic tables, and settees that you can proudly use inside to accommodate guests at your holiday parties, there are many items that lend themselves to your outdoor displays.
Among the leaders in this category are arbors, trellises, and pergolas. I’m not sure, but I may have mentioned these before; but even if I have, they deserve more press. After all, they’ve been garden favorites for centuries, which means that they have endured the test of time, and passed it with flying colors. In fact, they’re famous for flying colors, which are usually those of the gorgeous flowers that climb and envelop them.
Of course, at this time of the year, the colors may be emanating from Christmas lights, which look equally stunning on planters, planter trellises, and planter benches with lattice backs. You can also get very creative in decorating our wheel barrow planters.
Another way to light things up brilliantly is by using our solar-powered post caps, which come in Tiffany-style, clear, and solid-colored glass. On fences, gazebo railings, and garden bridges, they’ll enhance your holiday displays, and make your yard absolutely spectacular all year long.
Indeed, our outdoor furniture can assist with many of the details of your Christmas decorations. Speaking of details, there’s one other thing, of which I was reminded while watching the Charlie Brown Christmas special (don’t bother snickering, because I know you still watch it, too!). Although your dog isn’t as sophisticated as Snoopy, he or she still deserves to share in the holiday fun; so don’t forget to decorate the dog house!
Yours Outdoors,
Kathy
