I love how your deck looks including the umbrella stand on wheels. I have to find one like that because I get so frustrated not being able to move this one. It all looks so beautiful.Blooming Rose Musingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06927029523022093567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8087985679708902082.post-29338394046221730562010-08-15T16:12:41.706-04:002010-08-15T16:12:41.706-04:00I am very impressed!

I visited the Brown Jordan showroom in Laguna Niguel, CA last month, and really love their outdoor furniture; I get the impression that the price point is lower than Janus, but not by a ton. I love their mesh back aluminum furniture, so light but hardy - truly lasts forever.<br /><br />I asked my designer if we could pick out the outdoor furniture now, and put it in my current house as my dog chewed all of my synthetic wicker furniture when he was a puppy (he looks very much like your dog - even puts his paw that way!), but she said that she wanted me to start fresh.<br /><br />But - I need something for this house - the outdoor spaces are a huge selling point (I have a screened room that extends the liveable space) and I might march myself down to Sears and see what they have!Things That Inspirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04405995431610377305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8087985679708902082.post-79780969455407850022010-08-14T21:49:00.673-04:002010-08-14T21:49:00.673-04:00this is so pretty!!! i especially love the shot w...this is so pretty!!! i especially love the shot with the white table cloth. <br /><br />and thanks for your comment. i think i actually "borrowed" a few of your scans of donna's house!!! hehe. can't remember where I got them but it might have been your blog. send the blog police my way with handcuffs!!!! ;)cotedetexashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06421509668956556785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8087985679708902082.post-67072165199721777852010-08-14T21:47:31.172-04:002010-08-14T21:47:31.172-04:00I love it all.

I've purchased Sears Craftsman tools for years and only very recently discovered quality and beautifully designed home items at Sears, too---I didn't bother to look! My interior designer friends don't believe me when I tell them so.
