Sometimes the entire direction of a design can rest on a beloved object or color or fabric. Today look at this lawn candy that has me all atwitter!
Plainair.com makes this low sleek exterior sofa - white piping against the blue makes me happy!
Plain Air also makes tile surface tables - the proportions of this one are quite pleasant!
From Bov Studios: nice shape for fire pit or water feature or planting with something architectural like Horsetail.
Same planter used as a fountain - gorgeous!
Love the sculptural shape of this outdoor fireplace from Modfire - less than $600.
Do you have any lawn candy to share? Email me!

I buzzed into The Great Outdoors on South Congress in Austin last week to swoop up some plants for winter pots out back (fav find was artichokes – so gorgeous with their outsized silvery blue leaves) and found myself in the midst of some serious Christmas cheer.

Everyone knows that the Pottery Barn catalog (or maybe Martha Stewart Living) sets the standard for what our holiday entertaining would look like in an ideal world with an endless budget and an uncluttered schedule. Of course we would have a color coordinated Christmas tree instead of a mish-mash of school craft projects, hand-me-down ornaments [...]
