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!

A Spark client is considering a structure for her firepit/conversation area so I went to one of my favorite [...]
