Entry #95, May 21, 2010 We are two weeks into our Restoration Hardware Giveaway, and I’ve been getting great feedback. BUT – Here’s the thing, you have to leave your comments, on the comment form for the giveaway! Last week I showed you the great Baby & Child section of Restoration Hardware. How about today…
Entry #88, May 13, 2010 For the last few weeks, I’ve been getting into the preparation mode for summer. I’ve showed you beautiful outdoor furniture from Restoration Hardware. As you get your patio ready for the warmer weather, don’t forget about your summer kitchen. A summer kitchen can be a simple counter, and grill outside,…
Feature #47, April 29, 2010 Can you believe that this is the end of April and May is this weekend? When I think of May, I think of Memorial Day weekend and the “unofficial” start of the summer months. A few weeks ago, I had a post on getting your front porch ready, did you…
Entry #68, April 16, 2010 It has been a long time since I enjoyed sitting outdoors on a spring night. Listening to kids play, and feeling the wind whistle through the trees. (Good visual, huh?) My son went out on our screened porch the other night and just sat in the freshness of the night. …
Entry #63, April 13, 2009 Do you have a porch that is enclosed, and want inspiration on how to decorate it? I always enjoyed visiting our relatives in Philadelphia and seeing the rows and rows of homes, called what else? Row houses! What I liked about my grandmother’s was the front porch. It was fully…
Feature #41, April 12, 2010 In March I had an article on getting your patio ready for the Spring. Did you do it? I’ll be honest, I just started this past weekend really cleaning it off. Once the temperature reaches 80 in Jacksonville – it’s officially time to start working on your patio/porch. I was…
Feature #39, April 10, 2010 Outdoor furniture is one of my new obsessions. If you’re seasoned reader of Stagetecture, you’d realize I’m obsessed with laundry rooms, storage, kitchens and baths.. o.k., getting off topic. Outdoor furniture, also called patio or garden furniture has taken on a life of its own. Always popular for outdoor relaxing…
Feature #37, April 7, 2010 Last week I had a post on creating curb appeal without the ‘curb’, by using window boxes and hanging baskets. Gardening is a topic that most of us think we need to get down in the ground, and plant 50 rows of lush flowers and vegetables. While that sounds heavenly,…
Feature #33 March 27, 2010 Last week, I received so many great comments about my daybeds post. I’m absolutely infatuated with daybeds after Marie Burgos Design featured this great article on outdoor daybeds. If I could spend more times relaxing, and less time stressing, what a pleasant person I would be! I see myself relaxing,…
Entry #48, March 24, 2010 When you think of benches do you think picnic or garden furniture? Benches are still used outdoors, but they’ve also been gaining greater fanfare inside. Use them for seating in a mudroom to a beautiful tucked away niche in a bay window, as window seating. Let’s show you how benches…
Entry #31, March 4, 2010 Patio or garden furniture used to be simple and basic. Rod iron furniture or your grandmother’s wicker patio set were the choices. Today, patio furniture is just as prominent and important as the interior furniture. Restoration Hardware has always had great.. well hardware. From lighting, to fixtures, to great pull…
Entry #30, March 2, 2010 Here’s what I love about Winter, you don’t have to cut your grass, and there is minimal upkeep of your outdoor entertaining area. Here’s what I hate about Winter, you can’t enjoy the outdoors because it’s cold, and everything is brown and gray! Now that March is here, let’s get…
