Handpainted Umbrellas for the Garden

Filed under: Decor

One of the reasons I love working from home is the fact that I can step outside and enjoy the beautiful summer weather whenever the mood strikes me, and you can bet my patio furniture sees plenty of use. To that end I would love to get one of these Handpainted Garden Umbrellas to sit under once the heat of July and August hits -- they're so artistic and beautiful in earthy tones of parchment, sage, and mahogany. And if you're into evening parties you can get them with a light up under the canopy. $1,599 - $1,999

MacKenzie Childs Cakewalk Visiting Bench

Filed under: Decor


I am always interested in how an artist decides upon a name for a work. Some are obvious, others not so much. In this case, I believe the Cakewalk Visiting Bench looks a bit like a well-decorated pastry. Made from Birch, Poplar and Fir woods, there is so much going on with this bench, you almost don't know where to look first. The bench is hand-painted and makes use of a variety of materials, including glass beaded fringe, ribbons, wallpaper, several different fabrics and even some paper. At 64 inches long, it will comfortably seat two and the attached battery-operated candlestick light creates a cozy spot for enjoying a cup of tea with your visitor. $5,200.

Handpainted Vintage Bowling Pins

Filed under: Decor

While they might not live up to the standard set by private bowling rooms, these handpainted vintage bowling pins make interesting accents - if not necessarily playable pieces - for the home or garden. Each of the pins is carved from solid mahogany and has been hand-painted with bold colors and designs with careful attention to detail. The pins are sold in a set of six, so if you are inspired to try playing with them, you'll have to order two sets. We recommend keeping these as decorations, and heading out to the real lanes if you want to bowl, though. Price: $190.
