Dear Diary

Temperatures are dropping in South Florida, and that means it’s time to dress up your outdoor spaces in preparation for holiday entertaining. Treat your patio, pool deck or loggia as an extension of your home by layering in accessories, lighting and objects of interest. 

Light It Up. How amazing are these oversized lanterns? They would add the perfect glow and fabulous texture to your backyard space. Insert outdoor battery-operated candles and adorn with seasonal greenery and bows for a traffic-stopping front entryway. We also think the Island Chic Woven Pendants would add instant panache to any al fresco space. 

Let’s Multipurpose. Everyone at your patio party needs a convenient spot to rest a drink, but why not make that spot cute by using a garden stool instead of a boring table? The perfect stool can add so much character and color to a space and they hold up in extreme weather. Offer one up for extra seating or top one with a stack of pool towels or a plant. We have dozens of garden stools to choose from, but we especially like this pair of blue and white cuties. 

Service in Style. Ditch the Yeti. Instead make a big style statement by using something extraordinary like this Huge Faux Clam Shell to serve cold drinks at your next gathering. We promise you will get compliments! 

Layered Personality. The possibilities are endless, but we highly recommend a shell bust. These special pieces are handmade by a local artist who works exclusively with us. This stunner is exactly what every outdoor coffee table or bar needs. 

If you’re looking for some inspiration, just stop by our Warehouse or Showroom, and we will be happy to show you other great pieces that will add that special final touch to your patio.
