Outdoor Living – Small Spaces
by admin on Jan.05, 2012, under Country News, Product of the Week
I get a bit stuck focusing on large-scale projects once and awhile with the 7 acres of “space” I now have to work with. It can sometimes seem overwhelming and I’ve decided to make a few “points-of-interest” on the property – in areas that will probably never be truly tamed!
Some of these same ideas can be considered for designing a smaller outdoor living space. My former property was on around .75 acre and fenced. The residence before that had outdoor living area that consisted of a condo balcony! All still have potential areas you can make your own – here are some great ideas…
Add a water feature anywhere in your yard or garden with this easy-to-install Pebble Fountain. The included reservoir holds up to 20 gallons of water and uses an integrated pump to create a fountain spray that seems to spring directly from the bed of included stones.
Everything you need to add the fountain to your landscaping is included – all you need to do is dig a shallow hole for the reservoir. The pump sits inside the reservoir, and the entire assembly is covered by smooth, multi-colored pebbles (included).
Simply plug the included AC adapter into any available outlet to power the fountain. Simple assembly required.
Size: 22″ dia. x 17″D
Terra Cotta Solar-Powered Cascade Fountain with Ceramic Bowls and Metal Frame
Soothing Fountain Flows With The Sun!
Enjoy the soothing sight and sound of flowing water anywhere there’s sun. Just place the solar panel in a sunny spot and set the Cascade Fountain up to 16′ away and enjoy. Ceramic basin and bowls with a metal frame.
Size: 20-1/2″H x 19″L x 15-3/4″W
Lutyens Eucalyptus English Garden Bench
Hardwood That Withstands The Elements (I’d like about 4 of these benches!)
Inspired by the designs of renowned British architect Sir Edwin Lutyens, this traditional English Garden Bench is crafted using top-quality mortise and tenon joinery. Smooth, high back for seating comfort.
Natural Bench of eco-friendly, weather-resistant eucalyptus features a deep, rich stain that weathers over time to a soft gray. Or stain it occasionally to maintain the warm, rich hues. Painted pieces are constructed of sturdy hardwood. Assembly required.
Available Colors: Green, Natural (Eucalyptus) or White
Size: 48″W x 23″D x 36-1/2″H
None of the items shown require a lot of space, none will break the bank, and each will help you design a unique outdoor space that can provide a bit of sanctuary at the end of a long day.
