Chic and Bubbly

Outdoor furniture design at a whole new level! This hammock called "Wave" floods you with comfort and style. Drool over the electro polished stainless steel and perforated fabric....and balance on the one leg only! The "Wave"'s unique wave design modification is designed by Royal Botania , a famous furniture design company.

Sun on my shoulders, warm, black pavement under my purple-painted toenails, and an old ice cream bucket of multicolor chalk at my side...sounds like a summertime favorite summer activity--sidewalk chart art! This impermanent artistic expression has been part of my life since I can remember continues to be so, but now with nieces, nephews, and (okay okay) me and my husband too! Learn how to pass on this warm-weather ritual, read How to Play Creatively with Sidewalk Chalk Art! Step on a crack, get a creative whack! And know that art is in the eye of the beholder...just as Julian Beever, a pavement drawer  for over 20 years. He knows what it takes to be bubbly!

'Tis the season for Drop By'ers so make 'em feel comfy 'n cozy while their stay with you. Find a chair with character and display it in your spare bedroom with a few fine items found in a high-end hotel room. "Set out essentials such as towels and an alarm clock, then provide little luxuries as well: bottles of water, foil-wrapped chocolates, and a few cut blooms in a vase."
