If you like to garden then you have probably thought about getting a greenhouse to let you pursue your gardening hobby throughout the entire year. However, there are so many things to consider as well as products to choose from that it can be down right crazy! I know because I was there just a year ago and though I looked at many different brands and sizes, I decided on an EasyGrow greenhouse because I felt it was something I could put together with my husband and have a good solid greenhouse.

There are so many different materials that post caps can be made of and you can always find one that can match any color of the home.

I was tired of having a backyard that was dull and flat as a pancake and was overdue and ready for a change. I cannot tell you how wonderful my new backyard is! I was fortunate to be able to hire a landscaping consultant who helped me plan and pick out all the things I wanted in my yard. She was amazing! I was also able to determine, with her help what I could do myself and what I needed someone else to do for me and I was surprised how much I was able to do on my own. I bought, assembled and installed a metal garden arbor all by myself and found I could do a lot of what needed to be done. Read more »

Sailor’s flight of fancy. Sailing In The Afternoon tapestry, based on a work by Borafull, is an ingenious creation. In the foreground, two sailors are shown piloting a smart sloop around the island of Manhattan. The sails are full, the boats lists slightly as it slices through the steel gray waters and past one of New York City’s iconic bridges. In the background, a number of tall buildings can be seen. One can imagine people in those offices gazing with longing at the boat and envying the sailors their freedom. Borafull used a modern palette of blues, tans and grays with only a single pop of red from a small waterside warehouse. His pastiche of paint and collage has been rendered in this tapestry in amazing detail. This is truly a unique and arresting work of art. Read more »
