Outdoor cedar furniture

by

I’m sure many of my readers have lovely gardens, and patios from which to sit and enjoy their gardens. Others might not have full gardens, but you might have a nice apartment or condo balcony that you’ve added potted plants to and have tried to create a nice area to relax in.

What kind of furnishings do you use in your yard, patio or balconies? If you need more outdoor furniture or if it’s time for a change you might want to take a look at the various types of outdoor wood furniture that is being sold at Adams All Natural Cedar.

I don’t know about you, but I really like Adirondack chairs and cedar tables. The chairs are comfortable and I like the color of the wood.

If you also like lovely outdoor wood furniture do take a moment and visit Adams All Natural cedar. It seems they carry quite an impressive selection of items. Just looking in the Patio section of the site I see listings for Wicker furniture, barstools, cedar chairs and loungers, potting benches, outdoor storage, gable vents, cedar planters, Garden benches, Garden bridges, Garden trellis accents, Dog and cat houses, Swings and Gliders, Outdoor rockers, outdoor tables, mailboxes, door mats, flower window boxes, log furniture, arbors and pergolas and much more.

If you were to purchase some furnishings from Adams you’d also receive free ground shipping if you live within the U.S. contiguous 48 states. I can imagine that it’s not cheap to ship wooden furniture so it’s nice that they offer free ground shipping to customers.

Visit the site if you are looking for outdoor furniture. I’m pretty sure you’ll enjoy the selection.






Still looking for the perfect mailbox

by

I’m still on the hunt for the perfect wall mounted mailbox for our house. The lid on ours doesn’t even close anymore unless you push down on it firmly. It’s becoming a pain! It’s also creaky and noisy so when the mailman comes around and leaves new mail, if I’m not expecting it the sound of the mailbox lid can make me jump out of my skin!

Lately I’ve been looking at Whitehall Mailboxes. I really like the variety of styles, and they look like they are well made quality mailboxes.

There’s a really nice looking wall mounted bronze mailbox that I really like on the Whitehall mailboxes site. It looks tasteful and elegant and it seems to come with house numbers as well. An added bonus I’d say.

The mailbox that I like is on sale too. In fact, all of the Whitehall mailboxes are on sale. They make wall mounted mailboxes, custom mailboxes, and personalized mailboxes, as well as mailboxes on a post, street side mailboxes and slot mailboxes.

Check the site out if you are looking for a new mailbox too.

We need a new mailbox

by

It’s the time of year that many people start to do their spring cleaning. Spring cleaning doesn’t involve just cleaning the inside of the home of course. It can be cleaning the garage and I think it should probably include all of the regular types of indoor and outdoor maintenance we do for our homes too. Whether that’s re-painting the fence, staining the deck, or doing a little bit of work on the indoor plumbing. Spring just seems the time when we do those tasks.

One of the things that I’d like to do this spring is get a new mailbox. I tried to convince my husband that we needed a new one last year but he in turn convinced me that we didn’t. It turns out that I was right. The lid squeaks like crazy when we open up the mailbox to retrieve our mail and it actually stays open instead of falling closed. I think our mailman has given up on our mailbox because he just leaves it open all the time now.

I visited a site called Mailboxixchange and they have a lot of great choices in mailboxes. They have everything from mailboxes on posts, to wall mounted mailboxes – that’s the kind I need, and of course mailslots.

The mailbox designs are very nice. They have everything from antique styles to modern styles with copper finish. The site has given me some great ideas. Now to decide just which one we should get.
