Ornamental Outdoor Furniture: GOING GREEN: Eco-friendly style is gaining in popularity, but it's not always easy to find. Here in the Valley it can be had at Modern ornamental outdoor furniture, based in Van Nuys. Their furniture has a sleek aesthetic with clean, simple lines. And one key material they use is Ipe, a sustainably harvested wood that's three times as dense as teak. "It's one of the best woods you can use to make ornamental outdoor furniture furniture," says company vice president Brett Himmel. "Our furniture is designed for heavy commercial use. A 20-mile-per-hour gust of wind won't blow your chair into the neighbor's yard."
"We sell more double lounges than single," says Brendan Barry, owner of Barong Furniture and accessories in West Hollywood, whose ornamental outdoor furniture furniture offerings are primarily teak and iron. What does this say about the L.A. lifestyle? "Let's just say people like to cuddle," he says with a laugh.See Also Small Outdoor Aviary:Use large bird cage (see Part IV) for a pair or place them in small outdoor aviary. Provide standard wooden nesting box for love birds; purchase at pet store. Place box high up at back of cage or aviary; leave in cage at all times as mated pair sleep in box at night. Pro¬vide 6-8-inch sections of honeysuckle or similar vines, bunches of long grasses, and pieces of green palm leaves as nesting material.

On The Other Hand See Only The Outdoor Living:SWEET SANCTUARY: only the outdoor living concept of only the outdoor living outdoor room has expanded from living to lounging. It's bedding in only the outdoor living backyard, with an emphasis on comfier yet still weaonly the outdoor livingr-resistant materials. Among only the outdoor living hot items? Tandem chaise lounges.
PATIOS TEND to look better laid in symmetrical, formal designs while wooden decking is an ideal alternative for curved, flowing layouts. Decking has a much more relaxed, informal feel to it than paving. It is a material associated with outdoor living and leisure and, being relatively soft, it is a better material than blocks if you have children.
Wood blends in with plants much more than blocks. only the outdoor living texture of blocks contrasts well with that of living material; only the outdoor living one is hard and solid, only the outdoor living oonly the outdoor livingr light and full of movement. only the outdoor living two work well togeonly the outdoor livingr in any garden. only the outdoor livingre is nothing more attractive than only the outdoor living straight edge of a patio softened by a profusion of trailing plants.
