It's easy to make an interesting and beautiful lawn or garden display when you start with something basic and expand upon it. You can use many different things that you may already have just sitting around your property - perhaps an unused wheel barrow or old mail box. It can be anything that you can use to plant in or around. Then add interesting and contrasting flowers, greenery, and rocks to complete your feature display. Let your creative juices flow, and, just have fun. At Alice's Outdoor Emporium, we have some attractive planters that you can use as a starting point.
Our Country Flower Cart Planter makes an excellent backbone for a display. You can put potted plants and greenery on the cart, making it very easy to get started. Behind the cart, it would look interesting to plant bushes or other larger greenery or flowers. Put some smaller plants or large, colorful rocks in front of the cart and you have the makings for a dynamite display.
The Wagon Wheel Planter practically qualifies as a display just as it is with your favorite plants added. This charming, rustic planter has a big wagon wheel base and small wheel top. It has four good sized buckets suspended from the top with room for plenty of greenery and flowers. It's weathered finish makes it look like a cherished antique and it can be used just about anywhere on your property to add color and interest. Come visit our Emporium for more ideas on how to make your yard a treasured oasis.

Relax and Set 'a Spell
When the weather gets nice it's pleasant to shake off the cobwebs and get outdoors to enjoy some fresh air and sunshine. There's no better way to get a little pleasure out of life than to sit down and read a good book or just enjoy some simple communion with nature. At Alice's Outdoor Emporium, we have a nice collection of benches that will be handsome additions to your garden, porch or patio. It's easy to pick a style that will suit both your personality and property.
One of my favorites is the Garden Bench with Pop-Up Center Table. More than large enough to comfortably seat two, it has a special center section that pops up to form a small center table. It is so convenient and perfect for holding drinks, snacks or a book, when you're finished, just push it back down. Simple, but elegant, this bench can be at home just about anywhere.
If you would like something sophisticated and unusual, the Summer Sun Garden Bench is both lovely and unique. This sturdy iron bench has a beautiful bronze toned powder coat finish. The beauty of it lies in it's swept back that has a stunning sun face medallion with sunrays radiating from it. You will want to put this bench in a place of honor for all to see.
If you don't have a lot of space and need versatile furniture, we have the perfect solution for you. Our Interchangeable Bench/Picnic Table. You can't believe it until you see it, but, it does truly convert easily from one to the other. When you're cooking outdoors, it's the perfect picnic table - it even has a hole in the center for an umbrella. When you're done, just lift an end up and over, and, it becomes a cozy garden bench. Extremely handy and handsome, made from fir and hardwoods.

Romantic Warmth
We all know how pleasant it can be to sit around a campfire at night and tell stories, snuggle up, or just gaze at the flames. You can bring this romantic ambience to your patio or yard with a fire pit. A fire pit will allow you to enjoy the sensation of a campfire right at home safely and easily. The only requirement is that they do not directly touch combustible surfaces. If you are putting one on a wooden deck or patio, use concrete pavers, bricks or stone between the firepit and the surface.

It will help you enjoy the outdoors in cooler weather and it is as attractive as it is functional. It includes a high domed heat resistant fire screen cover and a screen lifting tool.

Adirondack Chairs, Affordable Comfort
Adirondack chairs are a popular and comfortable choice for seating and have been around for a little more than a hundred years. They were invented by Thomas Lee in 1903, he owned a summer home in Westport, New York which is located in the heart of the Adirondack Mountains. He needed outdoor furniture, and, after some experimentation, he came up with the simple design of a straightback chair set at a slant. This design proved to work exceptionally well in mountainous terrain and has managed to become an American classic.
At Alice's Outdoor Emporium, we have a collection of affordable Adirondack furniture to enjoy in your yard or on your patio. A great way to relax outdoors, these chairs are very durable and will provide you with years of faithful service.
