tree artwork at ABC Carpet and Home

While I was in New York last month covering ICFF, I was able to stop by ABC Carpet & Home for the first time. I snapped a picture of this great art display they had on the wall that ahd all these trees images scattered about. I couldn't find out who the artist was, but if anyone knows, let us know!

Amish Poly Lumber Fan Back Chair

If you're looking for a little home-y style faux bois for your patio or lawn, check out this Amish Poly Lumber Fan Back Chair, from Dutch Crafters. It's made of "Poly Lumber", a wood subsititue made from recycled materials, that won't splinter, rot, fade or warp. It's mildew resistant and termite resistant. Available here. We think they're pretty cute!
