Restoration Hardware

Restoration Hardware, my all-time favorite home decor store on the planet, is fantastic! You can find everything from couches to gardening totes, beds to throw pillows, curtains to candles.

And let’s not even start on the style…

Classic, European, intricate designs, with touches of metal and bronze that add a flair of steam punk, and even touches of rustic, slightly country. All combined in such a way that amounts to greatness, nothing less, but possibly something more.

Their outdoor furniture selection is fantastic as well. Just like Crate & Barrel, they make it easy to find your ideal style by listing things under collections. There’s something for everyone, from modern, to country, to coastal.

There’s planters, trellises and arches, fountains, birdbaths, special lighting to bring out your garden, and more. It’s a one stop place to get just about everything you need to make your outdoor space a livable one.

You can even get live topiaries for as cheap as $25. Restoration Hardware has a fascination with these, since they sell them in all shapes and sizes, live or preserved.

So next time you need a touch of elegance in your garden, and only want to haunt one store, Restoration Hardware just might be your place.

Crate & Barrel

When you think of Crate & Barrel, you don’t think gardening. Most of us think furniture, candles, cooking utensils, wedding registry, and so on. It’s the kind of place you’d catch your kids (or in my case, myself) dreaming of their first place. However, it is a good place for gardening too.

It might not be the best place to get your shears, but it is nice to get your outdoor space in tiptop shape.You can find everything from chic planters (fiberstone, zinc, wooden, or your typical plastic ones), to firepits. They also have dining sets, including all styles of tables, chairs, and accessories.

As if that wasn’t enough, they have lounging sets, hammocks, extra seating, and even dinnerware for an added pop of color. Literally, they have everything but the plants.

To make things easy, they have everything listed under collections, so everything that belongs to the same collection can be found with a click. Never, not once, do you have to worry about things not matching anymore.

So next time you see the store, or go in, go to their outdoor collection, or ask an associate. Often times whatever they don’t have in the store, they’ll have in their catalog or online.

Make your garden look nice, and let Crate & Barrel give you a place you can celebrate your hard work.
