My advice -- WAIT until you have spent some time in it to see what you really need/want. If this is a vacation place, you don't need the same amenities that you need at your weekday/full-time plac...
Just some comments from someone who has made too many mistakes buying outdoor chairs:
1) Regarding 'surpisingly heavy' comment under C&B chairs. I have heavy outdoor chairs that are h...
My R&B sofa started sagging after a few months (only on the most used cushion). My sofa is leather, though, so no way to wash the cover. After much re-fluffing/flipping/cushion switching, I am al...
I don't understand what these are for. Seriously, and I am not being condescending, what is the purpose? If they are in lieu of coasters, wouldn't a knitted one just get wet and transfer the wate...
Most homes at the Jersey Shore have an outdoor shower -- most with walls & a door, but no roof. You can put 3 or 4 kiddies in there, get the suits off, rinse off the little bottoms and get them in...
I think this is why they call it a 'washbasin' and not a sink. In a sink, we spit toothpaste and my husband shaves (can you imagine wiping out all the little black beard hairs from this thing??). ...

I looked for similar pillows for 2 years -- then finally found them at Area in Lambertville NJ. They are gorgeous, plush velvet stripes on a canvas fabric. Since then, I have seen cheaper versio...
Someone once told me they got metal furniture repainted at Maaco ... the car painting place. I don't think its powder coated, but car paint is pretty tough.
Does anyone know of a source to commission an art student, or starving artist for a painting? I have a pretty huge wall that I want a single painting for -- I don't have enough $ for a "serious" p...

The Vizio VECO320L comes in white (and it's Energy Star). I am saving for this one!
I saw the same turquoise-colored trash can in Homegoods last night. Love these colors together -- so happy & beachy
