Get off the fence
LifeTime Lumber, a leader in wood-alternative and eco-friendly fencing, can help simplify outdoor decision-making.
Offering the aesthetically appealing appearance of wood, yet weather resistant and easily maintained, LifeTime Lumber’s log alternative can be used in a multitude of venues — from residential to municipal and commercial use.
Recently, LifeTime Lumber supplied 6,500 feet of fencing for one North Carolina family’s 15-acre horse property. According to property owner Robert Pollard, he chose Lifetime Lumber based on “its good looks, low maintenance and green story.”
Owners may choose to keep a uniform look throughout their property by using the fire-resistant product in the construction of docks and decks. LifeTime Lumber offers competitive pricing, starting at $10.50 per lineal foot. Visit LifetimeLumber.com for more.
Ancient Art
‘A thing of the past’ is now a thing of the future thanks to Eostone Natural Stone Artifacts. The exclusive collection of fossil art, dating back 50 million years, is being offered as a focal point of design for homeowners.
Prehistoric palms, crocodiles, turtles and a variety of fish were unearthed from a quarry in southwestern Wyoming, before being set in limestone, which enhances the natural texture and color of each fossil.
Whether transforming the fossils into grand murals or tile work, each project is different and exudes its own character. According to Eostone Co-founder Gregg Whittecar, the company is currently enveloping one client’s 20-foot-high floating fireplace in fossil tiles. “When the project is complete, the fossilized fish will look like they are swimming in schools across the fireplace.”
Take Tuscany Home
A bite of a cannoli, a sip of an espresso and relaxing on outdoor furniture from Tuscan Hills: It’s your own Little Italy.
Founded in 2003, Tuscan Hills is an importer of handmade Italian home furnishings from Tuscany and Umbria, Italy. Tuscan Hills’ outdoor furnishings showcase splendid wrought iron and travertine materials that are unparallel in authenticity. The furnishings range from $4,800 for a travertine tabletop and base with six chairs to more than $14,000 for a gazebo, table and chairs.
“We want our clients to understand and appreciate the quality of the product they have purchased, and recognize that the pieces that they now own will last a lifetime,” says owner Greg Evans. “And, of course, we’d like them to experience just a small part of the Tuscan lifestyle without the airfare.”
