You can become one of the beautiful people yourself by simply booking a flight to any of the world's top resorts, places where you're likely to find Pawley's Island hammocks. Or, you can send me the tickets, buy your own hammock and set it up in your back yard.

Like "Great Expectations Theme Park" or "Cannibal River Canoe Adventures." How about Pelican Reef? I'd guess clothing or outdoor gear. How about wicker and rattan? That works! Most beach homes I've been in had some kind of wicker or rattan in the house. It holds up great and it makes everything feel like it belongs. Of course, wicker and rattan aren't just for the beach, but with a name like Pelican Reef you can't help but wonder if relaxing times aren't just around the corner.

Pine Cone Hill products are sold in many major home catalogs and more than 2500 high-end specialty stores across the country. Annie's husband Whitney is also her business partner, overseeing the operations and sourcing side of the business. He matches Annie's designs with the most suitable purveyors, assuring consistent quality in the Pine Cone Hill line. In 2000, Annie created a line of table linens and quilts for Potluck Studios, widely admired for its colorful high-end flowerpots and dinnerware. This new line was so successful that Annie joined forces with Karen Skelton, Potluck's founder. In 2002, Karen joined the Pine Cone Hill/Potluck Studios creative department and the pottery studio was relocated to the Company headquarters in Pittsfield, Massachusetts. Over the past two years, Annie has added personal accessories, custom furniture, sleepwear, and the Wholesome Home/Wholesome Body line of personal and home care products. In 2002 the Company opened a 6,000 square-foot outlet store in nearby Lenox, Massachusetts that sells Pine Cone Hill and Potluck overstocks and seconds."

I've been to Costa Rica and anytime they want me to come down and personally check out the factory, I'm on the next jet. But I digress. Deciding on who to buy outdoor furniture from is very confusing because there are literally dozens of companies, and the quality ranges from superior to just pure junk. Most of the stuff you see in department stores and super stores falls into the last category. Pure junk, imported from who knows where with one thing in mind, low low price to beat the competitor down the street. Unless you go specifically to a pool and patio store, or a quality furniture store, you aren't going to get durable furniture that will last for many many seasons. Pride is one of those companies. The aluminum is rust-free, aircraft grade with internal wall structure. The factory claims it is 30% thicker than their competition, but I don't know who that comparison is against. I can tell you that their full circumfrence welding and hand ground, hand buffed and polished joints indicate a finishing process that puts them in a ranking with some of the top names in the business. They have a good warranty. PRIVATE LABEL 18-C W Cooksey Dr., Thomasville, NC 27360. (800)700-476-7780, Fax (336)476-7780 There's a line from a campy spy movie, "If I told you what I did for a living I'd have to kill you."? Private Label is kind of like that. They make medium quality furniture for stores that want to carry their own brand. The store obviously can't have a master craftsman in the back, hand making your sofa to order. So they do the next best thing. They get Private Label to make it, put the store's name on it, and voila, instant quality with the store's name on it.

You’re not too far off. To get the full picture you have to sit down with their catalog, (bring a hand truck to move it) and spend a couple hours just flipping through the pages. You will find curios and collectors cabinets, corner cabinets, consoles, mirrors and bedroom, gem chests, hall trees, entertainment centers, armoires, bookcases and home office, screens and hand painted items, accessories and various accent pieces. They have one of the largest collections of curio and display cabinets in the world. Their choices in style will offer something for everyone. Console chests are used as accent pieces in a bedroom, guest room, hallway or living room. They are usually fancy or decorated, can often be bombe style, 18th century or french. It is really hard to find a good hall tree anymore. Actually, there just aren’t that many people who use them. But you figure, if only 1/10 of 1% of the population liked them that is still tens of thousands of hall trees. So where can you get one? Pulaski. One of Pulaski’s strong areas is painted furniture. You can get entertainment centers, consoles, cabinets, screens, armoires all with a variety of wonderful scenes. |
