I work at the intersection of design, horticulture, culture, and systems—helping people and institutions think clearly, act deliberately, and create lasting impact.

Projects like this get me in trouble with my husband.  The makeover is so compelling and beautiful that I find myself constantly shopping pieces to magically make over with some powder coating and new strapping.   Trouble is, reality sets in and I almost never get things finished as fast I hope.

If you are the same, perhaps leaving the dirty work to experts is a better idea.  Potted, an LA based garden and design shop took care of the dirty work on this little set.  I think they did a fabulous job — the fresh tomato red is a near universally good garden color to spice up a variety of  different garden schemes.

    I have a rectangular table without the glass top…what would you suggest I replace the top with?

      I would check with local glass suppliers and replace the glass (tempered, shatterproof, table top glass), unless you want a different look, then really, there are lots of options….wood (or wood products) are first to mind – perhaps painting it something fun and appealing to you.
