Do It Yourself

With many homeowners looking for a way to provide modern decoration with function to their backyards, a metallic trellis can be just the touch to add something shiny, weathered, handmade, and functional, to aid in the growth of grape vines, ivy, and other crawling plants along fence lines, in gardens, or wherever. A metallic copper Trellis can look great with other garden features such as pergolas, metallic furniture, and along the length of privacy fence to merge and juxtapose the qualities of wood, metal, earth, and the colors of the foliage.

Got an antique piece of furniture that doesn’t quite fit with the spaces you have available? An old handcrafted desk that doesn’t match the carpet, wood chairs that clash with a metallic table, or ugly barstools that don’t match your stainless steel bar? Even a vase that you bought, love, and want to keep, but don’t know how to repurpose it?

As great as some metals look, as they age (copper, bronze, etc) sometimes our metallic treasures can use a bit of sprucing up after the hard winter months of snow, ice, and the cold - or even just need a face-lift to coordinate with rest of the room or yard that is going through a similar face-lift.

In the past couple of decades, stainless steel has become one of the most popular options available for appliances, and just about anywhere a clean, shiny, durable space is required. People have even started using the stuff in their home kitchens to add masses of appeal, increase the resale value, all while making sure that cleanliness is a top priority. After all, there is no paint to wear off and it won't rust.
