Pictures from the Southern Ideal Home Show
As I noted on my Facebook page, I spent some time this weekend at the Southern Ideal Home show in Raleigh. I snapped a few pictures of things I thought people might like to see.

This was the first thing I saw when I arrived at the show. This beautiful display of outdoor landscaping was a joint project by Professional Hardscapes and Kiper Landscaping Designs and was easily one of the more striking displays at the show. I can still picture myself in a wicker chair next to the waterfall. |
| This is a fire table from Oriflamme Fire Tables. They have a wide selection of styles that run on propane or natural gas. Personally, I think this would fit in really well with the landscaping job above. not that it gets too cold in NC, but still. |  |

I’ve told my wife for years that one day in the future we would have a nice pool/hot tub. Now, ten years later, it is “the future” and we’re no closer to a pool/hottub. If I did have one built, however, this pool by Rising Sun Pool & Spas might be the one. Put in a heater to warm the water to the right temperature, and I might never leave |
| “Murphy Beds” are a common feature in New York City and other places where space is at a premium. It’s hard to see in the picture, but the bed folds right up into the closet space [where the headboard is]. They aren’t a common in the South, but as people start living in smaller homes again, this is a great option for maximizing space in a guest room. These beds are sold by the Closet Factory. |  |
