Another Friday, another Find...  If you don't always want to get a new piece of furniture, you have an alternative:  reuse existing items!  New is great but used has character!  I've found this beautiful, classic rocking chair online here.   

Design description: A chair should allow freedom of movement and accommodate more than one sitting position. Hans J. Wegner has long held this view so it was only natural that his attention be drawn to the design of rocking chairs. Commonly known by its model number - J16 - this rocker has been in continuous production since it was designed in 1943.

The J16's seat is hand-woven in natural-colored rope. It comes in solid beech that is treated with natural lacquer. Was purchased from the infamous Fillamento on Fillmore street in 2001 very good condition, just wont fit in our tiny house. Classic modern piece with great comfort and design.

24.8" W x 36.6" D x 42.13" H (16.54" seat height)

If you think the best way to have a green garden is with a huge expanse of lawn, you’re like most people. Lawns are a part of our culture, and are a ubiquitous feature of front yard landscaping. Unfortunately, they also need a lot of water to maintain their lush good looks, and water is a precious commodity in sunny California.

So, how can you maintain your yard’s good looks without that gorgeous lawn? The answer is simple – get creative and go with native, drought-resistant plants.  I was recently inspired by the wonderful landscaping at the Dierberg Winery (http://www.dierbergvineyard.com/) tasting room up in Santa Barbara County. Simple outcroppings of sage and lavender, coupled with rock lined beds and bark, really worked well together.
