Color brings interest to any garden and designer, Joe Ruggiero uses Sunbrella, Trax/Persimmon in his own garden. “I like the pop of color. This Trax/Persimmon fabric looks the same as it did when I first installed it ten years ago. The California sun is brutal but Sunbrella can take the heat.” The furniture is all from The Joe Ruggiero Collection for Terra and is called Chelsea. Faux Bamboo design in a Rust finish.

I like to create projects with my grand daughter. Here I used old magazine clippings and paper to create houses and dolls. So easy and fun with a child helping.
