Or is it wonder?…
Frontgate’s new Outdoor Book just came and the visuals are so great!!
They just make you want to wander with your thoughts and wish you were in every outdoor scene, sitting, relaxing, soaking in the warmth and enjoying the stress-free day!
Wouldn’t you want to be here?!

Than here?!

Here in the Northeast, as we just got blasted with one last winter spell of freeze warnings, frost and wind-chill-factors of 10 degrees (!), it is so nice to think of actual spring, and the warm weather that is hopefully upon us as this post publishes.
Frontgate has done such a tremendous job of setting the visual scene that coordinates with each of their collection names.
The scenes truly make your mind wander with thoughts of travel during warm months to these various locations, spanning across the US to the Caribbean to Europe: Pasadena, Palermo, Sedona, Charleston, Orleans, Hampton, Barcelona, Sorrento, Ravello, Provence, Hyde Park, Belize, Havana, St. Kitts, just to name a few of the 145 total. It’s hard to pick a favorite, but California Wine Country always appeals.


This is modular furniture but if you like curvaceous circular, they’ve got that style covered too.


And streamline too…

Let’s say pattern is your thing, well how appropriate with a collection with reference to Versace, we imagine.

And color, here you go…perfect for a Caribbean retreat. This should have you thinking, “Where are my daiquiris?”

Of course, we’re drawn to anything that reminds us of our New Orleans hometown heritage.
This image has us saying, “Veranda, what veranda? Just let us live outdoors!”

In fact, we like to pay tribute to the outdoors too.
Our Gulf Coast Mural with individual panels that can be purchased separately pays tribute (literally) to Nature and New Orleans, with 10% proceeds donated to ongoing Gulf Coast Recovery efforts. This effort helps to build up and protect The Gulf Coast shoreline and Bywater areas that help prepare and prevent another Hurricane Katrina –“big storm” type disaster. Although hurricane season doesn’t officially start until June 1st, this recent “cold blob” can affect it.

And that means anything coastal as well…This Hampton Collection covers the design sensibility of the North and Southern quadrant. Love those shell pillows!

Adding any coastal designs to your space, will make you think that spring is definitely here and summer is right around the corner.



Or take your mental wandering to the tropics!

However you get your mental mind wandering to at least believe it is spring, we think the answer to the top question is that great visuals can set the stage to make your mind wander and wonder where you’d like to be.
Even if it is the beach in your mind or on your wall, we hope you’ll enjoy the trip that visuals can bring.
