In a town not so far away, a designer and landscape architect was called in to help a family that had some serious decor issues out in their backyard. The fence was dilapidated and falling apart and it looked like the deck had not been tended to in quit sometime so the obvious fix was to tear out the old and put up the new.
It was decided that the traditional wooden fence would look the best so it would match the deck. With everything picked out and a contractor chosen to do the work, it didnt take long at all for the process to take place.
Everyone involved did their jobs right down to the cleanup yet the owners were not satisfied with the end results. After talking it over with the contractors, the owners couldnt articulate the problem so the contractor couldnt fix it for them.
What happened next was nothing short of a miracle. The homeowner was wondering around on the internet and happened upon a website bringing everyday value outdoors that had something they had never heard of before in relation to the outdoors; post caps and finials.
They had so much fun looking at all the different styles from solar to decorative post caps and everything in between. Just going through the process of imagining what each one would look like on their deck posts and fence posts, with good taste and bad, created an afternoon of entertainment.
They knew they had to make a decision so they finally chose an island post cap that reminded them of a time when they lived by the sea. They were also able to read about the installation and decided it looked easy enough to do it themselves. Now they sit and imagine themselves living on the waters edge; only without the salt and the sand! Now were theyre thinking life is good!
