How about a living table for your outdoor dining, complete with a rivulet down the middle? This striking table caught my eye as I scrolled through my Pinterest feed the other day. It looks to be constructed of COR-TEN steel and would be a permanent structure wherever it were built. It would certainly be a [...]
As part of my membership in Troy-Bilt’s Saturday6, I am given the opportunity to give away one of their products each season.
