A Simple Tasteful Solution

Up the road from our Shop in sunny Hawthorn resides a lovely couple with a couple of young kids and a beautiful home - double fronted Edwardian with a modern extension at the rear.

We could describe them as an archetypal Hawthorn young family who were enjoying there everyday lives when they came to us with a problem that just had to be addressed.

" Help us Sheraz - We need some urns at the bottom of the steps for the front door that don't clash with the house ? "

Lucky for us - solving problems is second nature...

Yes we could have suggested Metal Urns BUT most plants do not do well in Iron or Metal  planters as the metal reacts very badly with the soil medium over time.

Our Solution was to recommend one of our MARBLE URNS (which are a mixture of concrete and crushed Marble) from our Marble & Sandstone Collection and... PAINT them the same color as the house.

Hey Presto - a simple, tasteful solution that is a fun weekend project for the whole family.



Simple , tasteful and it didn't blow the budget.
