Handcrafted bookend with air plant and personalized string art design. If you love air plants this will be a great addition for your library, office or kids/nursery room. This approximately 5” x 8.75” x 2" solid wood block comes in ambrosia maple wood color finished with a sealer. I do not use stains. It is ready to stand on a shelf and has felt padding at the bottom to protect the furniture. All designs are strung in string colors of your choice to fit the color pallet of your home. For this bookend I've used brass nails and wire, so if you need to water spray the plants the nails won't rust. Each bookend is sold individually. If you would like to purchase a pair let me know what design you are interested in. These are great for supporting a bundle of books. If placed horizontally they should support large amounts of weight as well.

The pool in the backyard of this Omaha home is the perfect place to be on these hot summer days. It was an ideal spot to add outdoor bistro string lighting to create a unique ambiance for those warm summer nights. The light sconces on the wall and illuminating the trees, installed in an earlier phase, increases nighttime safety and creates an aesthetically pleasing backdrop while also increasing security around the pool.

Our clients wanted to create a backyard that would grow with their young family as well as with their extended family and friends. Entertaining was a huge priority! This family-focused backyard was designed to equally accommodate play and outdoor living/entertaining. The outdoor living spaces needed to accommodate a large number of people – adults and kids. Urban Oasis designed a deck off the back door so that the kitchen could be 36” height, with a bar along the outside edge at 42” for overflow seating. The interior space is approximate 600 sf and accommodates both a large dining table and a comfortable couch and chair set. The fire pit patio includes a seat wall for overflow seating around the fire feature (which doubles as a retaining wall) with ample room for chairs. The artificial turf lawn is spacious enough to accommodate a trampoline and other childhood favorites. Down the road, this area could be used for bocce or other lawn games. The concept is to leave all spaces large enough to be programmed in different ways as the family’s needs change. A steep slope presents itself to the yard and is a focal point. Planting a variety of colors and textures mixed among a few key existing trees changed this eyesore into a beautifully planted amenity for the property. Jimmy White Photography
