Steal of the Day: Painted Adirondack Chairs
I love Adirondack chairs for their distinctive and comfortable shape, and I love them even more when they're found at a ridiculously reasonable price. This Painted Adirondack Chair ($99, regularly $169) from Smith and Hawken is a fabulous steal, though plenty of other folks have realized that as well: while the chair was available in sage, white, and red, only the red color is still available. Crafted from durable, weather-resistant acacia and rubberwood, the chairs also feature galvanized hardware and are painted with a matte acrylic.
And the Winner Is...
Jastyck!
Congratulations to Jastyck, who won Smith & Hawken's 12 Months of Flowering Plants ($459). I hope she enjoys her year of flowers, and keeps them good to grow.
Steal of the Day: Fleur-de-Lys Window Boxes
I was just looking out my bedroom window the other morning and thinking about how a window box would improve the view. And since I'm also a fleur-de-lys fan, this Smith and Hawken window box offers me everything I could possibly want in a flower box — including a reduced price tag. These sturdy steel Fleur-de-Lys Window Boxes ($119-$159) would look great wherever they were placed, whether in a New Orleans Creole or a Cape Cod beach cottage.

Cool Idea: Twelve Months of Flowering Plants
If you're the type of shopper that tires of new purchases easily and runs out to shop some more, Smith & Hawken's Twelve Months of Flowering Plants ($459) will keep you happy year long.

Unfussy Fall Wreaths
Most of you don't bother much with changing your decor along with the seasons, but I'm always looking for excuses to switch things up and add some new home accents. Right now, I've been on the hunt for a charming and chic wreath that will look autumnal but not old-fashioned.
I'm torn between the sophisticated full foliage options, simple acorn-and-stick adornments like this Smith & Hawken Fall Leaf and Acorn Wreath ($99), or one very cool wreath made out of herbs.
