Greetings!
  
 

Warm weather has finally arrived in Colorado! After a couple of great snow storms, I am happy to say that things are turning green, something we did not see last year with all the wildfires. The Crocus are all over the place and wildlife is abundant. 

 

Last week we listened to a mountain lion in the trees calling to some deer. We have hummingbirds, frogs, and lots of deer. And yes, the bears are out.

Dwayne is going to have surgery at some point. He has a nerve in his elbow that has to be relocated to stop his hand from throbbing and going numb. The good news is that there is no permanent damage, the bad news is the recovery takes 6 weeks.

 

Well, being the tough guy he is, he has decided to wait until after the summer for surgery. We're just happy that it can be repaired.

With that being said, he is working away in the shop. We have thought about getting some help, but he is such a perfectionist and he likes to do things his way. We will just have to see how it goes.

Right now he is building up an inventory for the gallery in Sedona, getting ready for the Downtown Denver Art Festival, and filling orders for our customers.

 


  

To Cushion or Not to Cushion

 

 Chairs with Cushions

 

Before sitting in one of our stone chairs people comment that they just don't think stone would be comfortable. Once they sit in one of our chairs the first thing people end up saying is "wow this is comfortable!"

 

 

Our chairs have been designed to support your body and when the chairs have been sitting in the sun they will become warm and relaxing. When a metal chair sits in the sun it heats up to a point where it is too hot to sit on it. Ouch!

 

Stone chairs look beautiful and add to the surroundings. There are, however, those that wonder "Can I use cushions with my stone chairs?"

  

 

The answer is yes! A standard sized cushion that you would use with other furniture will fit our chairs as well. Because of the nature of the stone the cushions will not slip and slide and the cushions will add an additional level of comfort and fashion. If you want to match the cushions with other furniture, you can easily do that. Since you don't have to have special cushions for the stone furniture, you can rotate your cushions or change the color and style whenever you prefer. Use bold vibrant hues or quite subtle tones, coordinate your umbrella and add throw pillows. When your cushions look old, worn out, or perhaps you just want a new look, it is a snap to change the look of your furniture. 

 

The stone furniture chairs will always remain solid and maintenance free, offering the highest quality and durability leaving you with the option of adding your own touch with cushions.

 

A stone chair is no harder than a wood chair because neither wood nor stone give, but wood will eventually wear out and splinter.
  
So to cushion or not to cushion is up to you. Either way your stone furniture will be comfortable, beautiful and long lasting. The easy part is leaving your furniture out year round and just adding the cushion, or not.

Dwayne's Artist Statement:
 
 

My rock chairs have been compared to something found on the set of the Flintstones, but great care is given to ensure they are both aesthetically pleasing and comfortable. The stone added to discarded steel results in functional furniture inspired by Mother Nature. They are not only weatherproof, but integrate easily into landscapes and cityscapes without intruding on the surrounding beauty.

Happy Father's Day to all the Dads!
 
 
With all the crazy weather patterns and environment change, we feel like it is more important than ever to buy things once, and cut back on waste and pollution in the world. We come from a generation where things were made to last and built here in the USA. 
  
We deeply belive in creating a quality product that does not need to be replaced. When you order  furniture from us, it's not mass produced in a factory and it comes with a lifetime guarantee. We realize that Stone 2 Furniture can be an investment, but it is a quality product, it is beautiful, one-of-a-kind and chances are, your neighbor is not going to have the same furniture. It also saves you time and money because you never have to do a thing to it.
  
  
  
Please let us know if we can ever be of service. We do custom work and are happy to help you create your dream backyard oasis.
 
We hope to see you this weekend in Denver at the Art Festival!
 
Until next month, we wish you the very best.
