This eye-catching bit of nautical whimsy is perfect for that beach-themed retreat on the back deck. New this year, the Sawgrass Mills® Underwater outdoor rug is crafted of handhooked DuraCord®, the industry’s most stain-resistant fiber. Tough against weather and sun (and mold and mildew resistant), DuraCord has durability matched only by its cottony softness. The rug comes in 5x8-foot and 8x10-foot sizes.

The AmbiLog from HearthSense is setting a new standard in vent-free gas-log technology. It features realistic concrete logs cast from real wood, a large glowing ember bed and rich flames, but it is the ambient-light technology that truly separates the AmbiLog from all other logs on the market today. No longer does your fireplace have to become a dark hole in your living space during the warmer months; now, ambient-light technology affords you the ability to enjoy warmth from your fireplace without all the heat. The AmbiLog uses patent-pending ambient-light technology. Contact: (770) 434-1154 or www.usaprocom.net.
