Chuck's Favorites

As you may know, Courtyard Lifestyle is an outgrowth of Chuck Chewning's interior design vision.  Here's a collection of some of his favorite things.

"I fell in love with the Mario Luca Giusti Italian melamine and acrylic products. I love to entertain and these are not only beautiful but safe for use indoors and outside!"

"The fur throw is made by a dear friend at her family's company in Ireland. When she learned I was opening a store, she sent over a throw to see how it would do, and every time we sell one, she sends a new creation!"

"Lanterns are an entertaining must for me  - they add light and movement to parties indoors and out.  I also use them as centerpieces, with flowers, ornaments, and more.  Here's a selection of some of my favorites."

"Orchids are a wonderful thing to give and receive, but I don't have the best of luck keeping them alive.  I initially wasn't sure about faux, but these life-like orchids have changed my mind!"

"These Paraguan leather-covered coolers are fantastic, as well as having a great story behind them. The company's founder uses the proceeds to help fund educational scholarships for Paraguan youth."
