Garden Trellises
Garden trellises add a great deal of charm to your outdoor space. You can use trellises to help define one area from the next or to create private spaces within the garden setting. Train climbing roses and ivy up your trellises or hang individual baskets from the grates. Whatever you do your trellises are bound to add beauty and architectural interest to your landscape design.
Accent Architecturals has beautiful trellises in a number of designs to suit your individual style. Our perspective trellises are made to mount to walls and give the look of depth. You'll almost think they are leading you on to another area. Choose from our Venetian Perspective trellises or perhaps our Double Roman Arch perspective set for a dramatic affect on your garden space.
If you prefer a simpler garden accent, perhaps you'd like our Arched Lattice Panel trellises. These are lovely pieces, yet very basic, adding interest to your space without demanding the attention of the larger trellises. And you can still train greenery to them to increase their appeal.
If your taste runs more to the eclectic why not have a look at our Scroll Leaf Trellises. Made from beautiful wrought iron these trellises add a lot of character wherever you choose to use them. They are a perfect addition to any patio and stand on their own.
As you can see trellises offer beauty and versatility to your outdoor areas. Why not take the time to look at our complete collection of trellises and see if one isn't the perfect accent for your garden?

Adding Impact With Sconces
Sconces can add light and interest to those gloomy areas in your home. Traditionally sconces were the main source of home lighting before the advent of electricity. And even though they're not truly needed today the warm glow from candle sconces brings a certain ambiance in any room you choose to use them.
Our Parisian Spires and Sconces bring a sense of European flair to your home decor. The shape of the Eiffel Tower with fleur de lis accents directly inspires the main wall pieces. The sconces are meant to be mounted on the wall beneath. Choose from many custom finishes including Ebony, Gold Copper Beige, Coffee and Mission Pewter. Picture these sconces on either side of a fireplace mantel or bookcase.
Our Oxford Sanctuary Sconces are even more dramatic. An elegantly carved double bracket wall piece is topped with an ornate finial. The look is wood, but the material is actually lightweight resin. The smaller sconces of these units are then mounted just below. Choose from over a dozen finishes including Etruscan Bronze, Ebony, Birchwood and Whitestone. These sconces would be perfect spaced intermittently on a large staircase wall and lighted for special occasions.
Take a moment to look around your home decor. Is there a drab spot just waiting for a little illumination? Chances are you have a perfect spot for sconces in your home interior. Why not add a bit of old fashioned candlelight with one or two of these lovely wall sconces from Accent Architecturals?

Fantasy Bird Houses From Jane Taylor
Perhaps lots of people you know have birdhouses in their yards, but we'll bet no one has birdhouses like the ones we're offering from Salvage Artist Jane Taylor.
Jane Taylor has a special knack for combining odd household items into eclectic art. And if those items are especially rusty with wearing finishes she likes them even better. If you want to understand what we're talking about just take a look at a few of her creations.
Few birdhouses are as wonderful as Jane's Natures retreat Birdello. Jane has used salvaged wood, covered it with old pieces of metal flashing and added some iron scrolled leaves to create a very beautiful home for your feathered friends. A sterling picture frame gives accent to birdie's entryway and completes the charm of the piece.
Jane's Elfin Magic Birdello takes salvage birdhouses to new heights. Recovered bead board makes the main body of the house. Then a picture frame is added around the hole, and an old door latch becomes birdie's new perch. The real fun of this piece comes from the daringly impish elf figure mounted on top and flanked by finials. We guarantee your friends don't have any birdhouses that can hold a candle to this one.
By now you get the idea that Jane Taylor's birdhouses are far beyond the ordinary. Are you looking for a real showpiece for your garden? We're sure that a browse through Jane's collection of one of a kind bird houses will reveal something sure to tickle your fancy!

Fine Receptacles
You put a good deal of thought and time into your home, office and landscape design. So why would you ruin the look with tacky trash receptacles and waste paper bins. Let Accent Architecturals solve your design dilemma with receptacles that are so beautiful you'll be ashamed to throw your refuse in them.
Our Doric Trash and Ash Receptacles take care of two problems at once. The sleek column design of these lightweight stone receptacles is very attractive and comes in Natural or Mossy finish. The recessed top can be filled with sand and used to stub out cigarettes while the inner area holds your refuse. If you prefer you can use the top area to hold a charming bowl of goldfish or a nice potted plant instead of using it for an ashtray.
Our Infinity Receptacles are bold pieces of architecture that add a lot of interest to your space. In addition they make a wonderful conversation piece and a great addition to any décor. Basically rectangular in shape these receptacles are decorated with geometric designs. They are made of cast stone for great durability and come in Antique Green or Antique White finishes.
These are just a few of the classy receptacles Accent Architecturals has to offer. Wouldn't you like to replace those ugly plastic and metal waste bins with something far more attractive? You don't have to sacrifice function or design when you choose from our offerings of fine receptacles for your interior or exterior spaces.
