We potentially filled one item on our buying wish list for this year - pillows. Although we didn't fill out our wish list entirely, we still found plenty of new options for next year.
September 14, 2011 | Cassidy Voyles We were hoping to have all kind of blog goodies for you today from the Casual Living Show in Chicago but we never made it that far yesterday. Mike is on his way to the show today so we'll start reporting our finds as soon as we can.
Unfortunately, this is how Mike and I spent our day yesterday.

Succulents basically take care of themselves so it isn't as if you really need to have them in artificial form but for those of us who live in areas that suffer winter kill in our gardens wintering over succulents can be tricky.

Every buying season there are always one or two items on our wish list that we know are merely pipe dreams. The outdoor living industry is growing so fast that it wouldn't surprise us one bit if our pipe dreams become a reality so we'll keep dreaming.

Since starting HomeInfatuation.com the outdoor living industry has evolved so fast year to year that the inside joke has been that if we wish it a manufacturer will make it. So needless to say we are big fans of the wish list. Before heading to the Casual Living Show and starting the new buying season we have a well developed list of wishes. For 2012 here is my list of outdoor living wishes for HomeInfatuation.com.

Decor Pad - Lee Industries Slip-Covered Sofa and Upholsterd Ottomans
The Casul Living Show is next week so we are thinking a lot about the outdoor living trends over the last year and speculating about what we might see and hope to see at this year's show. This week I thought it would be fun to revisit my and Mike's favorite trends from last year and our wish list for 2012 and compare that to what we see at the show next week.

We had been following the trend of ceramic stools and side tables creeping from interior spaces into outdoor spaces. When we headed to the Casual Living show last summer we expected to find evidence of the growing outdoor trend but we didn't see the traditional ceramic garden stools that we expected to see.

We thought there were some really exciting trends at this year's Casual Living Show. The two that excited us most were slip-cover outdoor furniture and petite scaled furnishings. The other unmistakable design trends were high back chairs and sectionals, lounge seating groups and rounded and curved shapes.
