POST TOPPERTurn an outdoor deck into an evening destination with solar-powered post caps by Universal Forest Products. The Tiffany-style Mission Post Cap (pictured) provides ambient light without the hassle of wiring or electricity. Powered by rechargeable batteries, the stained-glass caps automatically turn on and off when the sun hits their solar collectors. Available in a variety of designs and sizes, they can be found at lowes.com.

MODERN FLAIRInspired by the popular geodesic dome structures of the 1960s, designer Kelly Lamb devised her own unique way to showcase plants with the creation of
Geo Planters. These angular handmade ceramic containers come in two sizes—9"D and 12"D—and are available in four colors. Hanging planters also are offered and feature drainage holes and parachute cords. They can be ordered from KL Studios, kellylamb.net.
