SR White Oak Table Set

Photos by Dylan + Jeni Photography

We recently released our SR White Oak Table Set- a new take on our redwood SR Outdoor Table Set. We love the look of white oak. The tight grain and lighter hue of the hardwood make it really suitable for indoor use.

We especially loved working with our friends Dylan and Jeni for the SR White Oak Table Set photo shoot. They are amazing photographers and incredible chefs, and gracious hosts for amazing dinner parties. Check out Dylan's blog and Jeni's blog for a peek at their travel and culinary adventures!

For more photos and a lovely write up of our collaboration, check out the story on Dylan's blog.

Go Big or Go Dome

What better way to celebrate the holidays (and a very rainy week here in Los Angeles) than with a geodesic gingerbread house. About 10" in diameter, our gingerbread dome is made of hexagons, pentagons, and a ridiculous amount of royal icing (which may sound fancy, but it's just a mixture of powdered sugar and egg whites).  We included a teepee like the one we have in our backyard, and a gingerbread SR Outdoor Table Set. What can we say, we get a little intense with our holiday edible house construction.

If you're making you own gingerbread house this season, we highly recommend going to a Japanese supermarket to get some seriously amazing construction accoutrements, including chocolate covered tree stumps, bamboo shoots, and mushrooms, along with a variety of pocky pretzels that make excellent edible firewood.

More pics of our SR Geodesic Gingerbread Dome, along with an A-Frame we also made, are on our flickr feed.

XANADU at Specific Merchandise

The magical world of XANADU is right here in Los Angeles!  The holiday show at Specific Merchandise brings together nearly 50 designers and artists for the largest exhibit yet at the gallery storefront.  Curator and owner Brooks Hudson Thomas has done an amazing job bringing together so many talented designers for the show.  The space looks amazing, and we hope all of our friends in Los Angeles have a chance to check it out.

We are super excited that our entire line of Scout Regalia products is part of this show (!!!).  To display our SR Wall Pockets, we built a 15' tall "pennant" with over 200 hanging wall pockets.  In addition,  the show includes the SR Outdoor Table Set, garden kits, and our latest product, the SR Bookcase.  The show also features work from our friends at design,bitches, todosomething, Von Tundra, WELCOME, Winter Session, artist Morgan Maclean, and some amazing handmade shoes by Dragan Mrdja.

More information about the show is available here, and more pics of the installation of the wall pocket pennant are on our flickr feed.

Made to Order Production Tags

We're always looking for ways to communicate information about our products through interesting, clear, and well designed means.  In addition to product postcards, we now have Production Tags for our made to order furniture, including the latest release of our SR Bookcase.

The Production Tags allow us to provide customers with some information about their made to order Scout Regalia piece, and also helps us keep track of important information including custom color choices and finishes.  Be on the lookout for these tags with your SR Outdoor Table Set and SR Bookcase orders!

Motley Hue

The SR Outdoor Table Set comes in a rainbow of 210 bright enamel color options. We've been working directly with our clients in creating SR Outdoor Table Sets to their specific color choices. What a wonderful and eclectic set of colors we've seen come through the office/shop! We love to see these tables and benches come out in colors we would never have imagined, and they all look wonderful and unique in their own way. And it's great knowing that these table sets are going to homes that appreciate style, color, and timeless design. Here's a peek at the menagerie of colorful SR Outdoor Table Sets we've recently built.

We're Branding- The Old Fashioned Way

We are very excited about our new brand- in the oldest sense of the word. Did you know that the word "brand" comes from the Norse term brandr, which means "to burn"? Our Scout Regalia wood brand allows us to discreetly make our mark on the underside of our SR Outdoor Table Set and the SR Patio Garden Kit (Assembled). It's a really fun process to do and watch, and we're currently resisting the urge to brand everything in sight, including toast.

SR Product Postcards

For each of our products, we design 5" x 7" information postcards that go into a little more detail about the product. With our latest releases, we created double sided postcards for the SR Outdoor Table Set and the SR Patio Garden. Since our Outdoor Table Set comes with 210 color options, we thought it would be a great way to showcase the rainbow of choices for the enameled finish. These postcards, along with information cards for all of our other products, are downloadable on our website. Below are links to the info cards for the latest Scout Regalia products- enjoy!

SR Outdoor Table Set

Since we don’t have a lot of space to host proper dinners inside our apartment, we designed and built an outdoor table set that comfortably seats 8. This is a prototype of our SR Outdoor Table Set, which is our first venture into made-to-order furniture (you can see more pics and order it here).

Outdoor Inspiration

This unclad teepee was already here when we moved in, and it provides a nice addition to our yard. The teepee helps delineate a nice outdoor space without too much structure.
