Sophisticated design for Contemporary home

I just received my rain chain in the mail a few days ago and just wanted to say how happy I am with the product, service and overall experience of my purchase. I got my rain chain the same week I placed the order and was packaged very well. I couldn’t wait to open it up and when I did, it was even more amazing in person than what is shown in the pictures. If you like the images you see online, I believe you will be even more thrilled when you see rain chains in person. They are spectacular!...

Rain Chains Bring About a Freedom of Personalization

I have been eyeing the hammered cup rain chain for some time now. What has always captivated my attention especially when it comes to details and decorating is combining elegance with a bit of edge. When I look at the hammered cup that is what I see, a classic beautiful design with an innovative and modern vibe. The hammered cup comes in 5 distinct colors: Copper; Matte black in aluminum, Beaver Brown, Musket Brown, and Pewter Bronze all in aluminum as well. The great thing about the aluminum styles in particular is that they pair beautifully with almost any palette...

Monarch Rain Chains- Confidently Fearless

“Great design is a way of life” has been stated by us before and we continue to stand by it.  It serves as constant fuel to reinforce our values, to re-energize us, and provide us with an effortless way of handling, unifying, and caring for every facet of our daily existence. On the other hand, what great design is not is placing limits or reducing it to a stringent and inflexible path of ideas. Great design is exalted and celebrated when it is bold and fearless while at the same time preserving efficiency and its original purpose. Some of the...

Two worlds Collide to Create a Dream Home

My husband and I had purchased a home a few years ago, a mid- centuryarchitectural style home and although it needed major upgrades, we immediately saw it’s potential. We couldn’t wait to get started on the renovations. We loved the linear composition of the house, with linear roof angles and high ceiling beams and lots of floor to ceiling windows, providing excellent views of the vistas in the background. In renovating, we didn’t realize how downspouts were not going to be a very welcoming item in our newly renovated home since the linear and raised roof and architectural style would...

Rain Chains- A Delightful Addition for Outdoor Entertainers

My wife and I like to entertain in our home, especially now that our kids are grown up and starting their own families. We recently decided to do some renovations in our home, which were long overdue. We were hoping once we were done putting the kids thru college and saved enough, that we would go ahead and begin the process but unfortunately didn’t work out that way. Years later, we finally had the means to do it and were excited to begin the project. We were looking for an Asian feel to our home with modern amenities. After looking...

A spectacular selection of artistic cup and link style downspouts

My husband and I were inspired to redo our front landscaping after watching a home/gardening show a few weeks ago . In the show, they show cased  a rain chain in one of the remodeled homes they were featuring and when it was over, all I kept thinking about was how much I wanted one. Just like me, there were several people at the show who were unaware of the function and existence of a rain chain. The segment on the rain chain was really quick, lasting no more 5 seconds but it certainly left an impression. I don’t remember...

Pewter Bronze hit the bulls eye

I wanted to express my appreciation and satisfaction of my recent purchase of the aluminum hammered cup rain chain in the dark pewter bronze finish. It is just what I was looking for, especially since the finish is a darker/gray shade of bronze that looks perfect with my home. We had been looking for and had seen other aluminum natural finishes but the shades were too light for my liking and we felt it wasn’t a right color fit for my home. It wasn’t until I was browsing your website that I saw the beautiful collection of aluminum link and...
