And, the marble gazebo would be at home in any Victorian garden. Their cast-iron and bronze urns, bases and statues are sophisticated enough to also reside indoors, as would the hand-carved marble tiles. The online Enchanted Forest contains a small sampling of their imports from around the world, but a catalogue is available.

IHDG has a wonderful line of "instant" stencils. What are instant stencils, you ask yourself? They are not blank stencils you dab paint into, they are not stick-on decals.

These come in a large variety, but our favorites are the "architectural" designs which can make it look like your home is full of carvings and mouldings.
