We went to the same show. I think that was the year that Michelle won "best of show" - we had hired her to do a basic design, that we could implement, the year before. My pipes are the same as the tall ones in the second pic & that show was the reason I said "I want them", when my friend was remodeling her house in SF. When she first mentioned them I had all sorts of ideas - planters, water feature, benches, etc. I have 7 of the tall pipes. I'm thinking I'll line an area, where we're putting in some railroad tie steps - kinda' placed where a handrail would go, but purely decorative with trailing plants (probably sedum). I would love to make some benches, but haven't convinced my husband... yet.
