The best time to obtain one is early in the year, about March or so, when fresh stock arrives. Suggests you call around to the garden centers to ask when they will be getting dwarf avocado trees next year.

Crcollins: If I decided to use them again, I think I will have to do as you suggest. I am planning on using them only for upper cabinets in any event, and if I cannot find this exact design, I will get something as close as possible and put on the cabinets on other walls.

Happy2b -- yes! We have a large back yard, and want to do outdoor movies for family and friends. We do not have neighbors directly behind us, unless you count the houses that are on the other side of the creek which are over 200' away. And, because of the size and shape of our property, the neighbors to the side of us are over 50' away (and they'll be invited to movie nights). The movie screen is 12' diagonally (6' tall screen - total height with frame is more), so it should be a lot of fun.

any suggestions would be appreciated-i am not sure what kind of rug would go with this DR set without making the room too dark. Help please-thank you
