Outdoor Space

With the kickoff of spring, Jason and I have been planning our next round of home improvements: the patio.We spend so much time outdoors in the summer and we really want to make our patio space comfortable and usable, day and night, for entertaining friends as well as simple dinners for two.

While he is busy building the table I've been coming up with some ideas for lighting, fabrics and plantings. Here are a few of the inspirations. On the palette: warm woods, earth tone fabrics, whimsical lighting, soft plantings with splashes of color here and there.
