Don’t over look the exterior of your home!! Your front porch is the first thing people will see when they are visiting, it should set the tone of what the rest of your home will be like. I love adding a small seating area with a table and a few accent throw pills. I mean who doesn’t love watching a summer thunder storm from the comfort of their front porch with a glass of wine?

When it comes to your backyard it is an extension of your homes interior. Your backyard should be an inviting space where you can entertain and spend time with family and friends. I love creating a dining area as well as a relaxing seating area. Incorporating comfortable chairs and table with inexpensive throw pillows, blankets and candles creates the perfect environment to unwind after a long day at work. Your outdoor dining area will be the main gathering place outside. Make sure to invest in a good quality table and chair set that is durable and comfortable!! There is nothing like sitting on chairs that you cannot wait to get out of. Although I love the sun I know not everyone does, I recommend adding some type of element that offers shade for those who are not sun worshipers.
