Bringing the indoors out

Hooray for warmer weather!! We've all seen the standard patio sets and folding lawn chairs. This year, I am going to treat my outdoor spaces as I would my favorite indoor rooms. Bringing color, texture, accessories and artwork to my back yard. Here are a few idea's to get you started:

Adding these votive candles along your stairs, table or other feature area's will add sparkle to your room
