Your home doesn't have to stop at its four walls - not if you don't want it to. With a little creative decorating, you can extend your living space beyond the house, creating special outdoor spaces that combine the comfort of indoor living with the glory of Mother Nature. With this beautiful book, now in paperback, you can learn how to transform your outdoor space into a splendid retreat that celebrates nature, fulfills your rest and relaxation needs, serves as an elegant entertainment room for friends and family, and soothes your soul with its peacefulness. Learn how to make patios and terraces, sunrooms and porches, gazebos and summer houses, decks and loggias, garden rooms and conservatories, and trellises, archways, arbors, and pergolas.
