Inside Out

These early days of Fall are so lovely...here, in NC, the air is beginning to turn crisp and the leaves are starting to trickle down.  It is the perfect time of year to create outdoor living spaces for reading, relaxing and entertaining.  Taking the "inside out" doesn't require an elaborate location or an expansive piece of property.  It simply requires imagination!  Do you have a favorite tree?  Create an area beneath its branches for reading, writing or snoozing.  Do you have a private corner in the back yard with a view of the sunset or a starry sky?  Arrange an old table and chairs for dining alfresco.  Think in terms of furniture and accessories that you might ordinarily think of as "inside" pieces....let you imagination run wild and make the most of these beautiful Fall days.
