Outdoor spaces ideas galore! Do you have a big yard, a small one, or just an odd space you don't know how you can use? Then "Garden Outdoor Patio" is for you! From gazebo, canopies, sunshade sails, garden parasols, and pergolas this book brings out all kinds of "roof" options that you can implement into your space. I love the fact that the author also touched on how to choose a BBQ on account there's so many types out there to chose from. The book was thorough when it comes to every single detail that a person can either miss or think about like lighting or an audio system! Also the chapter about maintenance is invaluable for people like me who are just getting started (it saves a lot of time and effort to know exactly what I'm supposed to do). If you want great ideas for any kind of outdoor space this book is what you need!

This book will take you from your garden site analysis to actually making your own furniture! You'll learn what annual flowers to plant and how to chart your planting. There are roof ideas if your garden will be a roof garden. There are fountain ideas, which I LOVE because I have always loved fountains (just ask my grandma!) And finally, my favorite part, was the DIY furniture section with detailed instructions. I love the idea of getting crafty and making stuff for myself and my daughter is super into doing it with me!

I love this one! I am a huge fan of interior decorating and i love how this book helps you fix up your patio without having to spend thousands of dollars for an interior designer. You get to do it yourself, and you get to decide on things especially if it’s concerning your budget. I love it!

I love the fact that this book shows you examples of wonderfully decorated outdoor patios. It has helped in showing me great designs for myself as well as the clients I work with as a designer.
