Creating Harmony In Your Outdoor Spaces

It's summer  and the sun is finally out so your going to spend a lot more time enjoying your outdoor spaces.  This is a great opportunity to create harmony between your indoor and outdoor decor.  Outdoor spaces are an extension of your home therefore the enhancements and attention to detail that you apply to the inside of your home can do wonders on the outside as well. A simple way to do this is by taking the color theme from indoors and applying it to your outdoor space with pillows, rugs, and accessories.
Remember that it's about utilizing your personal style and having fun!

Happy Earth Day!

Here's some special Earth Day inspiration for you of rooftop gardens in urban settings. There are so many environmental, social, and psychological benefits of rooftop gardens: they reduce the heat island effect, they create community spaces, and they break up the monotonous concrete landscape of a major metropolitan area. Of course, nothing is better than getting yourself out into nature, breathing in that fresh, clean air, feeling the dirt under your feet, and having nothing but trees, land, and sky for as far as the eye can see. This planet we live on is the most incredible place, full of amazing natural wonders. Wherever you happen to be, take a moment today to appreciate it and reflect on the ways you can and do make it a better place.
