Springing Forward


 As the days get warmer and longer, our thoughts drift to spending more and more time outside in the sunshine. In Southern California we are blessed with amazing weather, so now is the perfect time to start planing a perfect outdoor spot of your own.


It doesn't have to entail a huge remodel or require a second mortgage to achieve your goal. Just find a spot outside and treat it as if it were another room in your home. Think outside the box of the traditional table and chairs and consider a couple of comfortable side chairs. Couple them with an ottoman that can do double duty as extra seating or  coffee table. Define the space with an outdoor rug. Now that you have the foundation of your "room", accessorize it with coordinating pillows, potted plants, some candles for nighttime ambiance....just like you would any other room in your home. 
With so many affordable options available to us now, there is no reason you couldn't be enjoying your new room by the time you set your clocks forward an hour this weekend! Inspired Yet?
