Workshop was a big success

Tuesday nights Design Workshop on Outdoor Living was a big success.  45 people in attendance from Canton, Woodstock, Big Canoe, Lake Arrowhead, Jasper, Holly Springs, Roswell, Alpharetta, Marietta and more.  It was a great crowd and lots of fun.  

We had a little different format this time in that we did not have a Professional Designer do our presentation.  We chose two amateur gardners, who love to play in the dirt and create beautiful patios, decks and gardens, do the honors.  Terry Anderson and Cristina Stafford, next door neighbors with self taught skills and creative eyes, shared some of their beautiful techniques and secrets.  Here are a few of the COOL IDEAS that were presented.  ENJOY!

Benches                                     Birdhouses                             Colorful Furniture                Cozy Corners                                                     

Potted Herb Gardens           Layering for interest           Mixing Pots & Color            Screen Doors for interest

    Accessories are always the fun part.  Colorful oil lamps for lighting, candles and more candles, single stem flowers for interest and simple watering cans brough alive by florals and greenery. 

Patios and Decks can be fun and certainly a welcoming outdoor room to your home.  In fact the same fundamentals of design apply to outside as well as in.  

Hope you enjoyed your Springtime show.  I know we did.    See you next time!  Betty
