It took some time for Summer to emerge from behind the curtains of clouds and wet weather, but now she is in full sweltering glow. Like a Diva who shows up late but never disappoints, Summer is finally ready for her close up and along with it, my dramatic & colourful terrace!

I decorate outside no different from the way I would inside. I like to borrow design cues from my interiors, like bold colour, scale, proportion, and interesting texture combinations and apply them out under the sun. Let me invite you to enjoy a private look at my very photogenic patio  featuring confident colour, exuberant flair and a little DIY attitude!

The Wonder of Spray Paint

And no patio redo would ever be complete without the use of spray paint – the secret to making just about anything match the colour of your dream décor. I can’t tell you how many times I gave funishings and accessories new lives just by using some paint! It is no accident that my gold solar birds match my gold loveseat! I just love the stuff – especially automotive spray paints that hold up to heat, cover metals beautifully, and come in an array of special great colours like – 50’s chrsyler baby blue, racing car red, – or crème Cadillac white!
