Four Good Ideas for Outdoor Rooms
1. Dining Room
3. Family Room
2. Anything Shed
4. Fitness Room
No deck? No problem. Set a
pretty table under a shade tree
or next to your kitchen garden,
and your guests will talk all
evening about the flavor of fresh
vegetables and how beautiful
your garden is.
Whether it is a prefab or your
own design, a small shed can
be a pocket-sized place for
your gardening gear, or a cabin
for Saturday night campouts,
or even a studio for painting,
writing or throwing pottery.
Having a fire pit in your garden
means your family can gather
,round the campfire when
you're too busy to go camping.
And, telling stories around the
flickering flames is the perfect
nightcap for dinner guests.
Select taller plants to provide
privacy and build a small
platform for yoga, lifting weights
or a video workout. It's not hard –
just make sure your DVD player
and screen are protected from the
elements, and run an extension
cord to a nearby outlet.
