Here’s a  fun project where we created multiple outdoor rooms in a small space. An elevated concrete patio with a shade canopy protect those lounging and dining underneath during during all times of the day and night (cafe lights are strung underneath the canopy). A small fire pit and water feature area, allow guests to meander around the yard and enjoy different vantage points and comforts. Bold colors stand out in the plants, fabric and planter containers.
