Until I went to interior design school, I never considered drawing and measuring my outdoor space. Sure, we have plenty of areas to entertain and to sit outside but was I using the space to its full potential. Was the furniture arranged in the best manner? Did the colors look inviting yet maintain functionality? Could it be better??
Of course, once I spent more time drawing and planning out the space, I found some things that I wanted to change. I stopped the spontaneous purchases from Target and Home Goods. I had a list. Everything had a function. No more wasting money. No more purchasing things and finding a place for it later. This mentality has resulted in less clutter in my home. I applied this mentality to the inside of my home years ago and I have been happy with the ease of management of our "stuff." We do a lot of entertaining outside over the summer and so far, I am happy with the changes that have been implemented outside. Of course outside purchases have to take into consideration the durability, the resistance of fading, being waterproof, and maintenance. I just ordered a new sectional... stay tuned for pictures after it is delivered. I can't wait to share some of my secrets in detail!
