After the lot party yesterday, I’m still thinking of being outside, maybe in the courtyard area between our future home and studio. Below are some pretty examples including lots of windows and doors to the outside, potted plants (which I have and love), bamboo (which we are considering to hide the ugly house behind us), and a great blue-toned upstairs (which is just about the color we just agreed upon using as an accent outside our new place, since it is gorgeous with terra-cotta planters and green plants!).
