Ideas for Your Outdoor Decor

Last Friday morning I drove to McKinney airport and took Petunia for a spin. Petunia is my favorite Cessna 152. It was a bit windy and the morning began a bit hazy but after a while it cleared and turned into a gorgeous day.

I LOVE this time of year. It's perfect for flying....but not just flying...living.
Outdoor Living!

That's why I've devoted this week's E-Newsletter to outdoor decorating. Here are a few additional tips that I didn't include in the newsletter.

And by the way, if you're not getting My Newsletter, what are you waiting for?

Put Out a Bird Bath
Bird baths are sculptural art for the yard. They come in all shapes and styles. Find one you love and place it where you can see it. Our feather friends are sure to appreciate it as the weather gets hotter.

Add a Fountain
If you love the "water" idea, but not the wildlife, try adding a fountain. Whether a standing or a wall fountain, there's nothing like the sound of water. Many fountains are inexpensive, easy to install and create enormous atmosphere. You may consider looking into solar fountains too.


Outdoor Drapes
What better way to bring the indoor atmosphere outside? Outdoor drapes are not only beautiful but also functional. Depending on where you hang them, they can provide privacy plus heat, sun and mosquito protection. But DO make sure they're made for the outdoors. Interior panels won't hold up to the elements.
Hope these have inspired you to get outside and enjoy the outdoors!
Till next time,
Alba
