Outdoor Living Idea Book (Taunton Home Idea Books)

Even if you have a small piece of land behind your home-whether it's in the country or the city-you, too, can create your own outdoor room. An outdoor room can be as simple as a barbeque grill and a table and chairs on a patio or as elaborate as an outdoor guest bedroom complete with a teak-framed bed and outdoor fireplace.
Creating outdoor living spaces is the new American pastime, with homeowners wanting to create a place in their backyard that extends their living space and capitalizes on all the outdoors has to offer, whether it's relaxing by the pool, playing a game of volleyball with the kids, or hosting an al fresco dinner party on the patio. Whatever your desire, you can have it! Outdoor Living Idea Book features hundreds of the latest ideas for creating outdoor living spaces of all kinds, from cooking and dining to entertaining and relaxing to playing, no matter what size yard you have and what your budget.
