Summer Style: Decorating Ideas & Projects for Outdoor Living

Make the most of those lazy, hazy days of summer with decorating and entertaining ideas for the outdoors. From atmospheric enhancements like canopies and flower arrangements to lighting designs, table fixings, and comfy seating, this is what it takes to indulge fully in the summer spirit out on the porch, on the deck, or in the backyard. Luscious, sunshiny photos present projects such as pretty floral pillows; a porch swing slipcover; a painted vintage metal chair; and a tablecloth and napkins stamped with ferns. Get grilling basics; find ideas for summer bounty (zucchini and basil); chill out in the shade with pineapple mint coolers; and play yard games. You won't ever want the summer to end.
