One of the biggest pleasures of my job is working with and getting to know many talented local interior designers. Currently Marc and I are working with Francesca of Studio Albertazzi to transform our backyard into a more beautiful and useable space.

The footprint is small, but the task is not. I find myself in an interesting position being on the other side of balancing the special things that will "make" the space and working within our budgetary constraints. I know that the special things are going to be what really makes the space memorable, but how do we trim it down to fit within our spending plan?
With the help of Francesca, and my obsession for being 100% behind every purchase we make (and yes this includes choices of items we bring into the store to sell), I think we've got an action plan that will work for our home and our wallets, and most importantly, not leaving behind the special elements that will make the space sing and be uniquely ours.
We hope you are feeling just as inspired as us to live outdoors this summer.
