It seems silly to write about outdoor living areas in the middle of winter 

but we've had a couple of warmer days  just lately.  Spring seems to be in the air but who knows here in the Southern Highlands we can still be wearing sweaters in December.

I love outdoor living areas,  whether it's beside a pool, a patio table and chairs near the BBQ or nestled in the privacy of the garden, a wonderful covered outdoor entertaining area, with or without a built-in fireplace and don't forget the front verandah.  

The front verandah in Australia is a very neglected area of most homes and yet while we lived in the US it was an extension of the house.  Just like the front door, it's first impressions with a verandah.  To me there is nothing better than sitting in the warmth of the sun with a cuppa and magazine on the front verandah.  Yes, I speak to neighbours as they pass and No, I'm not nosey!   

Restoration Hardware does do it well!
