While I may enjoy the beauty of the winter season, it isn’t my favorite. I may enjoy cozying up by the fireplace with hot chocolate in hand, but I don’t enjoy scrapping ice and snow from my windshield, or the bone chilling run from the parking lot to the office doors.To beat the winter blahs, I like to close my eyes and dream of sitting outside mid summer with friends and family enjoying everything my very own backyard ‘oasis’ has to offer. It is often during these dreary winter months that I come up with inspiration or an idea to improve my outdoor living area. I often tell people to start planning their new outdoor space during the winter, not only to have something to look forward to in the warmer months, but also something you know you and yours can truly enjoy.
