Dear Crafts,
Some say you can't beat nature's original designs — but I say you can! With some simple tricks, you can turn your patio into an open-air room that beckons you to linger there. Use a table, chairs, and a creative touch or two and voila! You have an inviting alfresco dining area. Nature gives you the palette. You add the pizzazz.
