Dear Crafts,

Now that the weather is warmer, you're bound to spend more time outside. But often the great outdoors offers lots of scenery without a lot of comfort. Make your outdoor dining, lounging, and gathering spaces as cozy as possible with plush seating, colorful accents, and lots of lighting. Before you know it, your deck, porch, or patio will be your favorite room of the house.

Happy Decorating, — Veronica
