Find items that complement your own personal style, as well as that of your surroundings. For instance, if you have a lush Mediterranean garden, filling your backyard with sleek, modern furniture and accessories will seem out of place. |
| But on that note: It is ok to mix and match styles, but find a common denominator to merge them -- such as color or finish -- so that everything seems part of one whole. |  Gary Hutton |

The number one rule is to just have fun with your decorating. Sure, there are "rules" to keep in mind -- but when it comes down to it, this is your home and it should reflect you. And because in most parts of the country you don't get to enjoy this space year round, you should make it something that excites you every time you walk out that back door. |
