Oftentimes there is a distinction, a line drawn between the design of your interior home and the outside, but this groundbreaking book considers trees as well as tables in all-around home design. In Outside the Not so Big House, noted landscape designer and award-winning writer Julie Moir Messervy and best-selling author Sarah Susank gracefully tackle the challenges of creating spaces that transition into one another with ease. Rather than implying that a backyard is isolated, separate from kitchen or living room, this book posits that garden and yard areas can be designed to encourage and strengthen the flow of traffic and mood from room to room, from house to patio, making large or small indoor and outdoor landscapes feel undeniably yours, undeniably home.
