The thing we have in common is this: while we are all gathered around the hearth, trying to keep warm, it’s the perfect time to dream up how you want to live when it’s warm enough to be outside again.

How do you want to live in your outdoor space? What would be too perfect to even consider? Consider it! Over the next month, I’ll be sharing inspirational images and sites that will support your ultimate vision of your outdoor spaces, and some ideas and resources to make it a reality, with budget in mind. We here at Spark are all about good design for everyone, no matter the budget! Just take a look at the outdoor and Indoor Resin Flooring for the best prices with installation included !

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, will be to do the dreaming. Dream now, no constraints, no boundaries.

Snuggling up with friends on an outdoor couch with a fire in the firepit (or chimenea if there is a burn ban in effect) is so attractive this time of year. It just makes conversation flow. A Spark client is considering a structure for her firepit/conversation area so I went to one of my favorite [...]

So Christmas is over for 2010 and New Year’s Eve is beckoning. Before all the parties kick in, make a resolution to chip in.
