You know it’s that time of year when you want your backyard to look like a “5 Star Resort,” again! Hmmm, yes I said again. Remember last year - you said the same thing, and the year before that! And, it hasn’t happened yet, right?  This is the year to do it - Yes We Can!! Who said that and it came true for them? You know who! So, it can come true for you (and for me).  Take a look at designer extraordinaire Christopher Lowell's site and see what you like. http://www.christopherlowell.com/projects/ He’s a great designer and has fabulous ideas, and you can do it for less, with some work, of course - unless you would like to pay to have it done - and I can do it for you! Yes I Can!  (email me at redesigner54@yahoo.com) So, I was thinking that I’d show you where and how you can make your backyard look and feel like a “5 Star Resort” without selling your kids!! It’s all in your mind, or at least in some pictures that you can put in your mind!!  Uh huh! Really, it can be as much fun or relaxing as you’d like. Just imagine how beautiful and relaxing your backyard could be this summer! Now add your flowers, plants bases, perhaps a mirror or 2 against a fence (just try it) and even some art work. Also, look at Target, Pier One, Kmart, WalMart and Crate & Barrel Outlet stores.  Go to a fabric store and buys some inexpensive fabric and make a little cabana!! All of these stores have great sales and all the items you need to make a "5 Star Resort" backyard. Let me know what you think! I look forward to hearing from you.
