apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

How did you create it? When we bought this house two years ago it was a tiny cement enclosure mainly occupied by a clothesline and trash can. Since then we have removed the clothes line and trash cans and created another summer living room. We painted the walls in a Moroccan themed salmon color and added many terracotta pots with cold hardy plants indigenous to the area. We love the color added by annuals but love a low maintenance space so we planted many evergreens and perennials. We added many wall planters and Mexican talavera pots, lizards and butterflies. Our goal was to create a colorful outdoor space that required minimal maintenance. The mat is a woven plastic mat from the local Vietnamese store. The wall art are talavera ceramics from various sources.
