apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

I recently moved from the city, and in my new place I have a rather large screened in patio which I access through a sliding door in the living room of my one bedroom apartment. How should I decorate the patio? All I have out there now is a bistro set and a ton of plants.

cut a hole in the roof of your screened in patio, seal the edges of the hole so the environment doesnt degrade the rest of the structural roof, feature scape the floor with a pond liner under the hole, collect, treat and recirculate the water to the rest of the plants in your patio. (it is now a water feature and a sky light).

add some fire and you have a very large mosquito net sleeping bag.

Sometimes right after the smallest, coolest contest ends I get a blah feeling when I come to the site, like the day after Xmas. I must admit, the ICFF coverage is a let down after seeing the personality of individual apartments in the contest.
