As soon as April 1 arrives, I know spring is around the corner, and sunny days on the patio are near.

This year, I'd also like to tackle a few outdoor projects, like repainting the deck out back and bui[...]
Adding an outdoor rug is one of the easiest ways to elevate the design of your patio decor. It will define your space and tie everything together.
