Cottages White Summer 2017

DINING OUTDOORS CAN BE A FREEING AND relaxing experience, but its downside is unpredictable weather. For days that are rainy, windy or even too hot or cold, consider opening your dining space for a covered dining experience that’s still connected to the outdoors.

- Kristin Dowding

Come Rain Or Shine

Windows to the Soul Installing French doors in your dining area provides you with a cool, dry entertaining space that’s not completely cut off from the natural elements. Keeping the doors open allows for guests to roam inside and out—keep food inside and save the outdoors for conversation and seating. In lieu of multiple wall adornments, opt for large windows that will make nature your backdrop. This will bring an outdoor feel to your indoor setting, whether the doors are open or not.
