Creating An Outdoor Sanctuary @ (NAPSA)—Beit a small urban terrace or a palatial deck,it’s fun to turn an outside space into your own private sanctuary. To help, lifestyle expert, HGTV personality and best-selling author Susie Coelho, who has a home collection on QVC, offers some tips: *Re-create the comfort of an indoor retreat by using outdoor rugs, decorative outdoor pillows and colorful umbrellas. Stretch your dollar further by getting reversible pillows that have a print on one side and a solid on the other. eSurround yourself with votives, sconces and candles. Hanging lanterns adds a colorful andfestive touch. Adding the sound of running water with a water feature can turn any outdoor space into a peaceful sanctuary. Wall art pieces can add a great European feel to even the smallest of spaces. Create a fun and entertaining area with all the amenities. Fire pits are the chic version of sitting around the campfire. Add a bar, outdoorgrill, plenty of seating and mood lighting with lanterns and votives to liven up the party. elf you have the space, create an outdoor room with a portable pavilion. Fill it with all the comforts of home, like you would living or dining room area. Add candles, magazines, throw pillows and lanterns.
