Make your outdoor space as comfortable and personal as the inside of your home with design and planting guidance from Field Guide to Outside Style. Maybe you' ve just purchased your first home or you have an existing outdoor space that' s overgrown and old-fashioned, and you want to turn it into a place that blends perfectly with your sense of style and your life. But where should you start? How can you be sure to create a space you can sustain? Field Guide to Outside Style leads the way. You' ll learn to personalize your outdoor living space with the right plants, furnishings, and other design elements to create a space that reflects YOU perfectly, even if you' ve never sunk a shovel into the soil before. The word "gardening" can be intimidating if you aren' t used to digging in the dirt, yet you want a gorgeous outdoor living area you feel proud of. Author and outdoor living pro Ryan McEnaney helps you make it happen by meeting you where you are. He cuts out the intimidating stuff, doesn' t use scary terms, and supports you through the entire process. - Start with what you already love. Learn how to translate your choices in clothing, colors, furniture, and architecture into an understanding of how to design your outdoor areas. - Next, set parameters and expectations. Learn how to plan smartly so you don' t get in over your head. - Then, select your aesthetic. Decide which of three primary outdoor design styles-the traditionalist, the modernist, and the naturalist-suit you best and use easy-to-digest, mix-and-match recipes to create an outdoor living area of your dreams. - Plus, see your options in action. Through case studies accompanied by before-and-after images of real-life outdoor rehab projects, you' ll walk away with a clear understanding of what will work for you and your space. Close the book confident in your ability to select plants and design concepts that work in your region, fit within your abilities, and ultimately match the rest of your life perfectly. And to sweeten the deal, the long-term success of your new outdoor space is supported by basic plant care tips and resources to ensure your newly discovered outside style shines for many years to come.
