Today has been the most beautiful fall day and I can only dream about spending the day and into the evening on this veranda designed by BD Jeffries for the 2011 March of Dimes showhouse in Charlotte. This outdoor room has space for lounging and dining al fresco and has an amazing view of the lovely gardens and azure blue salt water pool. This room is everything I am looking for in an outdoor 'living' room - casual and hip with lots of natural textures perfect for entertaining or just spending a day outside-in!
The sofa is facing a fireplace with a big driftwood starburst mirror over the mantle.
I absolutely adore the tablescape especially the simple centerpieces of submerged rock crystals in glass hurricanes. In person, they sparkle! This centerpiece idea is one of my most favorite 'takeaway' ideas from the showhouse.
The table features the new 'Country Estate' dinnerware from Juliska.
Outdoor curtains made from burlap and sunbrella. Throughout the showhouse were little touches of a 'modern global' aesthetic like the ethnic print on these stools.
Petrified wood adds interest to a side table.
A close up of the table gives you more perspective on the textures the designer brought together to create this interesting tablescape.
