BETTER

LIVING

1. Any outdoor

structure can

provide a romantic

backdrop when

hung with simple

fabric panels. Try

readymade

curtains, long

tablecloths, or

fabric yardage.

2 . Add color and

pattern to outdoor

furniture with large

pillows that double

as seating when

placed on the

ground. Fabrics

and cushions

made fo r the

outdoors now

come in a huge

variety o f high-

style looks.

3 . Set the space

aglow after sunset

with mood-setting

candles. Glass-

paned lanterns

keep candles’

flames safely

contained and

protected from

the wind. I®
