Give your guests a warm welcome before they even enter your home.

A soothing fountain (at left) adds to the auditory ambiance of the landscape.

Bringing the indoors outside with a cozy seating arrangement provides great entertaining options.

I love summer in Rochester and the profusion of natural colorful options available to brighten my home.

One specific way I take advantage of the season's offerings is to provide a welcoming experience the moment guests park in the driveway.  They are greeted by a sanctuary of color, waterfalls, and birds in a natural soothing setting.

Another tenet I live by is to bring the indoors outside as a great way to entertain guests and to provide a place for clients to relax. It feels especially wonderful to soak up the outdoors after a long Rochester winter.

Happy mid-summer to you all and I hope to see you soon to leave you feeling beautiful inside and out.
