This is a great "thumb thur" book. It has really nice pictures of outdoor areas that are very "architectural".... Not helpful for the "average joe" looking for ideas to create your own backyard/outdoor patio/room.
Fresh ideas, lots of variety, great mixing of materials

When looking for fresh ideas and inspiration on how to create the prefect outdoor space you needn't look any further than this book. From a modern symmetrical porch to lush English gardens, it showcases a wide range of styles. With so much to choose from anyone can find something to suit their taste. Many of the outdoor rooms have pools. It is amazing how they manage to flawlessly integrate the pools into the environment without making them seem out of place or just thrown there. The magnificent outdoor spaces truly become a part of the home. I love the combination of styles and how they compliment one another. One room features the creamy white walls of Greece, a timber roof and hot Mexican colors in a cushioned seat. Large color photos tell the story with brief descriptions of each example.In the back there is a sampler of fine furnishing and accessories form a variety of different styles including historical, rustic, Mediterranean/island, and geometric. There is also a helpful directory of design professionals, photographers and product sources.
Outdoor Rooms are awesome!

While I don't have oodles of cash to slather all about my little acre I do dream big & beautiful & that's why Julie Taylor's book called to me. I live so much of my life outside, even in the foggy mists on the hem of a rainforest that I have had several ideas about outdoor rooms. This book explores bringing the outdoors in & the indoors out. It is a collection of spaces designed by a host of Design Professionals & captured by another host of Photographers. It is a great winter read when images of sunshine & verdancy fill our minds & we look about our nest & wonder how to expand it, how to live out of doors & still be safe from the elements. Lovely, sumptuous feast for your eyes. For my full review do check out: [my website].

Outdoor Rooms is a beautiful testament to the great outdoors. I particularly enjoyed this volume because most of the spectacular pictures are of ourdoors rooms in the United States. I discovered many great ideas to incorporated in my own great outdoors and I found the resources to be very benificial.
