"If my clients do not have rugs at the beginning," Mary Margarett says, "I select fabrics first and then the rugs. If the homeowners already have some floor coverings that they would like to use, then I choose the fabrics based on them."

Outdoor Paradise
Who says the back porch has to be attached to the house? One Memphis family enjoys theirs, which is nestled in the heart of the back yard. Although the structure was part of the property when the family bought the home several years ago, its size and scale seem ideal for today. The screened porch section measures 8 x 12 feet; exposed beams on the inside give it an open feel. To the left, an enclosed room that's used for storing outdoor equipment takes up another eight feet. - Integrated Cabinets
