Outside In

Sheer draperies, a jute area rug, and plush seating lend this outdoor space the elements of an interior room. The interior decorator selected a lively green fabric to complement the woven-wicker furniture. The hand-tumbled, all-masonry brick fireplace furnishes a sense of warmth as well as extra seating on the hearth. Overhead, an oil-rubbed gas lantern guarantees ambience after sundown, while a reversible ceiling fan in a rusted-iron finish helps keep temperatures comfortable in all four seasons.
