What are glide shades you ask? They are the oldest form of shade

solutions we have. They date back to the Roman coliseum, which is why they look so familiar.

The timeless look of glide shades fit in anywhere, commercial as well as residential. Each one is cus-

tom made for your space. They can be added to an existing structure, or we can make one for you.

Glide shades are both modern and traditional.

What does Outdoor Weather Management mean to

you? Well for us it means controlling your environment

with the use of heating and cooling products. Your out-

door space should be treated the same as your indoor space. When you add the right products

to keep the space comfortable, you spend more time there. This year, consider adding some

warmth to your space so you and your guests can stay a little while longer.

We have installed Infratech heaters in several residential and commercial spaces.

No one ever complains about having comfort, yet will if they don’t have it.

What pops into your head when

you think of Thanksgiving? No

doubt your mind quickly travels to

thoughts of turkey with all the fix-

ings, football and probably enjoying

it with some family and

friends. Now think about where

that turkey and footballing actually

takes place.

THE ULTIMATE California

Thanksgiving

Most likely you can recount at least

one occasion of scrunching into small spaces with your back up to a wall and no clear exit strat-

egy. Here in Northern CA we are blessed enough to have the sun shine down on us 265 days

out of the year. So why do we continually insist on celebrating this holiday indoors when the

original one was not? At least that’s how Charlie Brown interrupted it in his version.

6

This year, try something bold, something different,

and something out there. Move your cramped table

off your living room carpet and put it in your back-

yard. Of course there is always Grandma Mae and

Aunt Betsy that no doubt will “feel a little chill in the

air” despite the 75 and sunny forecast. Fear

not! With so many patio heater options available,

you are certain to find the perfect one to accommo-

date them. Infratech Heaters are a great way to

keep your outdoor space cozy. These heaters use

infrared or radiant energy which is the most practical

way to add warmth to a space without greenhouse

emissions, odors or ultraviolet light. Also, consider

putting out a basket of shawls or throws your guest can use if they tend to run a little

on the chilly side.

Turn to natural décor for your

centerpiece and place set-

tings. You don’t have to spend a

lot of money on decorations to

make a beautiful table. Take a

walk and collect leaves, pine

cones and other bits of nature to

fill in your table décor.

Don’t be afraid to bring the in-

doors out. Linens, table settings,

and glassware can all be used outdoors, so don’t bother buying new outdoor ver-

sions. It’s only one day and why not bring the china outside for this special day.

This year give your guests a

Thanksgiving they will remember,

especially those out-of-towners

who don’t get to see the sun very

often. Enjoy one of the best

meals of the year outside in the

warm sun with the perfect glass

of wine.

Many of us have the same dilemma with patio furniture, should we store or cover. If you have a shed with room for your patio furniture,

then yes store them. Yet if you are like most people and don’t have the space then be sure and buy some quality covers for your valuable

furniture. We all know how expensive outdoor furniture can be and taking care of it will make it last. A key tip for taking care of your

cushions is to clean them before you store for the winter, and when you get them out for the summer, refresh that cleaning treatment

again. Sunbrella makes a great product called 303. You can by it at most places, yet if you have trouble finding it, we can help.

Lighting adds curb appeal and extends your landscaping into the night. Bring out unseen features of your landscape by lighting archi-tecture, yard art, pathways and plantings. In addition to aesthetics, lighting adds an element of safety and security by making pathways, steps and changes in elevation visible. To create a cohesive lighting design, consider how your landscape changes and how you can emphasize the outstanding features of the seasonal landscape. For example, bring to life the changing colors that come with fall and the reduction of leaf mass of your trees and shrubs by emphasizing the skeleton silhouettes. Winter lighting brings warmth to the shortened days, the fresh new buds and flowers in spring are bright and cheery leading into the dense growth of summer.

10

Be creative with your outdoor lighting endeavors. Use string lights above your patio, along fence lines or the edges of arbors. Bring lighted yard art into the landscape. Add a fire pit to extend the outdoor season. Make your lighted landscape visible from your indoor rooms and enjoy these elements while you slip into bed and fall asleep, gazing at your beautiful garden. There are many other ways to use light to highlight and add warmth to your outside landscape in the cooler days of fall and winter. Fire pits are increasing in popularity and can be used to extend outdoor leisure on colder evenings. Propane fueled fire pits are easy to light and maintain. Enjoy a glass of wine, a mug of hot cocoa and maybe a few marshmallows while warming yourself and company by the fire during holiday gatherings.

8 key ways to light land-

scape elements

Down-lighting/moonlighting:

light from above, usually in trees

to create shadows on the

ground from interesting foliage

or branch structure.

Up lighting: light from the base

of a tree that lights up the

underside of the canopy or light

at the base of yard art.

Cross Lighting: creates a 3D

effect by doubling the down or

up lighting fixtures to an object.

Mirror lighting: lights mirrored in a

pool or water feature.

Grazing: lights that pick up

architectural features and

textures. Typically installed close

to wall at a high angle.

Shadowing: light in front of an

object to create shadow on a

flat surface behind.

Silhouette Lighting: lighting

installed behind tree, in

between tree and building,

creating a silhouette effect.

Path and Spread: helps to

navigate and create low light-

ing along design curves. Spread

lighting is used to light up flower-

beds and other bold plantings

in spring and summer.

CUSTOM coziness

When Laurel Hanson received a candle holder made out of

recycled wine barrels in 2012, her husband Jon took one

look at it and said, “I can do that.” Soon after, Jon received

his first shipment of wine barrels and began experimenting.

Having been a woodworker most of his life, creating custom

furniture from recycled wine barrels was a natural transi-

tion. It wasn’t long before Hanson Woodworks was born.

It’s a labor of love for both Jon & Laurel.

Unique craftsmanship and attention to

detail are poured into every custom piece

they create. Their most recent creation is

the custom wine crate panel fire table. The

design is a Hanson Woodwork’s original.

This fire table will quickly become a conver-

sation piece in any patio or backyard .

Looking to make something unique for your outdoor space?

We took these pallets and made a present box to set outside. First thing was

to cut some pieces off pallets, we

then took them to the miter saw

and cut them to length. After they

were all the same length, we

screwed the pieces together using

pieces of pallet on the back side.

Once it was all put together we

painted it with exterior red paint,

wrapped ribbon around it... done.

renovation BACKYARD

It started as a simple project, but soon

putting in a new outdoor BBQ grew into a

massive backyard renovation. The only

thing kept was the original pool although

even it was resurfaced with Pebble Tec.

These home owners wanted to turn their

backyard into a place where they could

relax, unwind and entertain friends and

family. It needed to be comfortable and

accommodating for visits with their

children and grandchildren. As they

began discussing their plans for the 13

backyard, the home owners decided to add

on a sunroom for extra living space. It

would provide more room where the

grandkids could spread out, play and even

double as overflow sleeping accommoda-

tions. Low maintenance was another

important factor in the design. The pool

deck was recovered with pavers that extend

into the landscape. A plush artificial

turf sits in the back of the yard.

Vintage Giants stadium seats are a

great place to sit and watch the

dogs play on the grass.

The seating wall

provides plenty of

comfy seats

around the fire.

Custom garden

boxes line the

fence just off the

outdoor kitchen.

14

The sunroom is

bright, open and is a

very multifunctional

space. Lots of stor-

age provides space to

store the grandkids

toys, books and pool

towels. Even the

dogs were able to

claim some space.

There are lots of comfy corners to sit and admire the view

or even watch the game.

Roger Pajo from Creative Scapes recycled fence

boards from the current location and faced this

shed with them. It’s a great way to dress up a bor-

ing shed and add character. The bonus is saving

wood from the landfill.

Getting creative with holiday decorations is easy

when you think like Green Acres Nursery and

Supply. A blend of pumpkins, succulents and corn

stocks makes a dramatic piece for your patio or

entry. They also carry a great selection of

Christmas trees. You can create this too.

It’s the little things that

make all the difference.

When you walk into a

beautiful space chances are

you don’t pick out just one

or two things that make it

inviting and aesthetically

pleasing. It’s the little

things like functionality,

comfort and design that all

come together to create

a great outdoor space. The

right furniture, colors and

accents can change a nor-

mal patio into an outdoor

room. Outdoor Space De-

signs can help you put the

finishing touches on your

outdoor space. The ones

that make all the difference. Outdoor Space Designs
