Taking It Outside with Design Guide

Today I am over at Design Guide and I’m talking about easy outdoor updates. If your outdoor space needs a little sprucing up but you don’t have the budget for an overhaul, these small changes are a good place to start. Rugs, pillows and new fabric on your existing furniture cushions can instantly update your outdoor space.

If your not familiar with Design Guide here are a few of the details. Design Guide is a regionally-focused book of ideas, a source of inspiration and a directory for the finest home furnishings, products and services available. With publications in Dallas, Fort Worth, Austin and San Antonio — and more on the way — Design Guide continues to stay at the forefront of the design industry.

My absolute part of their site is the Consignment Board. It’s a great place to find deep discounts on fabulous pieces from showrooms, designers and galleries in Texas. Here are a few of my favorite pieces from the Consignment Board. I can’t believe these deals and I wish we had a place for the freestanding tub!
