Previous Issue: Vol 4 Issue 9
Have you noticed how the start of summer always seems to mark a more relaxed way of thinking and living? Now the warm weather's here, most of us are probably looking forward to a break and the chance to simply kick back in the sunshine, dawdle over breakfast, meet up with friends and finally get onto those projects that have been waiting in the wings. If you too, have a summer project you're itching to start, you may be interested in some advice I was given that sounds particularly wise: take it easy, don't be in a hurry to finish, you'll enjoy it more by savouring each step along the way. And that must surely bring us to the part where we kick back and relax - and enjoy all the great summer-focused articles in our Summer Living issue.

The holiday room
Be inspired by this colourful patio revamp to create a happy, relaxed space where you can entertain or simply please yourself. Bright colours and access to both the garden and the house will make it the most lived-in room this summer. |

Table magic
Christmas will never be the same again! This solid extension table by Royal Botania from Parterre can seat ten to fourteen people, so it's an entertainer's dream. The stackable carver chairs are made of solid teak, as is the table. The seat and scatter cushions come in a range of great colours including white, crème, green, blue, grey, cappuccino, black and much more. |

Lapping it up
From pool parties in the day to a stunning water feature at night, make your pool the centre of attention this summer! This amazing pool by Mediterranean Pools & Spas won a highly coveted Platinum Award at SPASA NSW Pool and Spa Awards and is truly magnificent. We love the mirror at one end and the lap-pool on the side. |

Follow that dream house!
Lee and Laurie moved to Sydney from Dubbo in northwest New South Wales ten years ago in search of something special. Their beautiful home in the Northern Beaches is certainly something special, the cabana by the pool has a decidedly Indonesian air about it and is the perfect space to while away the summer and entertain visitors.
