It would be nice to see someone sitting in those pretty, sunny chairs eating the summery food, but perhaps their very emptiness makes them seem that much more available. Heck, why not eat out there too? Cumberbatch suggests morning espresso, lunch alfresco, afternoon tea, and casual birthday parties. Her concepts are simple: lots of supersaturated color, interesting textures, plenty of plants, comfortable sturdy furniture, and tough fabrics make the porch and yard a fun place to be. --Barrie Trinkle. Using principles outlined in her previous book on interior home design, Pure Style, Jane Cumberbatch now moves the party outside to the patio and garden, a space that is often underutilized in today's over-air-conditioned, remote-controlled world.
Why should't you use the same principles of design employed in your house to enhance your back yard? That's the idea behind "Pure Style Outdoors" in which Jane Cumberbatch takes her unique approach to interior decoration - based on the timeless appeal of simple, natural materials and objects that are functional as well as good-looking - and applies it to the exterior of the house. With more than 300 full-color photographs and a comprehensive source guide to the wares featured in the book, Pure Style Outdoors is a guide to making your home's exterior as smart and inviting as its interior.. Here are a host of ideas on making the most of your outside space, whether it is a modest city balcony or roof terrace, a shady courtyard, or a rambling country garden
lots of beautiful, simple pictures I really liked the simplicity of Jane Cumberbatch's book, Pure Style, and I was equally impressed with Pure Style Outdoors. She presents numerous images of serene and unassuming design concepts that can recreated or imitated easily. The book demonstrates that beauty can be found and created by displaying simple, everyday objects. Pure Style Outdoors offers inspiration for those of us who have up till now avo. Food A Customer I loved this book. Mostly the simple food ideas Jane has. Her writing style makes me want to go outside and eat a simple meal and enjoy the world around me. I wish she would write a Pure Style cookbook with the way she prepares every day food she and her family enjoys. I'd love to go to Jane's some summer afternoon and have a great meal or a winter evening by the roaring fire.
