Bring Your Insides Out :

Spring is upon us and summer is approaching. It is time for back yard shindigs, picnics and the beach. There is nothing I love more than creating an outdoor lounge from things around the house and spending as little mula as possible.

Whenever I host a party the first thing I do to set off the vibe is bring things from inside the house outside; rugs, a sofa and a coffee table. Then I start rummaging around the house or garage sales for ideas for the decor. Sometimes I call in favors to friends who may have that little extra finishing touch. Another great find is downtown L.A.'s fabric district for drapery or tipi making.

It is pretty simple to create an amazing, boho, gypsy picnic lounge. It juts takes a little time, creativity and some internet DIY searches.
