The Exterior & Landscaping Special
It\'s back! Our annual newsstand-only special devoted to your outdoor spaces is on sale now! This special Exterior & Landscape issue is all about tearing down the walls between our homes and gardens and expanding our living spaces by creating beautiful rooms inside and out. We visited some dreamy gardens decked out with the coziest furnishings and the lushest blooms. And the interiors in this issue promote stripping away the barriers, opening those windows and making each room breathable, open and vibrant so they remind you that nature is good for you. We hope you find a few projects in this issue that inspire you to enjoy your outdoor spaces and take an extra walk or two.
