Backyard Pool Chronicles Part 5: Staging

When it comes to making an outdoor space, staging is key.   Last post described a pool deck as a "concrete jungle".  Staging transforms a patio from concrete jungle to oasis.  Layout of patio furniture can make a pool deck insanely cultured or purposeful and relaxing.  
My in-laws asked me to create a potted garden and bring some organic elements to their space.  About 15 pots later, and some bonus lanterns this is the result.
