Houzz Call: Show Us Your Great Patio, Deck or Rooftop!
Give your patio a chance at the spotlight as we head outdoors for a new summer ideabook series
I am putting my Basement of the Week series on hold for the summer to get us away from the subterranean spaces and outside during the nice weather. We'll be featuring a great patio, deck, rooftop or other creative backyard space each week. We're looking for projects from homeowners as well as pros, so get out your cameras, get a great shot and give your new outdoor space its big break.
Shoot us a picture of your space and post it in the Comments section below. If we choose it for a featured ideabook, we will need at least four high-quality, high-resolution shots; they can be a mix of the whole space, smaller spots within it and close-ups. They do not need to be taken by a professional, but they do need to be in focus, well lit and big (at least 1,000 pixels wide).
If you have beautiful surroundings, we'd love to see the views from your patio as well.
Let us know where you're located and how you enjoy your outdoor space. Do you sunbathe, entertain or watch the little ones while you enjoy a cocktail, have meals or toast marshmallows?
Be prepared to have a little phone or email chat with yours truly if you're interested in having your patio or deck featured as a Patio of the Week. I promise it will be quick and painless.
Pros and amateurs are both welcome and will be given equal consideration. I look forward to seeing everyone's spaces. Bring them on!
