Each home on the tour had a beautiful outdoor living space! Portland is so beautiful that it was great to see the homes go beyond the indoors. In my opinion Utah is just as beautiful yet most of us are not taking advantage of its beauty. Here we commonly have too much of a barrier between the homes and the yards. We need to rethink how we live, and incorporate our homes and our yards much better. If you are in the process of building or remodeling your home don’t forget to talk to your professional about how your home relates to its environment!
