Vega+Bernier
–continued from page 31 speare’s moonlight and musk roses transform his characters’ midsummer night. While many features of outdoor living have improved in appearance and advanced environmental propriety over the years, the fundamentals hardly change. Ventless fireplaces, for example, that run on natural gas instead of wood, sustain air quality in your yard and neighborhood, while providing living areas with the warm glow of that essential element, fire. Ceiling fans stir the air and drive away bugs. Well-designed plantings lend life and color and last year round without draining the environment of precious water. In the end it’s not just the big stuff that counts. It’s not the expansive pool, the sprawling TV screen, the abundant rosebushes or the sparkling white, concrete dining room table and chairs. And it’s not the little stuff, either: the individual blades of a minimalist lawn, the lime green floral print of the cushions, the slow-turning fronds of the fan, the ancient mimosa, the brand new Green Egg cooker. It’s more than that. Your life indoors and outdoors is cumulative. In the words of John Vega and Michael Bernier, “Everything Matters.” AMHD
