Todd Warren of Otter Creek Awnings, Sunrooms & Custom Closets says, “Live more outdoors this year.” He explains, “We all know how short the summer season can be in Vermont. This is all the more reason to maximize the opportunity to live outdoors as often as possible. Trends for 2012 include updating and enlarging deck and patio areas; good-looking and comfortable outdoor furniture; long-lasting, maintenance-free materials; and retractable fabric awnings for shade and rain protection. Today’s outdoor living spaces are simply an extension of one’s interior space.”
“All of our buildings are Amish-made. The Amish are true craftsmen with great integrity, and they bring this quality to everything from a doghouse to a 12,000-square-foot barn. We’ve never had anybody not love their buildings.” Robert Therrien, The Carriage Shed
