fter 20 years, my husband and I decided it was time to “refresh” our home. I decided this time to do it right and work with a designer. Ana’s professional background in the real estate field and her passion for photography helped us decide that she was the one we wanted to work with.

Ana devoted many hours and weekends to ensure that we took our “traditional” looking home (our furniture was 20 years old!) into a fresh, bright, modern-transitional younger looking home.

From embarking on a contents sale to re-finishing our kitchen cupboards, picking new paint, changing the hardware, light fixtures, window coverings, re-doing our powder room and entrance, Ana’s contacts in the industry and uncanny eye for design resulted in a spectacular makeover!

ising temperatures and shining sun mean it's time to get outside. Whether you will be curling up with a book on your lounge chair or entertaining friends and family poolside, there are four key style trends that you will want to incorporate to help create your own outdoor oasis.

Here CINDY JARDIM, style and trends director for Lowe's, shares her tips for achieving these looks.

CU BAN COO L This festive, fun and vibrant transitional trend evokes images of lush island life and memories of tropical locales, letting your vacation come to you. Embrace woven wicker furnishings and warm copper with lively splashes of island greens, surf blues, fiery reds, and tropical citrus tints.

Consider keeping your lemonade cool with a palm tree ice cube or two.

R EN E WED FO R MALIT Y Comfort and classic details inspire this tailored and timeless trend. Bring indoor comfort into your outdoor living room with gazebos and pergolas framed by luxe drapes. Paired with oversized gold lanterns and glazed ceramics, this style creates an updated traditional aesthetic. A classic mix of layered neutrals, timeless greys, Catalina blue and soft coral define this polished look. >>>
