    This lavish book from Veranda-the magazine that knows the art of luxurious living-offers a wealth of ideas for creating exceptional outdoor rooms and spaces.
    You’re invited to enjoy abundant gardens, elegant porches, stunning courtyards, and magnificent pools-all of which grace homes designed by the world’s best, most influential designers. Covering elements of outdoor style like lush landscapes, verdant escapes, and evocative views, Veranda Escapes: Alluring Outdoor Style provides insider access to dozens of breathtaking designs from around the world and in many different styles. They include a resplendent Connecticut “garden of Eden,” artfully framed by clipped hedges and swathes of green; a sensual, spiritual, and rose-filled coastal enclave in Montecito; a Moroccan-inspired dream house in Dallas; and a glamorous oceanfront estate in Palm Beach with a courtyard and a set of loggias. They will inspire you to create your own gracious, exquisite outdoor spaces.

      I'm so glad you enjoy it. I always feel like my contribution (usually at the end of the book review) is so trivial compared to the book. I appreciate your encouragement.

    Loving the two-times a week videos! I checked in after posting 12 minutes. This one will have to have a second or maybe 3rd look. It is so colorful and beautiful. I will probably buy this book just from your review. Your own yard/plants are lovely and I always enjoy your segment you add. Thank you Nina ~ 😍

      Ahh- that makes me happy. You’re almost there! Tomorrow is Thursday, or as my son calls it, “Friday Jr.” I’ll be back on Friday with Susanna Salk and a fun trip to a vintage shop. Hope to see you then.

    I like your videos that highlight outdoor spaces just as much as the interior. Yes, Dipladenias are fantastic! I love to garden and spent two hours outside this morning, Pruning is so therapeutic.

    WOW!! The book was amazing and may have to add it to my collection of Veranda books. Your garden ideas are very inspiring. I live in Zone 4a or 4b in Alberta Canada. We tend to grow many plants as do our southern neighbours albeit our growing season (window) is very small but we can grow gardens full of wonderful plantings. I do love the dipladenia I usually grow white in my black obelisks in Black pots. They truly do never let me down. Thank you,as always, for opening us up to these books of which you have a gift for introducing and filming with such a lovely narrative ❤

      I appreciate your kind words and I love the idea of white Dipladenia with black obelisks and pots. I bet that is striking.

    I have discovered the Mandevil plant for a summer climber. It’s an indoor plant in England but I have found in Essex and Suffolk where I live you can plant it outside from May until November but even if you bring it in for Winter it can’t be saved. Thank you for your channel I now have a few coffee table books from your suggestions, much to my husband’s bewilderment 🤭🙄
