W ith the summer months around the corner I always look forward to the exterior elements of the season. Incorporating an outdoor room to relax and enjoy the hot days and cooler nights may be just what you (and I) need! Building and designing these popular garden rooms does not have to cost a lot, and is fairly simple if you follow the layering rule. In this issue we'll take a peek at some of the most beautiful yet basic outdoor rooms. Offering you inspiration to get out and design your own—you'll love it and so will your friends and family. I am counting on it. If you can manage this outdoor room quickly you may consider the big reveal during a Cinco de Mayo gathering. From margaritas to guac, we offer tips and tricks for making your fiesta a success. Of course spring and summer are the bustling time for real estate, our market stats show a snippet of the activity in the area. If you are looking to sell during this time take note that not all buyers appreciate your four-legged friend, or more specifically, the smell of your four-legged friend. Learn to get rid of the pet odor, sell your home and keep Fido none the wiser. One thing I always look forward to in the summer months are visits from family out of state. Although these visits are often the highlight of my summer, having house guests can be somewhat anxiety inducing. A little prep and imagination can help you put together a guest room that will be both welcoming while taking much of the hostess/host pressure off of you. So many ideas, projects and... real estate to think about during these months. I am looking forward to it—all! Welcome Summer! Cindy Kelly Windermere Real Estate/East Cindy
