High tea
I'm busy renovating one of my Outdoor entertainment areas. This is normally were I'm entertaining my girl friends to tea parties and/or light lunches ... tucked away far from busy home and office life in the far corner of the garden. Did you know: It’s actually scientifically proven that people who have lunch/dinner in groups of 5 or more at least once per week are happier than people who don’t.
I've played with colour as it's a fun place, not as formal as when I'm entertaining for dinner.
.... a place to dream, cherish, inspire, rejuvenate and share secrets
I love the colour on the walls (done by hubby and son)
