21 Luxe Patio, Pergola, & Pool Design Inspirations is especially for fantasy summer time outdoor oasis design savvy folks who dream of backyard beauty. While my own ‘backyard beauty’ (oooh, it aint there yet!) entails woodland forestry and a campground-like fairy wonderland, alive with fawns, foxes, and fat squirrels, a girl can get her fix here in Lovelyland!
