These outdoor space mistakes that I see you guys doing are SOOOO easy on the budget to fix! Tell me your FAV below 👇and let me know what ELSE you want to know next!!!I 💚💚
Perhaps you could mount a bat-house high up somewhere?🙂 They are a sort of wooden box with angled slatted openings, I think?🤔 I have seen pictures of such bat-dwellings online...Google to find?😀 Wishing you good luck inviting these amazing & helpful flying mammals to live near you!😊
@@saraheschweiler4939 Totally! I recently learned you have to be really careful about simply buying these, say, off Amazon. They need to be carefully designed and placed for temperature control and other factors. Sadly, the bat population near me is getting decimated by wind turbines along with fungus 😢
Just a thought about the planting of bamboo... it is considered a highly invasives specie, and can end up costing you TONS of $$ (thousands, tens of thousands sometimes) to remove it. It is not allowed in our town. Just to let you know. Be careful. One man had to replace his neighbor's foundation- it rooted under his house and began lifting it up!
@@LisaHoltDesign Yes- thank you for pointing this out! I so heart all you continue to do. Thank you. And I REALLY should have taken a moment prior to posting. You are simply the best and I am in awe. Thank you.
@@LisaHoltDesign Hi! In parts of California you cannot get home insurance if you haver bamboo of any kind, including clumping bamboo. Its considered a fire hazard. From Fire Safe Marin (where i live) Bamboo should be removed within 30 ‘ of structures or 10’ of roads and driveways according to the fire code adopted by Marin fire agencies. LOVE your channel. Warm regards,
For fire on my wooden apartment tiny balcony, I’m taking battery operated candles out on a tray in the evening tucked among flowering potted plants. The light flickers through the petals.
I appreciate very much for the time and effort you and your team dedicated to this channel. Learning with your Q&A Livestream is fun and enriching. It isn’t easy to allocate two hours to a Q&A Livestream, how about 30 minutes?
Such amazing tips - we live in a tiny house at the beach and the extension outside of our tiny home is so important...also solar outdoor lights are an amazing addition especially where we live in the south of France where sunshine reigns and we wanna b environmentally friendly and keep the bills down 🥰
Great timing to straighten us out on these items. Love your eyeglasses frames. Good to know about the lighting options that are rechargeable, long-lasting LED decorative light sources. So pertinent that you mention that we don't want anything jarringly at odds with either the interior of our home from whence we can see the outdoor living space nor with the home's exterior. It is good that you've reminded us that fencing & coverings for privacy, including greenery added, often add to sound absorption. I think it is way too easy to forget that fragrance should be planned and doesn't just happen from nearby plants or the barbecue.
I went with the solar string bistro lights since I didn’t have an electric source. I have them for the patio area below my deck. They work great. That said, I only use them for show since I never use the space. Yes. I’m that shallow. First time seeing your video. Good suggestions. Keep up the good work.
The scented plants were my favorite idea because it's so simple but I can see how it'll instantly change the vibe of a space. I'd love a video on bringing "80s rec rooms" into the current era or multi purpose rooms generally-- what can be combined, what shouldn't, and layout options that factor function and form.
I just Love you and your videos. Thank you so much. I have taken your advice directly to all of my clients. And they always agree with me. Your the BEST EVER. Love from Canada
That’s very kind 😊 Have you considered joining me at dezignspace.com ? I have a huddling community over there, exclusive videos and tools that can help with any project. Hope to see you there. 😊
Lisa, I take away valuable information from every one of your posts that I can easily implement into my own scenario. And you do it with such fun and flair. Thanks
I have a friend that has a small terrace in Barcelona and OMG it’s so nice! I noticed the lights right away and as you say it completes the theme at dusk and night in the most perfect way. Spot on with your recommendations!
I love your advice and this was no exception, BUT, please, NO BAMBOO! Even clumping bamboo takes off eventually. There are thousands of bushes and shrubs that won’t leave someone in the future cursing.
Where can the battery lighting (Fat Boys!) be purchased? Retail or online. Genius. Also, Lisa, love the scent of jasmine. May get busy with a trellis to grow climbing variety. So nice. Thanks. Love your videos. And tell me about your eye glass frames, please. Brand?
We basically stay in or if go out in summer we are indoors! The mosquitoes are crazy bad ! Near where we live ny parents can't even go into their bsck yard anymore!
Beautiful ideas, but some of us live in HOAs in the south (first time living in an HOA-not my choice) Not only are we restricted in what we can do even to our backyards but I can't keep anything clean with the amount of pollen that rains down on us. We just moved to Savannah from California and it's crazy the amount of pollen we get from the pine trees. Then we have to deal with wind/hurricanes and rain, so I feel I can't have all the beautiful things I had in California in the backyard. I even need a solution for our screened in porch with algae growth and pollen. 😢
You are so right about fire pits and outdoor fireplaces in Florida! It’s difficult to really get the real benefit out of them. So many Florida folks opt for candles (battery-operated and otherwise) to provide some ambiance. And there are some excellent scented candles that can do double duty as lighting and fragrance (if you can enjoy scented candles).
Lisa do you think you could do a interior designing video on exotic global design or global design! ? I have a beautuful brass tray top table we use for a coffee table i just bought on f.b.marketplace , it was bought in Africa in 1970 and was broght back to the states by a global traveler! I love so many different global decor and furniture, i don't know where to start. Love animals this coffee table has African animals etched in the beautiful brass , but I also love Asian design and have an antique asian lamp from the 40's that was something I inherited! Not up yet need to get recorded! Love all global design!I have no idea how to incorporate all and more we might buy without looking like a crazy mishmash! Thanks!
Lisa, your skin is beautiful! Skincare tips? 😊 Ok this video… LOVE all of the designs! We have alot of pretty greenery & relaxing peace here in Oregon, but wish the mosquitos and bees would stop visiting us uninvited. 😏
Still waiting on the EXTREME weather outdoor living spaces I've been asking about for 2 yrs now....Florida has heat & humidity that's off the charts for 6 months of the year and since everyone and their brother is moving there might be nice to finally entertain the idea.
Lisa, we have an enormous problem here in San Mateo County, CA. And I'm sure a lot of other areas have new rules about NO GAS FIREPLACES or even gas ranges (soon) in the kitchen or anywhere else in the home. This goes for all new construction and remodels. I have not seen a single electric fireplace that I like, regardless of the price. Even the most expensive ones (that require water/steam) look fake to me. My house is from 1907 and the decorating style is English Tudor/Storybook. So everything is antique looking - not modern in the least. What can I do now? I was planning on using a LOT of gas fireplaces throughout the home for ambiance and heating purposes. This is going to be more than a remodel - more like a complete rebuild. If you have any ideas, regarding realistic looking antique style fireplaces (that are not gas), I would certainly like to hear about them. Thanks in advance!
@@Kath-Erina Wood burning fireplaces would be my first choice, but they have been banned in our area for years. Only people who already have them can use them, and are fined heavily if used on a "spare the air" day. It seems that half the days in the year are now "spare the air" days. I have one wood burning fireplace in my house, but it's completely falling apart and can't be used as is. If rebuilding, the City makes people convert to electric fireplaces now.
@@kimmyz ah okay, yeah that sucks... In my country wood fireplaces are allowed but only with special filters in the chimney to filter out particles and co2. Is that something your city will be okay with maybe?
@@Kath-Erina Unfortunately, no wood burning is allowed - even with catalytic converters or whatever they are called. The only people who can use them are the people who already have wood burning fireplaces. And they are greatly discouraged from using them. I know that lots of people are allergic and it's bad to burn wood, coal, gas or anything when it comes to our fragile ozone layer. But so far, nobody has come up with anything that looks good when it comes to electric fireplaces (antique ones). Also, keep in mind that our homes are probably a lot closer together than yours (?) So having a wood burning fireplace right next door (here) might very well bother the next door neighbor. Another reason that wood burning fireplaces are no longer allowed is because it's nearly impossible to make the house air-tight and therefore energy efficient. Even with the flue closed, warm air can escape up the chimney.
There’s lots of weatherproof options or covers if you need easy access to dry cushions. There’s also external boxes for safe storage of soft items if there’s a severe storm.

Hey Lisa, what could we use for ambiance instead of a fire pit or fire place where it is just too hot most of the year to want to light a fire like for a tropical yard near sea level?
Can u use candles as ur fire source? Maybe some in glass jars of different heights on a tray of some sort. Or, a short wide candle in a bowl type vessel sitting on a coffee table or similar? That coukd even b ur fragrance too, if needed.
I have clumping bamboo, called baby panda and it's perfect for screening and fast growing too. It's about 5 years old now, reached it's maturity after 3 years and is low maintenance and does the job perfectly

My mistake is not having an effective mosquito killer. Or enough bats.

@Carly Friesen white nose is a fungus encouraged by folks who install bat houses, but don't clean them 😒
Ilove the ideas, but I don’t see the links to the products. I’m especially interested in the fat lights (led?).

Like she specifically said, only clumping bamboo, not running bamboo. Clumping bamboo is the safe choice. I know from first hand experience as well.
You want clumping, not running bamboo. You can also consider clumping bamboo in sealed containers but consider drainage when planning these.

Hi Lisa, love the idea of hanging LED rechargeable lights, especially the hanging ball! Can you tell us where to find them?
Great tips! I love those lighting solutions you mentioned! It's going to make such a difference in the ambience of an outdoor space!
She’s on point. I like the indoor/ outdoor living stories. Work really well in Australia.

Keep herbs on my lanai like basil fragrant and cookable double payoff.

Firepits are not a thing in Europe, It didn't catch!
But fountains... everyone has one!
There are a lot of us with HOA restrictions re: fences, plantings etc.
We would love links to these decor products so we can purchase them. ❤
I live next to a farm... Fragrance in my garden is up to the wind direction!!! 😂
😆
Need to up my game with the ambiance tips - missing water element and fragrance!
I have a friend that has a small terrace in Barcelona and OMG it’s so nice! I noticed the lights right away and as you say it completes the theme at dusk and night in the most perfect way. Spot on with your recommendations!

I have the Corona Virus Garden, and I haven't finished the inside yet.😅
Me too! Bring it on🎉
Wonderful content once again!💯
Would love to have a firepit like we did in our last house in NY, but we live in Florida now and it would hardly get used because of the heat. 🥵

So many Florida folks opt for candles (battery-operated and otherwise) to provide some ambiance. And there are some excellent scented candles that can do double duty as lighting and fragrance (if you can enjoy scented candles).
Just started watching this channel and i think Lisa is so much fun! What an electric personality!
YAY! Welcome to the fun crowd! Be sure to put that bell on, so you know when I drop new vids! xo L
I'm going to try some oversized travertine tiles for my outdoor space, wish me luck!
Good luck!
I love the "tear drop" looking lights at 1:55. Can you tell us what they are or where we can find them? Thanks!

Thanks Lisa. I really loved this video full to the brim with your fun personality too!
What wonderful tips. Thank you
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thank you Lisa.

Audrey Hepburn vibes, so beautiful!
What about rugs!!! Do we want outdoors rugs or nah??
Depends on the area. You can find more information at dezignspace.com
What about the furniture when it rains?
There’s lots of weatherproof options or covers if you need easy access to dry cushions. There’s also external boxes for safe storage of soft items if there’s a severe storm.

Wondering if swarms of bugs are coming to all the lights. I live more rural and imagine it will here.
No more than any low lights. Get a bug zapper. That should help. 😊
Well this odd not cool, we can easily see these sun glasses are Tom Ford… not Warne Parker.
😆
Do the string lights attract bugs and mosquitos?
Moths love a light. They don’t overly attract bugs. Bright lights attract. If you have a bug zapper near by you shouldn’t have to many issues. ☺️
Great ideas !

Bamboo is a definite no no. Regardless of the type, it is invasive and a nightmare.
I have clumping bamboo, called baby panda and it's perfect for screening and fast growing too. It's about 5 years old now, reached it's maturity after 3 years and is low maintenance and does the job perfectly
Always look into your environmental conditions when choosing plantings. If you use bamboo select clumping not running. Enclosed containers also help.
