DO consider a sideboard that can hold large dishes and transform into a bar when you are dining al fresco.

I thought I saw a Texas license plate on your car - if you are in Texas, some big stars would be perfect!

Make the entire area inviting. I'm guessing from the thriving cactus here that July is not the best month to eat at this table, but it's so darn cute on this patio, I might just do it anyway!

5. Decorate your "room" to make it a true extension of your home. This outdoor dining room is a perfect place to incorporate personal taste and style with furniture and accessory choices. Look for way to incorporate art on a large wall (side of your house) or nearby fence.

Today these stars are usually crafted of metal, but originally they were painted onto the barns. According to legend, they were a hex sign used by German immigrants in America, which included the Amish/Mennonite communities as well as the Pennsylvania Dutch folks. Different colors had different meanings. Green barn stars symbolize growth, fertility, success in things and ideas that grow.

Art works wonders on indoor and outdoor spaces alike. These green stars really stand out against the brick background. Tip: Scour flea markets and thrift stores for inexpensive decorative pieces. As long as you don't spend much, it won't matter how roughly the weather treats them. Sometimes they can even end up looking better with a little wear.

Use your exterior walls like you use your interior walls: paint them, hang art, add shelves.

Unity can also be established with color. Verdigris green in a variety of applications holds things together in this patio of mostly neutral and natural surfaces. The two oversize stars echo the door trim, which in turn echoes the planted succulents on the tabletop and the potted cactus.

An adobe wall and a simple patio set may be all you need. The bright green stars on the corner plus the blues and greens of the roofline may seem modern, but bright colors are a common touch in traditional gardens. Note the centerpiece of succulents and the cactus as an accent piece by the door. (Be sure to place cacti far enough from the passageway that unwary guests won't get attacked.)
