Author Notes

CHARLOTTE HEDEMAN GUENIAU founded RICE in 1998 a few months after her son Max was born. She and her French husband Phillippe wanted to change their lives, having lived and worked in Paris for 15 years, so moved to Odense, Denmark and founded their ethical homewares empire. Now, 13 years later, RICE Denmark has a lovely office and showroom in an old shipyard building near the waterfront in Odense. The pair design and source ethically produced products in Thailand and India and their wares can be found in the smartest stores worldwide. RICE Thailand employs 70 people, with several villages producing different collections. In India, Himanshu Singh roams around the country and sources products for the company, making sure that all suppliers are up to standards of the SA 8000 certification.

The exuberant colors and vintage touches that Guéniau, founder of the Danish housewares firm RICE, showcased for interiors in her previous book, Happy Home, are brought to the outdoors in this volume. She provides decorating ideas for porches, decks, sheds, garden shelters, gardens, and trailers, including examples of how to bring an outdoor feeling to interiors, all in more than 250 color photographs. Ideas for outdoor entertaining for picnics, bonfires, screenings, and children's parties along with a handful of recipes are presented. Throughout, Guéniau shares her tips on arranging furniture and decorative accessories to create pleasing outdoor living spaces. Instructions for more than a dozen simple projects for cushions, flower pots, swings, candleholders, and the like are furnished. VERDICT Guéniau's personal approach to decorating and entertaining will provide readers with plenty of colorful ideas. © Copyright 2016.
