title: Garden Ornaments: 30 Beautiful Projects for Decorating Your Garden
author:  Moira Hankinson 
description: Today everyone wants to make the most of their outdoor space, whether it is a small patio, yard or mature garden. The furnished garden may contain grand and impressive statuary, fountains and follies, but just as visually exciting is the urban back yard paved and filled with stone urns and terracotta pots and featuring table and chairs for outdoor entertaining.

Your "green" room can be decorated and redecorated just as you would inside the house.
