After the indoor interior design Splendidness of the last two weeks, it's now time for me to get outdoors and transform a dark and dingy urban yard into an impressive entertaining space as part of my HomeSense & Huff Post challenge - I'm keeping everything crossed for sunny Spring Manchester weather!
