 Cooler weather doesn't mean the end of outdoor decorating. Changing things up seasonally is fresh and festive and keeps your home from feeling tired. Even small details that are thoughtful can be very inviting.

 Stately Symmetry
Tall container gardens, when guests are coming and going during the busy season, you want to dress your best. The simplicity of two planters flanking the door, making it a focal point.

 Monogrammed Urns
To give a little more interest to standard urn planters. The gold complements the hardware on the door, while standing out against the black surface.


  Seasonal Seating
A bright red bench to the front yard, which offers a cheery spot to admire the autumnal foliage. We also loved that big front door wreath, which is noticeable even from far away.

 Hay Bale Vignette
If you don't have enough room on your porch for a big display, simply relocate it to the front yard. It creates a natural focal point and provides support for heavier elements.

 Asymmetrical Appeal
Another great ,x pf umpkins and mums, arranged asymmetrically.Catch the tiny pumpkins dotting the transom window.



Your backyard doesn't expire by summer's end. Use these decorating ideas to transition your porch, patio or backyard for autumn.

Outdoor Daybed
Snuggling up on an outdoor swing looks like an all-weather activity when it's positioned in a snug alcove. Improvised this divan using rope, metal rings and wood.


Hanging Lanterns
That's no small stove. A house heats the entire loggia with a massive limestone fireplace. Curling up on one of the sectional sofas sounds extra relaxing under the glow of overhead lanterns.

Hooded Chair
The cushioned sofa and chaise lounge look comfy, but the star of this open-air living room is the antique Porter's chair. The canopied nook provides the perfect outdoor reading spot, and the best seat at the dining table.

Cozy Fireplace
Extend the season of alfresco dining with a freestanding chimney. Plus, summer's end means no pesky bugs.

Curtained Cabana
Pull back the thick drapes during the day or turn on the paper lanterns at night. Either way, this California pagoda looks perfectly dreamy.

Small spaces can be the bane of any flat-dweller's or home owner's life. But they can also be a blessing in design disguise. Awkward, small spaces are often a catalyst for change, forcing you to a) clear the clutter and b) come up with clever design ideas you may never have thought of otherwise. From small living rooms and small dining rooms, to small bedrooms, small bathrooms, small kitchens and kids' rooms, or even just small space storage solutions, we've delved in to the House & Garden achive to bring you clever, stylish ideas for every room of the house.

 The basic scheme in the living room is minimal but it has injected the visual interest through the colors, pattern and texture. The decoration scheme ethnic touches used throughout.

 Keep your bicycle out of the way and make a stylish feature of it with a wall-mounted bike rack. You don't need to store above the fireplace, a hallway will work just as well. 
The kitchen door which doubles as CD storage.
The wall shelves in the spare room - along with providing storage - draw the eye up, making the cosy ceilings appear higher, while a chair provides double duty as a bedside table.  An olive-stripe flatweave rug contrasts with a vibrant tartan rug used as a bedspread and cushions made from fabric pieces left over from projects.
Making use of natural light and mirrors to expand the space. Creating crisp, elegant, predominantly pale interiors - even on a small scale, putting favourite things into a new environment creates a fresh mood straight away.

In The Woodlands, where the average home sells for nearly half a million, new luxury-living options and mixed-use setups are changing the landscape. The population of the master-planned community has grown by 40 percent in the last decade, and now there's a construction boom to show for it.

Pockets of newly built mansions, like the six­bedroom modern French villa in the East Shore subdivision, on the market now for $5.5 million, are sprouting up a stone's throw from mixed-use developments with desirable amenities. There's the new Hughes Landing complex, boasting resort-inspired apartments and a huge Whole Foods. Across the lake, Ziegler Cooper's Research Forest Lakeside is a 10-building development with sleek offices and casual-cool-restaurants. And the Howard Hughes Corp.'s 23-story Treviso luxury condo tower, preselling now, will soon rise in the central Waterway district, near the Woodlands Pavilion.

Treviso, named after a medieval Italian town north of Venice, is the second condominium project in The Woodlands. Since The Howard Hughes Corp. finished the Waterway Lofts, a 56-unit condominium midrise, in 2006, the developer has fielded many calls from people interested in more condominiums in The Woodlands, Doyle said.


Many of the prospective condo buyers are empty nesters who are looking to downsize from a larger home in The Woodlands but want to stay near friends and family in the master-planned community, Doyle said. Some of the buyers are single working professionals who want a short commute to work inside The Woodlands and hassle-free living near The Woodlands Town Center, Waterway Square Plaza and The Woodlands Waterway, he added. “There’s now an interest and acceptance of high-rise living,” Doyle said. “That’s the trend. People want urban mixed-use, walkable centers that are close to all the activity.”


Treviso will feature one- to three-bedroom condominium units with a study and two-and-a-half bathrooms, averaging 1,750 square feet. The units, which start at $650,000, will feature quartz countertops, German Miele appliances and wine chiller, lacquer-finished cabinets, hardwood floors and 10- to 12-foot ceilings with expansive glass windows overlooking The Woodlands.

The top two stories will feature penthouses, which have seen the most demand so far, Doyle said. Customers will have the option to customize the floor plans and upgrade the materials, finishes and appliances inside the penthouse units, he added.

Treviso’s common-area amenities include a resident clubroom with a lounge and demonstration kitchen, private dining area, a fitness center, a resort-style pool with cabanas and a sun shelf and an outdoor grill and fire pit. The Howard Hughes Corp. also is considering 24-hour concierge service and security, Doyle said. There will be space on the ground floor for two restaurants, he added.


The glass, brick and stone-base tower, designed by Atlanta-based The Preston Partnership LLC, will feature contemporary and clean design, evocative of Europe, Doyle said. The Texas division of Alabama-based Hoar Construction will be the general contractor, and Houston-based Sudhoff Cos. is marketing and selling the units.

The Howard Hughes Corp. plans to begin construction before the end of this year— hopefully in October after about half of the units are sold, Doyle said. The developer is targeting an opening date sometime in the first quarter of 2017, he added.


Meanwhile, the health care industry has set out to give energy a run for its money. Just as Exxon Mobil opens its 385-acre campus, hospitals including Memorial Hermann, Texas Children's and St. Luke's have invested a total of $850 million in new or renovated facilities in The Woodlands.

Statistically Speaking:  
  • 34,770 Estimated maximum number of homes that can be built in The Woodlands; there are currently about 33,000.
  • 7,235 Total acreage of green spaces, including golf courses and forest preserves.
  • 14,100 Number of jobs The Woodlands Development Co. Projects the suburb will add in the next five years.

  • 86 Private Residences
  • Steps away from fine dining and entertainment
  • Concierge, Porter Service and peace of mind with access controlled environment
  • From $649,000
