When appropriate and for parties, Rollins likes to use tablecloths on plain outdoor-ready tables "because it feels more inviting." Using classic, simple terra-cotta pots throughout her garden allows her to keep a coordinated look and the pots can easily be used indoors as well.

A Trellis for Every Occasion

A dog sits in a backyard dog washing station that is comprised of trellis, pea gravel, river rock and a stone border. The trellis is the perfect spot for towels and a hose to hang on.

Rollins' pool house is a great hangout for fairer skinned visitors who want to hang out there but still be in on the poolside action. "If you're pale, you can still be a part of it," she says. The retro lattice motif as well as the navy and white color scheme integrate the pool house with the rest of the garden. There's a bathroom, a storage closet and a wet bar though Rollins prefers to bring coolers outside for parties rather than bother with the maintenance hassle of an outdoor fridge.
