DC Inspired: A Patio That Channels Napoleon Bistro

Oui, s’il vous plait! Transform your backyard into a scene from a French movie.

After spending an afternoon out on the sunny patio at
Napoleon
Bistro

this summer, I thought, Why not bring the French bistro feeling
home? Put together
your own European oasis right in your backyard with fun red and
white stripes, bright
yellow pillows, and, of course, a little bubbly.
