FUN IN
(OR OUT OF)
THE SUN
“I wanted to create a bit of an oasis
resort vibe out there,” Saeed says of
her outdoor deck. The backyard’s
eastern exposure made for hot after-
noons, so she strung curtains along
steel wire between posts to block
some of the sunlight. She takes them
down in winter. “There’s a lot of seat-
ing for the whole family, which lives
out east,” she says. “We used to host
so many weekends and parties.” ■
