The enigma comes in with transient nature of industry and employment of techniques that are improper. Roofing flashings are usually laborious to replace properly and almost always neglected. With a strong underlayment, an actual flashing leak can be disguised for several years. The leak, while unnoticed by building owner, is poised to present a major problem down road. The mentality that ice & water shield is cure-all is just wrong. The only time underlayment should be wet is in event of catastrophic weather conditions.

•You can improvise a table from a hollow core or solid core door set on cement blocks or stacks of bricks. Cover it with layers of rich cloths in your chosen colors. You’ll find this table sits low to ground and you’ll be able to eat in traditional Moroccan way: sitting on pillows and rugs. Cover cushions with co-ordinating or contrasting fabrics in rich finishes. Use azure, persimmon and lots and lots of gold fabric.

•Tiles are an absolute must in Moroccan style. If you cannot incorporate them in floor of your space, by painting a tiled pattern on a wooden deck, laying tiles on a patio, or edging your pool-side cabana, be sure to pick them up in a tabletop, a plant pot, a wall-hanging or a large tray. Mix bright turquoise or azure blue and goldy-orange tile pieces in intricate patterns to capture Moorish look.

•Moroccan-style lanterns usually have some sort of filigree work, whether wicker, metal or some other material. They are often pointed at both ends, necessitating hanging. Most often, they will enclose a flame, either of candles or small oil torches. You can also use white or ivory pillar candles instead of, or in addition to, hanging lanterns.

•Use accent pieces of dark wood or brass. Pile a brass tray high with exotic fruit such as persimmons, tangerines and glossy pomegranates.

•For greenery, use succulents such as banana trees and mother-in-law’s tongue, and tropicals like palms and ficus. You can also add more color to your space with lush pots of bright geraniums.

Use rich color and sensual textures of Morocco in your outdoor space and this summer you’ll be escaping to casbah!
