About this Showroom
I am a Senior Program Manager for a large tech company, which takes up a big chunk of my life. When I'm not working, you'll find me with my kids enjoying the last bit of time I can before they remember I'm not cool and ditch me for their friends. Of course, being ditched does have its perks— when I find myself alone is when I relax. I might be enjoying a nice glass of wine, reading a book by the fire on my Outer sofa, soaking in the hot tub, or in the kitchen testing a new recipe. We recently completed a large backyard renovation, so we now have two defined spaces with brand new patio covers. We added a new deck under one of these covers that was built right up to the hot tub, and our Outer sofa is set up there around a large fire pit. It’s a cozy little space with amazing views of downtown Reno and the surrounding mountains. Ours is a very quiet neighborhood that's close to the center of town but feels worlds away. Sitting outside with the warm breeze on your face, it's easy to forget that you're in the biggest little city. In the evenings sounds of coyotes and crickets fill the air, while during the day you can hear and see cows, geese, doves, and the wild mustangs, which regularly grace us with their presence. In 2020, it also became the only safe place we could visit with high-risk parents. This is when I invested in Outer and set out to make my yard as comfortable as it could be. My backyard is my happy place. It's a gathering place for family and friends and where I connect and catch up with my kids.
