Today is officially the first day of summer so it’s definitely time to get outside and enjoy those backyards. Â A backyard is not complete without a beautiful area to lounge.
A few simple rules to follow:
1. Â LOVE your outdoor living space. Â You definitely won’t want to come outside and sit if you don’t like the space. Â It’s amazing what a little bit of cleaning up can do to a space.
2.  Greenery, greenery, greenery.  Probably the biggest transformation are those spaces that have flower boxes, potted plants  and layers of greenery.
3. Â Create a seating area thats conducive to conversation. Â Your patio furniture should be set up in the same way you would set up your living room. Â Don’t arrange furniture too far way from each other and always make sure there is a table near every seat to put a drink down.
Here are some of my DREAM outdoor spaces:
 Love the double wood coffee table mixed with the furniture.
I have been seeing lots of outdoor spaces featuring mirrors these days. Â And who doesn’t love a backyard filled with wispy grasses?
Love, love, love this space! Â Probably not the best idea for our Chicago winters but all of you California readers this could be another living space in your home. Â BEAUTIFUL!
The mix of color and and material makes this porch feel like a living room. Â The pillow combination is cheerful and bright.
 Simple. Beautiful.
Enjoy the weekend and we will see you back here on Monday!
