Creative & Cozy Outdoor Spaces READ HERE

Making the most of your outdoor space extends your actual living space. Think 4th of July and other celebrations where the outdoors is put to good use.

No matter whether your space is a yard, a porch or patio, deck or balcony, use that space to the fullest.

And then of course there is mine...

A patio behind an apartment in the city. 

Do you have a favorite?

How Spring Has Inspired My Decorating READ HERE

When spring arrives, I get the itch to decorate outdoors. I have just put up a gazebo from Wayfair, and added outdoor furniture I already had. I love my new little space on my big apartment patio!
It is a sweet little oasis out of the sun to have coffee and work on my laptop. Or I can just sit and enjoy watching the birds and gaze at my plants and flower in containers all around me. An added bonus is listening to my water feature, which is so relaxing!
There are so many ways you can decorate your outdoor space. There are many great things on the market to spruce up your porch or patio or deck. 
I have created an Idea Board below to show you all of the elements I would choose to create the perfect outdoor room. 
The colors I chose were to provide a tranquil setting. To me blue and green are the colors of sky and nature, and that is a serene combination to use.

From My Window... READ HERE

This is my view of the patio from inside...

On the right is the table where I eat. On the left is my desk.

I am enjoying my new view immensely.

This is my view from my bedroom window.
Even though I have only a few windows, I try to make sure that what I see out of them is something that makes me smile.

NOTE: I have been getting emails asking for the link to my gazebo. Here it is.
