Today is the final day for Outdoor Living, and rather than make it complicated (it is a Friday, after all), I thought I would just indulge in some more pictures of landscapes and outdoor rooms that I am currently coveting. Taken mostly from Martha Stewart Living and Sunset, the scenes below are my idea of inspiring outdoor living...
All I need is a lake. And a dock. And that sweet furniture....
Nevermind that it will take about 20 years for the trees in my neighborhood to be as big as the ones in the background here... Maybe I can make a gravel path like this one to tide me over...
Beautiful landscape with trailing stone pathway--I could maybe do that. Large, open meadow full of lushness off my trailing stone pathway--I doubt my luck extends that far...
My outdoor settings look more like paper napkins and plastic forks--but I'd much rather eat here...
I'd take a nap here any day.
Probably one of my all-time favorite outdoor rooms (I have a picture of this in my design notebook). So charming. So quaint. After three or so years I'm still trying to figure out how I can pull something like this off on my patio. Needless to say, I have a long way to go...
Finally, where else but outside can you pull off a canopy? Ahh...I wish I was her...
And so it is with these dreams and visions in my head that I conclude this mini-series. But we still have a whole summer left of posting, so come back next week as I start mini-series #2 on community entertainment! I can't wait!
Hope you all have a great weekend!
