Since we live in Florida we spend a large part of the year enjoying our outdoor areas. There’s nothing like sipping cold lemonade and reading in the shade of a palm tree.
Our back porch is like an extension of our house so we are always adding a touch here and there to improve it. I’m a big fan of potted plants and umbrellas!
Here’s a peek at some fresh outdoor spaces that can easily be created in a weekend or two.
Using a rug outside really makes it feel like a room…I NEED a rug now! We already have the orange umbrella. What a relaxing spot to hang out and enjoy the beautiful Summer weather.
This outdoor space is great for entertaining with a cool L-shaped concrete bar..it’s awesome!
Dress up your porch with some of you home accessories for a cozy feel. It’s like adding on to your living space. Dining under the stars is just a bonus feature!
I love the pop of color for a fresh and cheerful look. What does your dream porch or backyard look like? Is it colorful? Loaded with flowers? I need both!
Enjoy the beautiful weather!
