LIVING OUTDOORS

With warm temperature in the forecast, I’m so excited to start “living” outdoors. Being that our warm weather season is so short, I, like many others I’m sure, am planning on spending as much time outside as possible! Outdoor living spaces are becoming increasingly popular, they are more than just a lawn chair on the patio, they are extensions of your indoor living spaces. People are creating entire “rooms” to relax in and enjoy nature's beauty.


Whether it’s a rooftop urban oasis, a cozy screened in porch or a simple furniture arrangement around a fire pit, there are many ways to make your outdoor living space a fantastic addition to your home. Here are some simple ideas to liven up your outdoor space…


Some seasonal pots to put lush greenery or wonderful fragrant flowers in…




Some cozy pillows that can be left out in the elements and still be beautiful…



Some great furniture ideas other than the old standard lawn chair…



Ways to light up your space…


And make sure you stay hydrated...


Now get outside and enjoy this gorgeous weather and your outdoor living spaces!
