ENJOYING YOUR OUTDOOR SPACE

By May 8, 2013Uncategorized

Finally it’s time to truly enjoy your outdoor space. Whether you are hosting a sophisticated dinner party or enjoying a glass of wine after a hard day of work, I promise this blog posting will inspire your outdoor space to become your personal sanctuary.

No matter how big or small your yard, balcony or terrace is, there are endless options out there! I have compiled a few links to get you inspired for outdoor living this spring and summer.

To get started…Click here for a list of 11 inspiring outdoor spaces. My favourite is the Cheerful Eclectic Courtyard and the Bright Contemporary Deck! House & Home also offers an amazing gallery of outdoor spaces. Both of these sites show off how truly unique and special your outdoor space can be. Looking to host a dinner party? Style at Home and House & Home show off 5 fabulous outdoor dining spaces perfect for hosting your family and/or friends!

If you are working with a small outdoor space, don’t worry.  No matter the size of your outdoor living space – there are still plenty of options, however, you may need to get a bit creative. To get the creative juices flowing – Sarah Hartill & Stacey Smither’s from House & Home demonstrate how to transform an uninspiring condo balcony into a warm and cozy space. Watch this makeover from start to finish – and you will see what less than $1,200 can do for your balcony. Love the Ikea wood deck tiling! In addition, here is a 98 square foot balcony that is both functional and low-maintenance. When living in a condo, creating a functional outdoor space can help you to maximize the use of your overall living space.

Hope this post inspires you to transform your outdoor living space – no matter what the size!

I will be by my phone waiting for my invite to your next outdoor dinner party 🙂
