Extend your Home by Livin' Outside...

Summertime is a time when we get outside to swim, bike ride, play 18 holes of golf... etc, but it's also about living outside...LITERALLY! Extending your decor onto your patio and yard will not only extend the space of your home, but will also give you a second dining, living, and even office area. So many times you will hear designers say bring the outside in and make your home smell and look like a summer breeze, but I like to do the opposite & bring the inside... out! Working on the laptop poolside, taking a nap in the hammock, grilling a fun summer recipe, and setting the table on the patio (paper plates of course!) not only is fun, but an easy clean up too! Here are a few pics and ideas that have inspired me...
