I am just so happy to finally be able to spend some time outdoors, dining on the back porch, watching the birds, spending time in the garden.  This past Winter seemed like a particularly long one.

I’ve been looking for some inspiration for sprucing up the front and back porches. And what we really need to accomplish is painting our house this Summer.  Picking the color ranks as the single most difficult decision we’ve faced as a married couple. I’ll save that for another post…

So, here’s some pretty stuff I found – hope you enjoy it.

What’s your style? Classic, tropical, botanical, bohemian…

SOUTHERN COMFORT

A historic Greek Revival home in Hot Springs, VA redesigned byAmelia Handegan.  Love the scale of this home and can imagine it would feel quite nice sitting here with morning coffee or an evening cocktail.

BLUE & WHITE

A gorgeous Veranda designed by Tina from THE ENCHANTED HOME.

Below is a recent shot of her own terrace:

And a couple more from THE ENCHANTED HOME – Tina Marie has a way with blue and white and displays STUDIO TULLIA pillows so beautifully in her home.

I love the tropical/botanical look also. STUDIO TULLIA has a few pillows featured in this fun article in ANTHOLOGY MAGAZINE:

I love the tropical feel of this board created by MOSSROOM.DK – check out her website: http://mossroom.dk/2015/06/05/botanic-living-mine-favoritter/

Just so colorful and relaxed.   Beautiful mix of colors, patterns and comfort.

So, I hope one or more of these might have resonated with you.

Happy Summer and Happy Fourth of July!
