When you think of an outdoor living space
what comes to mind?
A dining area with an old farmhouse table surrounded by french bistro chairs...
or a seating area or lounge area for relaxing on the patio...
or maybe a spot for an afternoon nap on a chaise?
We are fortunate to have a large area for entertaining and outdoor living
so all of these areas come to mind for my space.
I was so excited and appreciative to have been given
an incredible design challenge opportunity...
To create a backyard living space that was
Comfortable.
Welcoming.
Inspired.
A room outside for spending time with family and friends...
for entertaining and for relaxing.
Something much like a design I would create inside my home...
but using items that you can purchase from a specific store
to make over the space.
For someone who is used to finding flea market treasures
or a piece here and there collected over time to use in my rooms-
Creating a space out of ready to purchase items
and giving it an instant lived in feel was a bit different
but soo much fun!

Here is what the backyard looked like
before...
THE AFTER
~The Dining space~
Shabby and vintage inspired...
Faded colors
florals and ruffles...
French bistro chairs wearing a chippy finish,
galvanized bins & painted urns filled with gorgeous flowers
~The Sitting area~
Vintage inspired red floral toile
mixed with drop cloth & needlepoint pillows
& dark woven wicker.
A cozy sitting area to kick back and relax...
with a charming petite fire pit for warming your hands or roasting marshmallows
The gravel and beach areas are warmly lit by the soft glow
from vintage inspired oil lanterns.
~The Beach~
Your toes sinking into the warm sand while
stretching out a chaise...
So relaxing!
So, any guesses as to where these design elements came from?
I'll be sharing where you can find these fantastic pieces
and more pictures and details soon!
