As a side note, I have had some questions about sources lately and I wanted to make sure you all knew where to find all of this incredible inspiration. I have pinterest boards here and at the bottom of each post (when it applies) I include a link to whichever board(s) are relevant. Hope that helps!
With all of that sun shining yesterday, it really felt like Summer is truly upon us! So...I had to share a few of these beautiful outdoor spaces that have great style. Whether it's a small detail like a window in a wall, a great vignette, or a grand sweeping space, I think all of these have something special. Take a look:
So inviting! It's amazing how much just a few steps up or down can add so much to the ambiance of a space - even outside.

I really like this one for many reasons - in addition to a great feel, the glass roof lets the light flood the space while still protecting it from the elements.
This one would transport me to Spain - not bad at all!
Another beautiful outdoor mirror.
This makes the most of a side entrance - very charming!
LOVE this idea!!!
A relatively humble small space that anyone would love to sit in...
Do I spy petrified wood stools??
I think I'm going to need to buy some old shutters at a flea market coming up...there are so many possibilities!

Barbara-
These images are stunning,and I am saving the image of the garden pool for inspiration.
I know all about bad weather. I am in the Florida panhandle in Seagrove. Looks like we are going to welcome Debby as a guest soon.
I know that you are happy to have your children home.
Happy Monday.

So many beautiful outdoor spaces. I'm tweaking on mine and love getting inspiration from as many sources as possible.

Beautiful Barbara! I like the idea of having the BBQ under-cover WOW! genius and perfect for the PNW.
Suddenly the heat of summer will be upon us. Usually the weather gets warmer starting July 5th ;)
BTW, we are staying ON the canal in Belgium and are planning to take the touristy little ride.

The last picture does it all for me... Perfection... Love the corbels and shutters. Did you notice the corbels don't match??? I like the casual relaxed feel that conveys. Then there's the little grotto-like space with the 4 old folding wood chairs. Perfect for a summer evening glass of wine and candle light dinner. And of course, the barbecue. I can't quite figure out if it's conversion of a garage. But really, who cares...
Thanks for the end of day inspiration...
Cheers,
John

I love that tree growing out of the wall. So many beautiful images here.
Summer has eluded us again so I am living vicariously through you! I would love to live by a lake and have a little chill out spot like the last pic!
So many beautiful images. Love the barbeque in the covered area. The barn doors are a great idea also.
My kids are also out of school as of yesterday! Wihooo Barbara - we have our lives back!
Up for some evening fun with Marianne and myself this week? Or next?
Hugs to you.

Lovely spaces, all of them! I especially love the idea of an outdoor fireplace! And that barn door hiding the gas barbeque - ingenious! X Sharon
If only we had beautiful weather more often here to enjoy a beautiful space like these. That first photo is breathtaking! Hope you enjoyed our bit of sun today!
