Outdoor Flair

Hi Everyone!  Hope you had a good weekend.  We had particularly *bad* weather on Saturday and surprisingly *awesome* weather on Sunday.  We still have family here from Germany (gotta love those European vacation days!) so they helped us on Saturday with some house projects, and on Sunday we got to show off how incredibly beautiful and unique Seattle can be  :)  We were also out both nights this weekend, exploring new restaurants in the area which was a ton of fun.  It wasn't a bad weekend I'd say. :)  


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!

My kids are done with school as of today - yahoo.  :)
HAPPY SUMMER!!!
