One thing that makes me melt every time I see it - whether it's part of a home, hotel or restaurant - is a courtyard. Do you love them too? Here are a few of my latest favorites:
OK this isn't a courtyard but I love how the house is wrapping around the pool for a similar feel...
If you'd like to see past posts about courtyards, you can look here, here and here.
Oh yes! Now that is living in style!
ReplyDeleteThinking of you girlie. Can't wait to see you next week w. Ms. M. I treasure you both!

Barbara,
ReplyDeleteI love courtyards almost anywhere I've seen them. My friend just built a home with a beautiful courtyard. Such a clever way to provide a view for so much of the house.

I love courtyards. I had two beauties with stone walls and stone staircases to the backyard when I lived in upstate New York. Here in SW Florida my version of a courtyard is a lanai nestled between two wings of my house. On the plus side, the weather is lovely here and I can use the space almost daily.
ReplyDeleteI think what appeals to me most about courtyards is the elegant flavor of Italy or France they impart to a home.

My my number 1 and 8 take my breath away. Saving those two photos would love to have a courtyard.
ReplyDeleteYes, courtyards are on the top of my priority list for my dream home! I also love the "around the pool" area as well and I guess that's what we've focused on these past 15 years. If and when we do move…I want only a courtyard! These are fabulous examples, Barbara! Hope you are doing well!
ReplyDeleteWow these are all beautiful! I need a courtyard :)
ReplyDeleteDer Innenhof hat sich dadurch ergeben, dass in den Staedten die Haeuser so eng beeinander stehen und man trotzdem versuchte etwas privates
ReplyDeletezu schaffen. Frueher hatte man es zum Waeschetrocknen benuetzt. Heute ist es
ein Platz fuer Gemuetlichkeit und fast jeder abgebildete Innenhof findet auch meinen Gefallen.
I would be happy in any one of these lovely courtyards! You found some hidden jewels!
ReplyDeleteCourtyards are truly one of my favourite things, these serene outdoor spaces offer a perfect blend of tranquility and beauty, often becoming a personal sanctuary. They provide a calming environment that can be a great escape from daily stresses. Similarly, when it comes to managing academic pressures, a reliable Law assignment help service can be a valuable resource, offering support and easing the workload so you can focus on what you love, whether that’s designing your dream courtyard or pursuing other passions.
