.dream backyards.

the nicer the weather gets, the more i think about spending time outdoors with my friends and family.. cool summer nights hanging out under the stars, laying out by the pool, cookouts, parties, small get-togethers with a few drinks on the back porch..  outdoor spaces are a great way to expand your living space, especially if you don't have the sq. footage indoors. they also give you the opportunity to have fun and go wild with colors, textures, and lighting if you're too nervous to explore your creativity indoors.. and don't forget the plants! keep in mind not only what you see, but what you hear and smell as well.. all of these elements will come together to create your very own dream backyard. 


i'll admit, i'm so excited to design my first house with my future hubby, but i'm most excited about having great people over to enjoy the backyard. i've been saving just as many outdoor images that i think are beautiful as indoor images.. here are just a few from my files to get you thinking about your own backyards :)
