Outdoor Living - Oh the Joy!

One of the things I love about summer is that the outdoors becomes another room of the house.  In my townhouse I only have a porch off of the kitchen and a front porch but I enjoy every minute I can out in the fresh air.  Today is cloudy but I still managed to sit out there for breakfast (yummy granola from San Francisco).

Outdoor Spaces to Relax In

I love the idea of my porch actually becoming a living space of my house in the summer.  I have to figure out a way to fix it up so it is not only inviting to use but also comfortable.  Right now I have boxwoods and a small table and chairs.  I love the inspiration from these three rooms.

A Room Outdoors

We had a beautiful day today.  Sunshine the entire day.  Makes me think about how to create an outdoor room on my porch.  These two photos seem so inviting.  I would be tempted to sit and read a book all day.
