On The Patio....Not Mine

Can you believe that summer is more than half over? Well, maybe not officially but if you have kids is school sports....there isn't a lot of time before all the 'crazy' starts again.

Since it was raining yesterday, I was trying to have a relaxing view on the patio.....not mine. Here are some of my favorite outdoor rooms.

Siemasko & Verbridge

Philip Ivory Architects

Scott Meacham Wood Design

Of course Tina's outdoor room deserves two pictures. Her garden is just stunning.
Have you had a chance to sit outside this summer?

Curb Appeal for the Garden Shed

My garden shed could use a little extra something. I want it to have more curb appeal.

Sorry the photo is so dark, still fighting with technology (technology is winning by a landslide!). I love the idea of a potting shed. A place to go an putter around for an afternoon. Something like this;

from Cape Cod Sheds.

Or this beauty from Sunset Magazine;

I think I am going to add a hitching post, even though I don't own a horse.

That might be just the extra charm that I have been looking for.
