Now that it’s officially summer, it’s time to get outside! Luckily, our weather is cooperating and it looks like the rain clouds have finally decided to disappear for awhile. (Fingers crossed!)

I love to get outside as much as possible. It’s important to me that our outdoor space is comfortable, welcoming and pleasing to look at. Whether you have a sprawling backyard or a petite porch to call your own, there are plenty of ways to get creative with your outdoor space.

Have a little more room? Invest in some good lounge chairs and umbrellas! Comfy pillows and a bar cart are great to keep on hand for entertaining, too.

A bit tight on space? Try some gorgeous terracotta planters for pretty blooms or an herb garden. Get yourself a cute picnic basket and a blanket, and find a great local-to-you park where you can set up shop for the afternoon. You’ll be napping in the sunshine in no time! (Sounds blissful, right?)

What’s on your list for sprucing up your outdoor space? I’d love to know!
