With summer weather here, many of us are looking forward to spending more time outside. Yet, if your yard looks anything like mine, a little summer makeover might be in order! So, where to begin?

While looking at all the garden magazines for inspiration, we can start to feel a little intimidated. After all, these photos of outdoor rooms are designed to be perfect. And while they are
pretty to look at, for most of us our objective in decorating indoor or
outdoor rooms should not be perfection.

The point in creating beautiful rooms is to actually ENJOY them. If we obsess too much about the details of what to do, or have to spend time or
money beyond our means in order to create a space, we miss out on so much!
We may never get around to LIVING in these spaces — how sad that would
be (I’ve been guilty of that myself)!

We may not have a fancy table, outdoor kitchens, an enormous rock fireplace,

or matching lounge chairs. But, we can enjoy our humble rooms just the
same than the expensive ones! Maybe even more.

Make living the life you wantwithin your reachright now, not something that is always saved for “someday!”

Throw out the rules and have fun creating your outdoor sanctuary!
