Spring and summer are great times to do outdoor entertaining, some of our best memories have happened right in our own back yard. I absolutely adore outdoor rooms—-and I do mean rooms—-rugs, lamps, accessories, plenty of magazines–the works. Of course, it helps if you have a roof or awning over the area. We don’t have a covered deck at our house in New York, so when we are having friends over, I place the lamps, flowers and accessories out that day and bring them in the next, I also have a EZ UP canopy that covers the upper level of my deck so if the weather looks suspect we have a place to gather despite some droplets of rain. Look at some of these exquisite outdoor spaces….
Summer living!!!
This is a great space to enjoy your morning coffee, read the paper or gather with your family and friends! The space is tied together with a great rug!! I think spaces that don’t have rugs somehow feel incomplete. Rugs seem to ground the space and give it cohesiveness. This collection of accessories makes me want to curl up in this picture! What a cozy ensemble!
The animal print rug is an eye catching addition to this space, it brings this all together!
Accessories, pillows in pops of green make this sitting area warm and inviting.
Pops of Pink are so inviting in this roof top outdoor room.
With all the bright colors it really pulls this space together.
Great Times with Family and Friends, at my home!
This was my deck, on the 4th of July, with my friends and family these are the best times of our lives!!! Enjoy the outdoors, create a space on your deck or veranda this year that will bring you outside whenever you have a moment!
As Always stay tuned……..

One of my favorite summer cocktail is a Bellini. Cocktails don’t have to be full of sugary mixers or heavy ingredients. Integrate your summer fruit or garden herbs in with your cocktail recipes for some light and refreshing summer fun!
