Summer Garden Party

Thanks For Sharing!

You may have noticed things have been a little quiet over here and there is a good reason, it’s summer time! I have had a lot of fun projects going that you all will see next month, but I have also been taking time for family vacations, a trip back to BHG last week and also spending time with the kiddos. I’ve really been trying to enjoy these months before schools starts and my daughter heads to school full time.

We find ourselves spending the days camped outside enjoying the sunshine (when we have it) and working on outdoor projects. I love being able to hang out as a family and work on the house at the same time. Today, I’ve teamed up with a few lovely bloggers and we are taking you on a tour of our favorite outdoor spots. So are you ready for this Summer Garden Party?
Front Entry Way with Lots of Shrubs and GreensI always want our front porch to feel welcoming as guests arrive. And right now it is dressed with a succulent garden.

I love using fresh blooms around the house and watching them grow. I can’t believe how much they have grown in just a few short months!

Now onto my favorite outdoor space! Here is the outdoor living space that I love.

Spring Outdoor Living Space with neutrals and fresh plants

It’s one of the things that sold me on this house. It sits right off our kitchen/dining area and is the first stop on the way out to our yard. It’s also one of the spaces that I love playing around with for each season.

There have been a few nights where we have sit out here late with the fire going and enjoying the warm summer weather. It’s magical.

    I love your succulent garden in the front yard! The outdoor living room out back looks so welcoming and cozy, I can see how it helped sell you on the house.

    I can totally see why that back patio area sold you on the house Taryn! It is such a cool place to hang out!!! I’m in the same boat, trying to soak up as much time with my little lady before she goes to school full time next year. Your outdoor spaces are beautiful and it was fun doing this hop with you!
