Lovely Outdoor Spaces!

I was looking on the Martha Stewart website and I found alot of wonderful outdoor space ideas and pictures. All the pictures you are looking at were found on the Martha Stewart website. Take a look!

I love this picture!! I would love to sit in those wonderful beach chairs by a lake under an umbrella-that would be so relaxing!

This little bistro table and chairs looks so inviting and relaxing!

I thought this was a clever idea of Marthas! You take huge shells and put votive candles inside. Group them all together and you have instant outdoor lighting!

I think John and I are going to purchase a firepit this Fall. I would love to have this view by one!

This would be an easy table cloth to make. Take you material and then stamp a huge leaf loaded with green paint onto the material. Just beautiful! I have seen this done with shells too!

For some reason herbs in clay pots just seem to go together! I love these clay pots because they used chalkboard paint around each rim. What a clever idea Martha!!

These huge paper flowers hanging over a table would definitely bring some color to any table outside. Just gorgeous!

This would take alot of pots and you would have to have the perfect wall for this arrangement but I love it!

I am in love with this nightime picture of this wonderful ocean view eating area! I love the green and white striped table cloth too! I could see the table cloth in blue and white too.


If you just need to add some color to your outdoor space these wonderful pillows made out of napkins are really fabulous! I think I just might have to try that.

You know how much I love porch swings-need I say more!

If you are looking for a Tuscan style outdoor eating space-this one is it!

What a wonderful way to end an evening with all these lovely votive candle holders hanging from your umbrella. How romantic!

I hope these pictures from Martha Stewart gave you some wonderful ideas you can use at your house! Enjoy!

  3. I love them all too. But, my favorite is the first one! I'm trying to figure out how they manage to water those top flower pots on the side of the house.

    Hope you get your fire pit later - as you say, the water would be a lovely plus, sigh!

  10. I would take any of these - lol. I love that idea of the huge shells with the votives inside. I'm going to have to look around and see if I can find any this big. I hope you two get the fire pit. I'd love to have one but not with Sammy around. He'd stick his nose right in it - he knows no fear at all. Lol.

  11. These outdoor space ideas are not just awesome but also very relaxing! It must be because of the blue and green colors that makes are present in each of them. Anyway, just like you, we're planning to build a fireplace too! I hope we can do it this year.
