This gorgeous home in Florida is sporting a space that I do believe I could spend the entire day in…all you need is a pitcher or amazing drinks…yummy food and an ipad…great place to catch up on all your blogs! I am a huge fan of the outdoor sofa.

What a magical space to have dinner or a small party with friends and family. Talk about taking advantage of a view! If you are blessed with a perfect space you can create something very much like this. Liz from Love Grows Wild made this beautiful setting with items from her home…it might only be temporary…but what an amazing place to enjoy a wonderful day and meal. I have an Italian family…so I could see us sitting around this table for hours upon hours and I bet you could to. You can learn more about how Liz created this space on her fabulous blog!

Oh this space is oh so Mediterranean …can’t you just envision sitting here…sipping on an espresso…solving the problems of the world! Even if you don’t have a budget for a space like this…think about adding a mirror…a handmade rustic farmhouse style table and you can spice up your seating arrangement with tons of throw pillows…you can create your own atmosphere on a budget and a little imagination…oh and GREENERY is always a good move!

A small space can turn into a little Oasis don’t you think! This space is calling me to enjoy my morning coffee and check out what is going on in the blogosphere so I can share with you! Also the perfect place to enjoy a chilled glass of wine in the evening and chat with the family. You don’t need much…you can snatch up some chairs…a pretty table and customize them with a paint treatment…maybe some new handmade chair cushions and then it is all about the plants and the accessories.

Do you happen to have a shed that is begging to be converted into something more? You should check out this series and see what others are up to! How much do you love this space…on a scale from 1-10 this one gets a 100!!! Does it count if I close the doors and add an air conditioner?

How about bringing the indoors out! Ok… this would not work in New Jersey where the weather can change on a dime…but I can see this in Sunny California can’t you! Talk about comfy cozy…I love it! But if you happen to be having guests and have the perfect space…maybe you can add a rug and move the sofa out for the day for the perfect seating. It is really easier than you think to create a temporary space for a party.

What a cozy little nook on a porch this is! Of course you can purchase the perfect furniture…but you can also improvise. How about making a day bed…then dress it with your style along with a ton of throw pillows. Add a little table…maybe one that you found at the Thrift Shop and give it a makeover…add another chair or two and there you have it…a fabulous little nook right on your front porch or back porch!

What a wonderful space created for the day…just by finding the right spot and borrowing some furniture from inside to use outside for a day and then adding special little touches truly works. You could even makeover some Thrift Furniture and keep it in the Garage just to use on those sunny days.

This great space shows you how to optimize a small patio and once again…to obtain this look you just might be able to do some thrifting makeovers. You can find some tables and metal chairs and give them a paint makeover…add some wicker chairs or and whatever else makes you happy…this one is very obtainable and affordable with a bit of hard work and imagination.

I have to tell you…with all the gorgeous spaces here…I am totally in love with this tiny little balcony…I am not a big outdoors person…but if I had this space I do believe it would become my new blogging studio…it perfect in its simplicity and so easy to create! Oh…a few things…I think I would love a cushion and a yummy cup of coffee!
