If you’re fortunate enough to have a deck, patio, or balcony, then you’re fortunate enough to have an extra room! That’s right, people. This post is dedicated to OUTDOOR LIVING!
The issue of outdoor living is timely…especially here in southern CA! Last week we had a few days of 100+ degree weather. While the blazing heat hasn’t lasted, it’s guaranteed to be back soon with a vengence! So, I guess that means it’s time to finally figure out what on earth I’m going to do on my deck.
Do you like mixing and matching bold colors? Any Amy Butler fans out there? I’d love something like this! A porch swing is so dainty, relaxing, and mixed with these colors, ever so girly!!!
Americana much? This is something my mom would scream for…wicker is a great outdoor product because it can take a beating, and down the road can be spray painted, if needed!!!
This classic setting is something I’d LOVE someday. I’m planning to get an outdoor rug for my deck in the near future…even though my awful HOA may not like it…but I haven’t forgiven them for towing my car last week, so I don’t really care what they think!
Like to entertain in your yard? Why not use fabrics and textures to create an elegant and rustic atmosphere? And let’s not forget that a chandelier can be just as FABULOUS outside, too! 
Want a peaceful retreat? Don’t be afraid to put a couch outside and soft accessories!!!

So tell me…if you were me, which style would YOU do on my deck to turn my condo into a castle?!?!? Inquiring minds want to know!!!
I’m sharing this post at Julia‘s Hooked on Friday’s linky party…because I’m HOOKED on outdoor living…well, I will be once I figure out what to do on my deck! {giggles!}
