outdoor furniture, relaxation

There is nothing like a lazy day relaxing in the comforts of a swinging hammock.  I purchased a hammock last year and have been wanting to put  it up for this season for the last few weeks. But every time I think about doing it the weather has rained on my parade, so to speak.  The clouds have parted so I finally have it up again. Here are a few fun hammocks to look through and imagine yourself lying in when you are feeling stressed this week.

You could definitely have a great sweet nap in this one…The Cocoon Hammock Via

The only thing better than a swim-up bar, is a swim-up hammock! Via

Love the crochet sides on this one.  Via

A modern twist on the traditional hammock. Via

More a bed than a hammock, I am imagining sleeping under the stars….via

“The Wave” hammock. No need  for 2 trees to put up this one! Via

I couldn’t resist…..so cute.  Via

And finally, my little backyard relaxation station.

Have a great day!

outdoor dining, outdoor furniture

Hello! I haven’t posted in awhile, as I have been plagued with some computer issues, and I am just returning from a vacation on Vancouver Island for my friend’s wedding. It was a lovely day and beautiful venue at the Black Rock Resort in Ucluelet, BC. All the beauty of the island has motivated me to update my own outdoor space so I will spend more time there!  This is what it looks like now….

Although the space has lots of potential, it is clear it needs some serious work to be an inviting space to spend time in or invite others over to enjoy. My plan is to create a dining area on the deck and and outdoor living room in the courtyard area. I have been scouring the internet for outdoor spaces that inspire me and have a come up with the few.  Although none of these spaces will work entirely in my space (or budget), they all have great elements that I might want to incorporate in my plan. 

I love the casual vintage feel of this outdoor dining set-up.  The blue tones in the accessories are calming and casual. Photo via Harvest.
