We spend most pretty summer days on our patio and outdoor living areas which I’ve shared previously but let’s take another look, shall we?

Our grape arbor/gazebo is such a romantic, quiet and shaded spot, a secluded little outdoor getaway.

Unless it’s raining, our patio is where you can find us on nice days…dining, relaxing, talking about our day, reading or entertaining.

We haven’t de-winterized the barn patio area this year just yet, but we’re always have it completed before our 4th of July party…

I don’t go all out with summer decorating indoors, although after visiting these gorgeous homes, I’m inspired to crank it up a notch. Wow, right? But I do manage a few summer touches inside too…

the kitchen: a pretty runner on the dresser/island and a wooden bowl of lemons for fresh squeezed lemonade…
