This is my backyard…well, in one of my dreams. Right now my backyard is a blank slate – mostly grass and more grass with no patio or porch to anchor a table or grill. Ever since we moved in I have been dreaming of the comfortable, creative, entertaining space that I would one day have.

My problem is I cannot decide on one style! I want eclectic, contemporary, country classic, and cozy all wrapped in one. I would like to be able to entertain and also have a space to curl up with a good book. I want a fire pit for s’mores and a place to congregate on a cool fall evening. And I would like the textures of rock, wood, and water all intertwined. Is this too much to ask? Or too much to accomplish in the small square footage I have to work with? Only time will tell, but for now I’ve started collecting elements I think would be interesting for my outdoor space.
The sofa is from one of my favorites, CB2.
Rainbow colored chandelier from Urban Outfitters.
Colorful pillows from Anthropologie.
Fire pit from Target.
And planter from Lowes.
This is just a start…I’m curious where you find great pieces for your outdoor spaces. Is there a source for furniture and accessories I need to know about? Please send them my way along with your ideas for combining multiple styles into one cohesive outdoor space.
Yes, this backyard would be lovely! I could see us sitting out there with some wine and smores =)
