The Way to a Man's Heart Must be the Outdoor View
I must admit...as much as I love my outdoor space....with my herb garden in a vintage wash bin...my painted picnic table piled high with fresh cut flowers.....my husband seems to think he owns the backyard. I let him think that come Saturday mornings when it's time for the weekly yardwork....but on the other days...I like to have it as my sanctuary. One thing that I let my husband have control over is the bbq...but there are ways to have both the perfect setting right along with the backyard bbq. Let me show you a few of my favorite backyard settings ....and please...don't be afraid to show me yours.

| This photo with the unbelievable outdoor setting and the fire place situated at the other end makes me want to call all of my friends over to this home for a soiree. Mojito's included. |

| Now...I must admit...this might not make most husbands want to take Sunday afternoons off from golfing in order to sit here with the paper....but I will.
Give up golf I mean...in order to sit here. I don't even play golf. |

| Men and women's universe collide in one place.
The outdoor kitchen right along with the television and let's not forget about the bar. All elements combined to make perfection. |

| I would seriously consider giving up my place in the burbs for a loft in the city with an outdoor space like this.
I wonder if kids are allowed? |
Hello fireplace...nice to meet you. My man and I could roast marshmallows all evening here.
I might even let the kids partake...

Who needs a fireplace when there is a cottage in the back with a pool table.

I add a photo of the favorite place in our backyard. It's a very private patio area where you feel as if you are on vacation.
