Ah, I can't resist, I think this house has the most charming pergola I've ever seen. It is such a good example of a room that transitions from indoor living space to outdoor landscape.

Light the candles and have a bunch of fun people over to dine al fresco.

Flowering vines and a pergola make a great setting for fresh local food and good company.

This. Well this just says it all. Elegance and warmth for a fall outdoor dinner party. The portable fire pit on the right gives light, warmth, a gathering place for visiting, and even a fire for roasting marshmallows.

Get Outside! If you are lucky enough to have a patch of land attached to your home, consider it another room and enjoy it to the fullest. You may want to go so far as to add some structure like this trellis, or a simple fire pit.

This outdoor seating area screams "community" to me. I imagine that the people in this house constantly have neighbors dropping in for a glass of wine, taking family to a broader level.

I think I put this picture in every outdoor ideabook I do. It's just such a charming space. It even has a fireplace at the end.

Here's another great example of dining outdoors under the spell of a pergola. When covered with a climbing rose or vine, pergolas will provide some much needed relief from the sun during the heat of the day.

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.

A wisteria vine, pergola and glow of candles warm an outdoor room.

I just had to throw in this fabulous pergola, which provides the perfect outdoor dining room.

long patio - idea for off front of backyard - privet hedge for privacy, then usable yard space bigger - maybe put shed on far side of yard near Kevin's house and have this patio connect to house
