It’s here. The time to start living life outside is upon us! Lounging, dining, entertaining – it’s time for it all to happen outdoors and I couldn’t be happier about it. I’m currently working on a little outdoor entertaining update (that I’m going to share with you very soon), so I’ve been banking inspiration images of outdoor spaces like crazy. If, like me, you have dream outdoor spaces on the brain, get ready to start pinning.

A built-in banquette is my longterm yard goal. It might be very long term, but it’s always good to have a stretch goal, right?

A sweet bench seat offers a nice little respite, extra seating for party guests or a place to hide with a book when you can steal 30 mins for yourself!

Someday a complete outdoor living room will be mine – rattan ottoman included.

Bohemian vibes mean you’ll be hard pressed to ever head back inside.

If minimalism is more your style then a stunning woodblock dining table and matching benches would be a beautiful solution for you.

Someday, I will tile everything my eye can see I swear. I also spy more rattan.

A mosquito net creates a relaxed, luxurious feel while serving very practical purposes as well – no one likes to get bit! A total win-win.

What are in your outdoor space dreams? With a week until Memorial Day, don’t you think it’s time to make them come true?

Here’s the most popular outdoor table I ever set
