It's our large deck off of the kitchen. Just a short walk out the sliding doors leads us to a peaceful space big enough for cooking (the BBQ is behind me), dining and entertaining.
It is the perfect space for outdoor living during the warm Spring and Summer days and nights!
Perfect for sitting and having a great meal right off the BBQ! I can see setting the table with a bright linen and using fun and festive dinnerware!
And then, after we have filled our bellies with good food, moving over to the conversation area I set up to enjoy time with good friends and our new neighbors sipping on a summery cocktail or one of Mr. B's freshly brewed Summer Lemon Blonde Ales.
You may remember the outdoor rug from the Summer Breakfast Buffet I set last year at our previous home. It is available again this year from World Market.
The all season wicker furniture is from Big Lots. We had purchased it for the sunroom at our old house and it fits wonderfully here at our new home. I am on the hunt for new cushions though. Something fun I think. I bought the bright yellow end tables during the Friends and Family sale at World Market just a few weeks ago. I'll be adding some pots of flowers and lanterns as well as other decor once the weather settles down (we had a snowstorm just a few days after I took these photos!)
I see us spending many hours here in our outdoor living space! The perfect room with a beautiful view don't you think?
Like what you see?

Beautiful... we have a sun porch on our house and I just love it... especially as some summers we have so many bugs.
ReplyDeleteYou have a great patio, maybe it will stay nice so you can enjoy it now.
ReplyDeleteLooks like the perfect space to relax after a hot summer day.
ReplyDeleteWell thank you for such a wonderful view of your outdoor space. I love it , love it. Great furniture and rug that I want to steal too.
ReplyDeleteKathe, I love being out doors and your room looks so inviting - can't wait to have some of that yummy bar b que that Mr B cooks up....
ReplyDeleteHi Kathe,
ReplyDeleteI agree that looks like a wonderful setting to relax and enjoy. I love outside rooms... Hugs, Cindy
Love your outdoor space. The rug has great colors and so perfect for a summer space! Can't wait to see more photos as you decorate!
ReplyDeletehugs, Linda
When we put in a patio at our old house, I had no idea how much we would use it. Your deck looks like a great place to be, too! P.S., I actually like your cushions! ;)
ReplyDeleteIt looks so nice your outdoor deck and sitting area! Wishing you a fun spring and summer out there!
ReplyDeleteGreat view!
ReplyDeleteWonderful Kathe! So nice how you divided up the space too!
ReplyDeleteHi Kathe! I love your outdoor room, esp the wicker. My screened porch is probably my favorite "room" too, so I know what you mean. Take care - Dawn @ We Call It Junkin.com

LOVE all that color! I think I’d like an outdoor rug too. So neat.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great space, Kathe! Love all of the bright colors and patterns. And that view is lovely! We must have been on the same wavelength. I just posted my outdoor spaces, too. Hope you're having a great week!
ReplyDeleteLove it ... so peaceful.

Looks like the perfect space to relax :)
ReplyDeleteWonderful deck Kathe. It looks like a great place to entertain once Summer gets here. It can't be much longer to wait.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful space to have family fun and meals galore. Love the cushions very pretty colors. Are you going to do any planting this year on your deck? We should finished with our new home soon, Thank the Lord!!!
ReplyDeleteCynthia
the perfect place to sip some tea and enjoy the warm weather.Thank you for sharing your sweet blog at the Thursday Favorite Things Blog Hop ♥
ReplyDeleteHi, Kathe! Big Lots is a great place to find stuff!!! We have a new one here in Lee's Summit that is really thriving. I'm glad they finally moved here, as the closest one used to be about 20 miles away.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have lots of chances over the next few months to sit out there and relax with your husband, friends and family. Enjoy!
Wow, it is beautiful. Such space is considered as luxurious in an Island country like Singapore. How I wish I can visit you. Haha. Thanks for sharing with 4 seasons blog hop. Cheers and have a nice day.
ReplyDeleteI love the bright yellow colors! I miss having an outdoor space. We have 2 acres here and could easily make one, but we don't have a deck or concrete space. I would hate to just sit since patio furniture in the grass. I have been looking at gazebos at Big Lots with the hopes of maybe just getting one of those and an outdoor rug and settling for a grass space in my yard to give me that outdoor space. I also want to boost my WiFi so I can work outside. We were hoping to move this summer, but some things set us back, so we are trying to make the most of things. We've got the garden started and putting the pool up next week. Thanks for some brightly colored inspiration. Chrystal @ YUM eating stopping by from Treasure Tuesday.
ReplyDeleteSuch a great makeover! I bet you really enjoy sitting out there. I love your yellow garden stools. Are they from Big Lots as well?
ReplyDeleteSo pretty - love your view!
ReplyDeleteHello Kathe, love the rug and I'll have to check out Big Lots for outdoor furniture - gorgeous view - I do appreciate you sharing with Home and Garden Thursday,
ReplyDeleteKathy
