Something shifts this time of year. Without really noticing, our favourite room in the house isn’t in the house anymore.
Morning coffee moves outdoors. Dinner stretches a little later into the evening.
A book is enjoyed in a comfortable chair while the garden changes almost daily
around us. We spend so much time designing our interiors, yet for a few short
months each year, it’s the outdoor spaces we gravitate toward most.
Two years ago, we completely reimagined our backyard, creating places to
gather, dine, and simply sit for a while. This summer it finally feels as though
the garden is coming into its own. The climbing roses are beginning to cover
the fences, the trees and shrubs are settling in, and the perennial borders are
filling out in a way that reminds me that good gardens, much like good homes, are built patiently over time.
The next slide is a small glimpse of one corner of our garden. I promise to share more
of the seating and dining areas soon—it’s just a little difficult to photograph at the moment with a new house under construction next door!
The following slides are a few of my favourite pieces for creating an outdoor space that feels every bit as welcoming as your living room.
Wishing you a beautiful summer spent outdoors.
