15 Inspiring Outdoor Spaces

With Spring arriving more than a few weeks ago, I have been itching to get outside to clean & freshen up my outdoor spaces. I have been looking at some beautiful inspiration pictures to help me get some ideas and I want to share with you my 15 favourite outdoor spaces in case you are looking for some ideas too!

I love the freshness of this Outdoor Living Room Chic.

 

Or how about reading a book in this Beautiful Outdoor Garden Lounge Space?

 I love the black & white of this Cozy Outdoor Dining Nook.

 

How about the pink & orange of this Chic Converted Garage Outdoor Living Space?

 

I adore this Pretty White & Yellow Dining Space.

 And here is Part I of my Easy Deck Makeover from last summer.

This is a wonderful and Lovely Cheerful Outdoor Living Room. 

I love everything about this Simple & Elegant Dining Space.

Perfect for morning coffee is this Cozy Bistro Corner.

 

I would love to visit with friends on this Private Country Style Porch.

I'm crazy about the chandelier in this Romantic Dining Space.

 This Collected Country Porch is so sweet & rustic.

I really like the usefulness of having a Bright & Colourful Serving Station.

How about the backdrop of this Beautiful Shady Corner?

And this is such a well planned & Beautiful Balcony Space.

Spray Painted Bucket Planters...

There`s a hole in the bucket, dear Liza, dear Liza.

Anyone else recall that song?

I learned it from Sesame Street when I was just a little tyke in the 1970's and it was 1 of a very few kids programs on TV back then.

But anyhoo...there are no holes in the buckets I picked up from the dollar store for $2 each.

I had been looking around for some new planters for my front porch and I was so discouraged by both the prices and colour choices of what I saw.

While in the dollar store picking up some things, I saw these metal buckets for 2 bucks and thought with a little spray paint that they would be perfect.

I picked up some new spray paint colours from Walmart for $4 a can.

I decided to go with yellow to give the front porch some panache.

I spent some time trying to get those darn price tags off the buckets, but after 20 minutes, I just gave up and decided to spray right over them!

It took 4 very light coats to get the buckets fully covered.

I loved the end result... $10 for 3 bright & pretty yellow planters...not bad!

I spied these pink geraniums at Walmart for $6 each and I thought they would look fabulous in the bucket planters.

{Don't look too close because you will notice another project to be done this summer...painting the entire front porch.}

I really love, love, love the yellow & pink together. It so bright & happy together!

And the beauty of spray paint is....next year these buckets could be painted in a completely different colour, as long as there are no holes!

Wishing you a wonderful weekend!
