APARTMENT VERSUS ESTATE - OUTDOOR LIVING ROOMS 2

sleek city outdoor living room patio deck living green wall plants brick Nbaynadamas

Another outdoor living room face off!  I am all about outside living spaces in the summer.  So this week I bring you two more outdoor living rooms to compare.

Last week the outdoor room choice was City versus Sea.  Most of you chose the sea outdoor deck.

Today, the face off is Apartment versus Estate.

The patio above is outside a New York City apartment.  The decor is sleek with modern white metal furniture, lots of neatly trimmed boxwood and ficus plants and a living wall of greenery.  Well manicured.

The outdoor living room below has softer edges with more traditional decor.  The metal furniture with big fluffy cushion sits under a white pergola.  A large Moroccan style coffee table, lots of cushy decorative pillows and black lanterns finish off the decor.

Which of these two patio living rooms do you prefer?  I feel like if I was having a party I would like the apartment version and if I was having a cup of tea and a good chat with a friend I would enjoy the estate living room.  The question really is though, which would you pick for your home?

Please do tell.

Happy Wednesday!

TEAK WITH A TWIST!

Outdoor patio with polka dot chaise lounge cushions on teak lounge chairs

This is the cutest to me.  Taking basic classic teak furniture and adding texture with cute outdoor polka dot black and white upholstered cushions.  So adorable.  Wouldn't it be nice to spend the day on this patio with a cool drink in hand?

What is your favorite outdoor space at your house (or for city dwellers near your house)?

Happy Friday!

P.S.  Sorry didn't post anything yesterday.  Was traveling back to L.A. from my whirlwind trips to Atlanta and New York.  So much fun.  A little exhausted and so much more to do.  Got back and fab assistant KS has been hard at work and now we both have to dig in...about 20 days until we leave for the New York International Gift Fair and there is so much to do.  I need to stop stressing...but I can't.  Arghhhhhh....need just a little pool time, relaxation time, lounge time....just a bit.  I just have to go back to the wise words of my friend A.Ro. though when I start longing for lounging...she once said, "You never hear about successful people taking lots of naps."   I've quoted her before and I'll quote her again on this subject.  She is right. There you have it.
