Lifestyle Friday: Create an instant vacation in your back yard
alot of time is spent enjoying our outdoor spaces this time of year, so we should make the most of it as much as possible.
I find myself perched in the same spot most mornings at coffee time and even in the evenings after dinner.
The season for outdoor living is so short in the midwest, that it’s important for me to maximize my time outside.
If you want to UP your happy factor, these small outdoor enhancements, is a good place to start.
1. Enjoy a hammock for outdoor relaxation.
2. Add canvas art to your space specifically designed for the outdoors.
I love this one from grandinroad.com
3. Add an entertainment cart to store beverages and goodies for easy access.

4. Add your own creative touch with painted repurposed pallets. To learn how click here
5. Light up your surroundings softly with mood lighting.
These pillar lights from hsn.com have an architectural quality and mimic the look of stone.
6. Add an outdoor fountain or firepit for an enhanced outdoor experience.
