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.Screen shot 2014-06-08 at 8.55.23 PM

2.  Add canvas art to your space specifically designed for the outdoors.

I love this one from grandinroad.com
