Reese's Pieces

Of course for all of my complaining about how unbearable August is and how terrible the summer heat is then it rained here in Atlanta almost everyday last week.  Which, has made being outside almost pleasant (if not for the mosquito bites I continue to get because everything is so damp).  And honestly, considering how much I hate August, I can't believe it's flown by so quickly.  I mean, we're already more than half way through!  While I know there will continue to be hot, unbearable days, I am hoping to have a few that are just right.  And wouldn't this be the perfect place to sit and enjoy one?

This is actually an image of Reese Witherspoon's Ojai, California home's terrace.  Here are some more shots of her interiors which are beautiful.  Supposedly her former co-star Rob Pattinson spent a couple of days at this home recuperating from his break up with Kristen Stewart.  I wouldn't mind spending a few days here at all.  Enjoy!

Curtains Up

Happy Monday! I saw this picture on Pinterest and have been fantasizing about sitting on this patio.  It seems like it would be a cool place to sit and sip an iced tea (or margarita).  I love the idea of curtains, especially behind the arched doorways.  It creates such a romantic look.  Definitely a decorating tip I'll need to remember when I have my own patio and backyard.

Playing Outdoors

It's finally starting to really warm up in Atlanta.  Granted, being from Texas, I consider anything under 80 degrees to be chilly requiring me to keep a sweater in my purse at all times.  But as temperatures here reach the 90s, what some may consider hot, I find to be just right.

I'd like to spend all my time sitting on the patio with an ice cold drink in hand. In case you aren't already inspired by the gorgeous weather, here are some of my favorite outdoor spaces I've collected from Pinterest.

Grab a drink and relax...
