The home tour continues today with a glance at our outdoor space. Last week I shared a tour of my room with you. I thought today I would share one of my family's favorite spaces during the summer months. We love our deck and newly built patio. The deck is where we tend to hangout during the day. It provides more shade and is more practical during the day. We like to sit outside and read on the furniture set or chat with friends and family. The high top table is great for eating meals, getting work done, or relaxing. The patio is a new addition to the backyard this summer thanks to Todd! We tend to head out to the patio once the most intense sun has subsided for the day. After dinner we like to hangout here. The fire pit we have doubles as a table, which is great for entertaining.
Today's post has a little guest appearance from our dog, Riley. He loves spending time outside on the deck too!
My mom did a great job at decorating the deck and patio with lots of bright colored flowers this year. The pop of color really makes the space look so inviting. 
This summer we opted not to do an actual garden and chose to do a container garden instead. Our veggies are starting to come in, which is exciting! These plants also double as great patio decorations.
What is your favorite part of our outdoor space?
XOXO
