The Great Outdoors






.
Is there anywhere more perfect to spend time than on a beautiful verandah? Cool and breezy in summer or warm and sunny in winter, the verandah is an essential part of the Australian house and lifestyle. Why be inside when you can enjoy the wonderful outdoors in such comfort and style!

  2. Oh, those mustard stucco walls with green window and door trim that echo the color of the chippy wood coffee table! Metal furniture with a pop of red pillows, I could go on and on....

  7. From one cold climate Hills dweller to another, lovely for Summer Leigh, but right now - you've got to be joking!! I have to don the down coat & gloves just to run outside at top speed to bring more wood in for the fire.

  8. I absolutely adore that last photo--the ochre walls and sage green accents along with those crisp red & white pillows--I'd never want to leave! Thanks for the inspiring post.
