An Inside Garden

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;">Since I mentioned before that I'm slowly working on my deck during my spare time, I have been searching for rooms that inspire me. I'm looking to create a more relaxing and cozy outdoor space; a place where we can hang out for hours without getting our backs twisted. This room has incredibly beautiful details that are eye catching such as the gorgeous arched ceilings,<br />de Gournay wallpaper, the many orchids displayed throughout, the simple and unusual black and blue floor tiles and I can go on and on. The only thing I would bring with me into this room is lots of pillows for those back iron chairs, an ottoman to put up my feet, a few books and drinks.</div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHMfES0WBjFdiutbYa9xZUi_qw04AIu05dx1tTvZlCawVp2RkQSJqQoUIXtD33ynA0tO00UAdE_D5ojU2fAK_V4euyPEd-_2z8UuObUybBnHXfcf1dvKoVKRrb2N2r9PdHrI905cOBhuU/s1600/DNJON09SR7XH7Cv21.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" height="640" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5478144924589029474" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHMfES0WBjFdiutbYa9xZUi_qw04AIu05dx1tTvZlCawVp2RkQSJqQoUIXtD33ynA0tO00UAdE_D5ojU2fAK_V4euyPEd-_2z8UuObUybBnHXfcf1dvKoVKRrb2N2r9PdHrI905cOBhuU/s400/DNJON09SR7XH7Cv21.jpg" width="512" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 85%;">source my file. </span></div></div></div>

Got no green thumb

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div style="text-align: left;">It's time to spend more time outside and enjoy the "God blessed weather." But first I have to accommodate our deck in order to do that. Of course my dream of a flowery outdoor space has literally gone with the wind. Our deck is too windy for the delicate nature of flowering plants. So I'm looking into stronger plants that require less physical effort as well. Remember these Domino images? I can't overload our deck with anything like this but it's a great point of departure for inspiration.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_qhGBFUyTv53Cn5YptJCQ2CCXr-b9nwJLe-Ahm4yHojfFYkHZYB7AumqUBhlWKBAN3yVvMx4dEW5y-hdV3NAop14sLF_oV2qiPQuT-T0MRVPNiiMDix1bfwUbwdRyRlk-vcEhvsXQazI/s1600/domino+magazine,+bellevivir.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" height="640" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5468126393446899890" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_qhGBFUyTv53Cn5YptJCQ2CCXr-b9nwJLe-Ahm4yHojfFYkHZYB7AumqUBhlWKBAN3yVvMx4dEW5y-hdV3NAop14sLF_oV2qiPQuT-T0MRVPNiiMDix1bfwUbwdRyRlk-vcEhvsXQazI/s400/domino+magazine,+bellevivir.jpg" width="504" /></a><br /> </div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhev3weSKM3SBOBFFOYZRoqm1aW0sOWcFqgiw-f9YNn9bx_H1bppKLONBXlc0wzonxf6YtGr6q27fYXsQ4DSRQt0n-fEeCSwa7w0TMC6pOd8kIQkpHRCGlrefkULgw7jbTg9yqpA7FbHE/s1600/Domino+magazine+garden.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" height="640" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5468126387125802210" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhev3weSKM3SBOBFFOYZRoqm1aW0sOWcFqgiw-f9YNn9bx_H1bppKLONBXlc0wzonxf6YtGr6q27fYXsQ4DSRQt0n-fEeCSwa7w0TMC6pOd8kIQkpHRCGlrefkULgw7jbTg9yqpA7FbHE/s400/Domino+magazine+garden.jpg" width="478" /></a><br /> </div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyScqSLwOWi0E8RyJZokz5ur47sO-I_tQFbxNVtZOvepwJ62dzE_vOyAGuuFmDOcS61trQHzUiTtrOzFkxGEyA-w_MXFJYNUn2RY0KT9dRuSD0-f9gg-NJZ0GOTD8wkAJoQt9BQ8moIUA/s1600/Domino+garden.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" height="640" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5468126389291061634" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyScqSLwOWi0E8RyJZokz5ur47sO-I_tQFbxNVtZOvepwJ62dzE_vOyAGuuFmDOcS61trQHzUiTtrOzFkxGEyA-w_MXFJYNUn2RY0KT9dRuSD0-f9gg-NJZ0GOTD8wkAJoQt9BQ8moIUA/s400/Domino+garden.jpg" width="496" /></a></div>Images from Apartment Therapy.</div>
