Great Outdoor Ideas

Good morning to you dear readers. Today I've put together quite a number of photographs with lots of ideas for decorating your outdoor spaces. Porches, patios, balconies, terraces and some gardens. They surely will get you into the mood to step outside, arrange your pots and plants and enjoy the good weather.<br /><br />1.<br /><img name="foto" src="http://www.micasarevista.com/terrazas/terrazas/terrazas4/terrazas4_1g.jpg" /><br />I tend to shy away from shocking pink but I love the way it looks here!<br /><br />2.<br /><img name="foto" src="http://www.micasarevista.com/terrazas/terrazas/terrazas4/terrazas4_3g.jpg" style="width: 600px; height: 450px;" /><br /><br />3.<br /><img name="foto" src="http://www.micasarevista.com/terrazas/terrazas/terrazas4/terrazas4_2g.jpg" style="width: 600px; height: 458px;" /><br /><br />4.<br /><img name="foto" src="http://www.micasarevista.com/terrazas/terrazas/terrazas4/terrazas4_5g.jpg" style="width: 600px; height: 515px;" /><br />Those little head pillows are a great idea for these deck chairs for two reasons: they won't slip down behind you when you lean forward and I'm sure my crafty friends would find them easy to make!<br /><br />5.<br /><img name="foto" src="http://www.micasarevista.com/terrazas/terrazas/terrazas4/terrazas4_9g.jpg" style="width: 600px; height: 484px;" /><br /><br />6.<br /><img name="foto" src="http://www.micasarevista.com/terrazas/terrazas/terrazas4/terrazas4_11g.jpg" /><br /><br />7.<br /><img name="foto" src="http://www.micasarevista.com/terrazas/terrazas/terrazas23/terrazas23_2g.jpg" /><br /><br />8.<br /><img name="foto" src="http://www.micasarevista.com/terrazas/terrazas/terrazas33/terrazas33_1g.jpg" /><br /><br />9.<br /><img name="foto" src="http://www.micasarevista.com/terrazas/terrazas/terrazas1/terrazas1_1g.jpg" /><br /><br />10.<br /><img name="foto" src="http://www.micasarevista.com/terrazas/terrazas/terrazas5/terrazas5_1g.jpg" /><br /><br />11.<br /><img name="foto" src="http://www.micasarevista.com/terrazas/terrazas/terrazas4/terrazas4_12g.jpg" /><br />These easy to roll up wood Venetian blinds are a good idea to get the shade you need just right.<br /><br />12.<br /><img name="foto" src="http://www.micasarevista.com/terrazas/terrazas/terrazas1/terrazas1_4g.jpg" /><br />Love the colour on these walls.<br />13.<br /><img name="foto" src="http://www.micasarevista.com/terrazas/terrazas/terrazas3/terrazas3_5g.jpg" /><br /><br />14.<br /><img name="foto" src="http://www.micasarevista.com/terrazas/terrazas/terrazas2/terrazas2_2g.jpg" /><br />Love the arches and combination of brick and stone.<br />15.<br /><img name="foto" src="http://www.micasarevista.com/terrazas/terrazas/terrazas3/terrazas3_7g.jpg" /><br />Pretty little spot to relax and read.<br />16.<br /><img name="foto" src="http://www.micasarevista.com/terrazas/terrazas/terrazas28/terrazas28_1g.jpg" /><br /><br />17.<br /><img name="foto" src="http://www.micasarevista.com/terrazas/terrazas/terrazas4/terrazas4_4g.jpg" style="width: 600px; height: 745px;" /><br /><br />18.<br /><img name="foto" src="http://www.micasarevista.com/terrazas/terrazas/terrazas26/terrazas26_4g.jpg" /><br /><br />All images from <a href="http://www.micasarevista.com/index.shtml">micasa</a>.

Rustic House in Spain

Friday takes us to Málaga in Spain to have a look at this 50 m2 guest house which belongs to an English family. Arches, beams, iron cast doors and lots of wood give it a warm rustic feel. Wouldn't mind being a guest here at all! And, if this is just the guest house then I'd love to see the main house as well!<br />Have a great weekend and I'll be here with you tomorrow.<br /><br /> <img id="lightboxImage" src="http://casadiez.elle.es/var/plain_site/storage/images/decoracion_casas/pequenas_pocos_metros/casas_rusticas_pequenas/ambientes_rusticos/casa_02/138210-1-esl-ES/casa_02_reference.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 652px;" /><br /><br /> <img alt="casa" src="http://casadiez.elle.es/var/plain_site/storage/images/decoracion_casas/pequenas_pocos_metros/casas_rusticas_pequenas/casas_con_encanto/138159-1-esl-ES/casas_con_encanto_articulo_landscape.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 383px;" title="casa" /><br /><br /><img alt="http://casadiez.elle.es/var/plain_site/storage/images/decoracion_casas/pequenas_pocos_metros/casas_rusticas_pequenas/ambientes_rusticos/casa_03/138190-1-esl-ES/casa_03_reference.jpg" src="http://casadiez.elle.es/var/plain_site/storage/images/decoracion_casas/pequenas_pocos_metros/casas_rusticas_pequenas/ambientes_rusticos/casa_03/138190-1-esl-ES/casa_03_reference.jpg" style="cursor: -moz-zoom-in; width: 500px; height: 652px;" /><br /><br /><img alt="http://casadiez.elle.es/var/plain_site/storage/images/decoracion_casas/pequenas_pocos_metros/casas_rusticas_pequenas/ambientes_rusticos/casa_04/138206-1-esl-ES/casa_04_reference.jpg" src="http://casadiez.elle.es/var/plain_site/storage/images/decoracion_casas/pequenas_pocos_metros/casas_rusticas_pequenas/ambientes_rusticos/casa_04/138206-1-esl-ES/casa_04_reference.jpg" style="cursor: -moz-zoom-in; width: 500px; height: 652px;" /><br /><br /><img id="lightboxImage" src="http://casadiez.elle.es/var/plain_site/storage/images/decoracion_casas/pequenas_pocos_metros/casas_rusticas_pequenas/ambientes_rusticos/casa_06/138194-1-esl-ES/casa_06_reference.jpg" style="" /><br /><br /><img id="lightboxImage" src="http://casadiez.elle.es/var/plain_site/storage/images/decoracion_casas/pequenas_pocos_metros/casas_rusticas_pequenas/ambientes_rusticos/casa_07/138218-1-esl-ES/casa_07_reference.jpg" style="opacity: 0.857968; width: 500px; height: 652px;" /><br /><br /><img alt="http://casadiez.elle.es/var/plain_site/storage/images/decoracion_casas/pequenas_pocos_metros/casas_rusticas_pequenas/ambientes_rusticos/casa_05/138222-1-esl-ES/casa_05_reference.jpg" src="http://casadiez.elle.es/var/plain_site/storage/images/decoracion_casas/pequenas_pocos_metros/casas_rusticas_pequenas/ambientes_rusticos/casa_05/138222-1-esl-ES/casa_05_reference.jpg" style="cursor: -moz-zoom-in; width: 500px; height: 652px;" /><br /><br /><img id="lightboxImage" src="http://casadiez.elle.es/var/plain_site/storage/images/decoracion_casas/pequenas_pocos_metros/casas_rusticas_pequenas/ambientes_rusticos/casa_11/138214-1-esl-ES/casa_11_reference.jpg" style="" /><br /><br /><img id="lightboxImage" src="http://casadiez.elle.es/var/plain_site/storage/images/decoracion_casas/pequenas_pocos_metros/casas_rusticas_pequenas/ambientes_rusticos/casa_10/138186-1-esl-ES/casa_10_reference.jpg" style="" /><br /><br /><img id="lightboxImage" src="http://casadiez.elle.es/var/plain_site/storage/images/decoracion_casas/pequenas_pocos_metros/casas_rusticas_pequenas/ambientes_rusticos/casa_08/138198-1-esl-ES/casa_08_reference.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 652px;" /><br /><br /><img alt="http://casadiez.elle.es/var/plain_site/storage/images/decoracion_casas/pequenas_pocos_metros/casas_rusticas_pequenas/ambientes_rusticos/casa_09/138202-1-esl-ES/casa_09_reference.jpg" src="http://casadiez.elle.es/var/plain_site/storage/images/decoracion_casas/pequenas_pocos_metros/casas_rusticas_pequenas/ambientes_rusticos/casa_09/138202-1-esl-ES/casa_09_reference.jpg" /><br /><br />I'm linking up this post at Leah's <a href="http://www.sillylittlesparrow.com/">Toot Your Horn</a> party.
