Beautiful Decks

In the summertime I love to spend as much time as I can outdoors. We have a pretty basic deck area (with a great view of the woods), but it is lacking a little something. I would love if we could give it a little makeover and make it a better place for entertaining and hanging out.
These are some "after" deck makeovers on Better Homes and Gardens that I'm loving. The big theme that I'm seeing besides pretty flowers/plants is a pop of color with your lawn furniture. I'm loving all of these colors-orange, blue, and green.

Elegant Design

I love this bathroom and this dress. The dark frames of the prints in the bathroom, and the dark borders of the mirror are a nice contrast to the whites and neutrals in the room. I also adore the pretty dark ribbon around the waist of this nude colored dress. So pretty and elegant!

Chandeliers

We are on the hunt for a chandelier for our dining room. At first I was totally against the idea, thinking it would be too stuffy or old fashioned. But after seeing photos of many different kinds of rooms with chandeliers I have definitely changed my opinion! I fell in love with a couple of small ones at Lowes the other day, but I'm thinking we need a medium sized one due to the size of the room.
Here are some beautiful rooms with chandeliers.
