Five Faves :: Outdoor Retreats

 My Latest, Most Favorit-est:

{Huge shade trees. Pachysandra. White Hydrangea. Stone hardscaping. Nooks for seating. via }

{Brick garden path. Secret garden door. White hydrangeas. Masse plantings. All against whitewash. via }

{Brick herringbone. Classic blue and white. Outdoor living room. Tucked in privacy. White climbing flowers look good at night.  via }

{Huge shade plantings. Masse white hydrangeas. Layered privacy. Pool with small rim and surrounding grass. Huge planter.  via }

{Manicured. Angular. Makes use of every inch by dividing into destinations.  Plenty of shade and places to sit. via }

and. I couldn’t stop at just five… so….

{Natural expanse of lawn. Green “wall” with doorway to everywhere. A seat with a view. Simple, yet manicured. via }

These are actual inspiration pictures that are MAJOR faves of mine. I imagine sitting with a landscape designer one day and showing them these images for inspiration. There are so many more I adore, truth be told. Hop on over to my Inspiration Outdoors Pinterest Board, and Inspiration Garden and Flowers Pinterest Board to see more gorgeous outdoor retreats and gardens.

I am a lover of shade, masse plantings, plenty of green, places to sit and soak it all in, and apparently white hydrangeas … these are a few of my favorite things in an outdoor retreat.

Which one is your fave? Do tell!!

Such gorgeousness. So hard to pick. . .
