Which would you choose?

Hi there...hope you had a great weekend. Ours was very nice, and pretty relaxing. With Teddy on the mend, and getting stronger every day....I felt like it was life getting back to normal. Dinner with friends, a few antique stores with a buddy, walks with Teddy, a little downtime to myself. I started reading again......was an avid reader until we moved! I missed it so much as there is nothing like the escape we take like when we delve into a fabulous new book. I was productive too and got lots of orders processed, and many are going out this morning. So a good mix of down time with productivity! 
I don't know about where  might be but over here it feels like early summer! 80 getting up near 90 in April? Virtually unheard of!!  I can't decide if this is a decadent treat from mother nature or a forewarning of a brutally hot summer to come. If the latter,  I better invest in some really great hats because my hair does not love ultra hot humid weather and does not react kindly:) In any case it got me thinking of outdoor entertaining, as we will all no doubt start spending more and more time outdoors. Today's living includes outdoor spaces that are given equal importance in many cases as to what goes in  the indoors. The choices for outdoor furniture, lighting, rugs and accessories are practically limitless. In other words its never been easier to have a truly fabulous outdoor setting which rivals what you have going on inside!
I cannot wait to start decorating our own loggia and have a very good idea of how I would like it to look. So.......lets just imagine for this weeks  Which would you choose that  you are having a few couples over for drinks before you head out for dinner out on the town. You are going to be blessed with the most insanely perfect weather ever, and they will arrive just when the sun is just starting to set. You light a few candles, get some  smooth jazz going,  put out a few tapas trays of your favorite nibbles  and have your bar ready...now all you need to do is choose your outside patio/loggia setting! Which appeals to you the most? I look forward to seeing what everyone loves....I have my eye on a few, think I have it narrowed down to two. And we are off..........

Wow, hard to pick just one! At the very least I got so many wonderful and inspirational ideas from these fabulous loggias/patios. There is nothing quite like outdoor entertaining, whether its having a complete meal or just getting together for drinks and nibbles.....it is hard to beat the great outdoors and when furnished beautifully.....impossible to top in my opinion. Look forward to hearing which you choose! Wishing you an enchanted day!
