This Week's Ideabook On Houzz: Cooking (and dining) Under The Stars

Summer has finally arrived in the northwest region of the country, and with it wonderfully long and warm evenings. All I want to do is be outside and enjoy every moment while it lasts. And so, who wants to be inside cooking and dining? Not me!

In this week's Houzz Ideabook I feature outdoor spaces, complete with areas to cook up delicious meals to share with friends and family. These extensions of the home offer an opportunity to enjoy summer to its fullest.

And look at this backyard, complete with a tepee! There is something for everyone here. A cooking area with shaded seating for dining, lounge areas and grass for the kids to play. Pitch a tent, make the s'mores and get ready for a camp out!

Hi!

I had to stop by quickly to read a little on your article for Houzz! I can't wait to start (again) on my outdoor space. Although it is a tiny area that I will be working with, I think its something we can enjoy before it gets cold again.

I'll read your entire article when I return from vacation. Girl, these boys are wearing us out! And not to mention I brought my 1 year old nephew along for the adventure! Oh man...

Have a great weekend!
