I posted photos of the Outdoor Living area of the new casa in a previous entry. I am very excited about our new backyard. I have many ideas of what I'd like to do there. I have collected hundreds of photographs and television shows with features I'd like to include in the new yard.
Some of the ideas I hope to incorporate from Jamie's own backyard are: the daybeds, the outdoor bathroom, the dining area under a "pergola" and the entire concept of bringing the outdoors in, and having everything indoors and outdoors mesh together.
I found other daybeds in photographs online:
I love watching the Outdoor Room with Jamie Durie on HGTV. He did a great job on his backyard. Here's a link to his own backyard makeover. He always has innovative ideas for outdoor retreats.

I want our backyard to be an extension of our house. I want a lot of "living" to take place out there. In my house now we spend a lot of time outside. My children use the yard every day. We use the yard together on weekends and sometimes weekdays. I hope to use the new yard even more!

I plan to build two day beds like in Jamie's house. However, I like the addition of the curtains like in the photographs above. I like incorporating curtains outside, as you can see in photos of my current backyard.
I will not add a table like in the first photo, I will probably just have a mattress in each to encourage relaxation and "hanging out". I can't wait to see this in the new house...
Let me know what you think, I'd love to hear comments, suggestions, ideas, etc.
