Although Outdoor Environments may be new to the blogosphere, that doesn’t mean we don’t have a list a mile-long of favorite design blogs, Shelter notwithstanding.
Recently, the blog posted a handful of super stylish outdoor dining rooms, ones that would look equally at home indoors! We are fans of the ordinary shed-turned-elegant dining room in this verdant backyard. What a great idea!

That being said, your outdoor dining room doesn’t have to have an overly “decorated” feel. Just add a tablecloth from inside, an array of interesting plants in varying heights, and one unexpected element–like the outdoor chandelier–and voila! You’ve got a space that will be the envy of the neighborhood.
