Outdoor living - in winter

Because I'm insanely jealous of all of the lovely, summery, outdoorsy images posted by my northern hemisphere blog buddies at the moment, my plan for our new <a href="http://driftwood-interiors.blogspot.com/2010/03/its-on-my-list.html">verandah area</a> includes a gorgeous outdoor fireplace. Here in Brisbane, winter can be just glorious, so why not make the most of it? Of course, what better way to whet the appetite than by posting some inspirational images? I'd be happy with any of these beauties...hope my hubby is reading this!<br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisYVFp4YiSQI4_Pntq4qrbVdfui41PJtLEgsakzjwNpV8J51PmjHan1EI20FvpA3tOLHRwDImsiA2yZAMyrpR1v1QfJ_NceVul7RBGfRucOKvZ8FmOiHC28-2YvZ8_vVg94dd9nbdLB1Y/s1600/outdoor+fireplace5.105475942hl1231906552.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

Outdoor living

Here in the southern hemisphere, winter is almost upon us. There's a definite chill in the air, even here in sunny Brisbane, and I'm already dreaming of spring. Of course, reading all of my favourive blogs from our northern hemisphere blog buddies does nothing but whet my appetite for barbecues, spring blossoms (oh, those gorgeous peonies and lilacs!) and days spent soaking up the sun. So, here are some gorgeous outdoor rooms to keep us going until the warmer weather rolls around again.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj96n2_i_rZJdnE5kqFmb0yrKXSth6I95f1PYNKI-bFz0UkypJaN4lil8ADGsgyEsl8mK_DaCSkDAVnmyHqVAhC9y7lVKKsoankBVIYUt_f__XkMEcU7qNiYpiiNkv0thsoEUavVog_Hpo/s1600/house+to+hokme+co+uk+IH0607-39.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;
