Now that summer has officially arrived in Maine, it's time to spend more time outside and soak up that Vitamin D we've been missing all winter. One way to do this is by creating an extension of your indoor living space outdoors. Let your creativity flow and start small; watch the space transform and grow into your favorite oasis.
For the Deck or Patio:
Add some chairs and maybe a couch. I've had this conversation set from Amazon for 5 years; it's been great. Add an umbrella to provide shade from the midday sun. Potted plants always add a nice touch of greenery.
If you're looking to extend your outdoor kitchen, consider adding a grill. Whether charcoal or gas, it really depends on your taste. Pizza ovens are also gaining popularity—why not take the heat out of the kitchen on a hot day?
For Relaxing Evenings:
Consider adding a fire pit for relaxing nights with the family. Take date night outside with a drink of choice and reconnect with your partner. Make s’mores with the family, stargaze.
Now is the time to take all of what Maine has to offer.
