Simple Steps to Stylish and Affordable Outdoor Spaces
When the sun is shining and the summer breezes are blowing, it's difficult to resist the call to relax outdoors. But if you have a blank canvas of grass or a cement slab it doesn't exactly call to mind visions of barbeques and family gatherings. Don't stare longingly out the windows this summer when you can expand your living space to include the outdoors in just a few simple steps.

Patio
A deck or cement patio can be an expensive home improvement project. If you're not ready for the work or the investment, try ready-made patio blocks that make it easy to have a sunny and stable outdoor space.

Seating Area
Create your own outdoor cafe with a bistro set. The three piece Crown Bistro set from Seventh Avenue (SeventhAvenue.com) is an affordable way to add outdoor seating no matter what size your space is.

Lighting
For walkways and paths, make sure to keep it safe with low-voltage or solar lighting.

Outdoor Cooking
Making your space into an outdoor kitchen is as easy as adding a grill.

Wildlife
Bird houses and bird feeders are a wonderful way to welcome nature into your outdoor space.
