The great outdoors

because the weather is going to poo outside, and our backyard in particular looks like a paddock (we just need the rusted-out cars for the full bogan effect), a few piccies of stylish outdoor areas will either distract me from real life, or make me more angry...
oh, i wish! look how posh and bloody manicured this is! from decorno.

what a great place to lose yourself in a few red wines with a fire going. i like those big plants (don't know what they're called).

like the colours - the yellow chair and teal cushions - v. cool. again, like the spiky plants (clearly i'm not a gardener).

well, heeeeello. what's not to like about this scenario? the pool, the outlook, the huge bed to lay out on and eat fruit (or something).

just cute. great old furniture, great plants. i really wish i was a better gardener actually (remembering to water them would be a good start, i know).
