Outdoor living is a year-round topic on Hometalk. Hometalk members are busy planning and maintaining outdoor living spaces from the heat of summer to the cold of winter. Some folks are professionals who post gorgeous pictures of the outdoor living dreamscapes they've built. Other folks are DIYers who are revamping their outdoor living areas, building outdoor furniture, or planning an outdoor living room for the first time. Whether you're a novice or an expert, join a conversation about outdoor living rooms on Hometalk.

  • Prepare your outdoor space.  Mow your lawn, trim bushes, deadhead flowers, and string your outdoor lights.
  • Spray your outdoor space for bugs.  I use a fogger a few hours prior to the party to chase away as many insects as possible.
  • Set up your buffet with utensils, serving pieces, napkins, and plates.

  • Old ladder strawberry garden path.

Partly Recycled Strawberry Garden Path

This is a path I made between our strawberry plants using the steps from an old step ladder that I found in a vacant lot nearby and some pea gravel. It was pretty muddy before.

I wrote about it in a bit more detail here. http://www.bubblews.com/news/675342-partly-r...

This was somewhat inspired by this project. http://www.hometalk.com/173668/make-a-pallet...
