Yesterday as I was helping my friend clean up the giant mess our friends made over the Halloween weekend (10 guests in a New York apartment!), we started talking about the potential for her backyard. Yes, in New York City (Hell’s Kitchen no less), she has some outdoor space to call her own. First of all, I’m super jealous. Secondly, I love entertaining, and seeing an unused space like that, even in November, gives me the blues. So after promising to help her (she knows that I’m good for my word – we took out 6 bags of trash yesterday), I started researching some ideas for a fabulous New York outdoor entertaining space that we could use throughout the year. Here’s the first round-up of (ambitious) photos for a little inspiration. I’ll keep you posted on our progress, and hopefully include some DIY projects along the way (like how to boy-proof the backyard)!
Maybe this fire pit shown in domino* will help us stay warm through New York's cold winters!
Martha Stewart is always full of great ideas, and I'm thinking this canopy, in a cool fabric, could be a DIY project
* Not sure which issue of domino this shot was in. If anyone knows, I would love to credit it!
