We hope you had a great weekend! With this wonderful, late-summer weather, we’re getting inspired by the outdoor space that designer Amber Doggett shares with her husband and her four children. You can tour the interior of the home in the August issue, but at this time of year, Doggett says the family spends most of their time in the home’s outdoor living spaces. In the covered patio, she adds various delicate shades of blue to the neutral palette to bring in a little extra color. Doesn’t it look like a perfect place to spend time with family and friends?Click here to read the full story and see the rest of Doggett’s home, or find a copy of the August issue on newsstands. Or scroll down to see how the color palette of this serene outdoor space inspired us. You’ll find our inspiration board below, which includes a mix of images and paint colors we gathered from around the web. What’s your #1 must-have item for your own outdoor living space?
