Amazing natural looking pool

With casual stone perimeters, planter borders, the waterfall, and the mix of colorful plants, this backyard pool set-up looks amazing!

Container gardening - poolside

Container gradening has some pros and cons... for example it's harder to set-up automated watering schedules, and might have to occasionally replant, and move to bigger containers as the root-ball grows bigger, but its also easier to move around depending on temperature or light needs, you don't have to worry about the plant spreading too far, or regretting placement as the plant matures... But never mind all that, the shot below is fantastic!

Casual landscapes and an amazing shower!

Amazing shots of easy-going exteriors... That green roof and the shade"sail" (or cloth) are amazing. Fabric is always an effective, practical, and inexpensive way to create shade and it has a great casual look.  And that shower... not the most attainable set-up but there's definitely some inspiration there!

Rustic patio with stone walls

Relaxing cozy bedroom and beautiful patios with natural materials all in the same house? Not too shabby! I love the stone walls and the white paint on the door and window trims.

Patchwork kilim rug

Great cozy spot by the window, and the patchwork kilim rug is nice, too. Why waste old and worn kilims when you can cut them up and make something cool? Kinda like this here.

Rustic cabin

Cool looking rustic place this one! A lot of American rustic seems to have a southwestern theme going, which is nice, but it's cool to see some rustic set-ups without that cowboy look & feel.

Rustic cabinets

Not the most exciting thing but these solid wood cabinets and shelves are pretty cool.  The rustic stool's quite nice, too.

Red Door

The place looks a little too well kept to be truly relaxing, but the red doors, the casual tile floors, and the kilim rug soften it all up and add some charm.

Cozy & easy-going place

This place is really cool and set up with a lot of simple yet cozy details -and if you can believe it, the place is only 600sq ft! Living in a place like this would be like always being on vacation -not a bad thing at all. This is such an inspiration to me, reminding me that one can create a beautiful life with so much less and that money is better spent on experiences and not on stuff anyway. Go Brooke & Ian Hanson! (Hanson's are the owners and creators of this place.)

Cozy eclectic bathrooms

I don't care for it when people go way too far out of their ways to create "witty" eclectic decors but these bathrooms are quirky enough to have great character and are still grounded enough to be unpretentious and cozy. Enjoy!

Cozy porch by the water

Great relaxing place, no? A simple, cozy, and unpretentious life is always charming. And when you have a porch right by a lake, and are surrounded by easy-going nature, what else would you want, right?

Colorful doors

Add some color to your life, brighten up your environment. There is no reason why your door should be a boring color, and a great color on the door makes your place more cozy and welcoming.
