By Lauren Mang August 18, 2014
The serious sun and warm temps have us dreaming of perfect, lounge-worthy outdoor spaces (not to mention we’re furiously wrapping up our July issue, which features even more dreamy outdoor living areas).

Herewith, feast your eyes on 10 snapshots of backyards, patios, pools, firepits and beyond in styles that suit just about everyone.
