HGTV Dream Home 2017 Outdoor Entertaining Spaces

The inside of the HGTV Dream Home 2017 is pretty grand, but the outdoor entertaining spaces really steal the show!

HGTV Back Yard Oasis

Last week I gave you a tour of the inside of the HGTV Dream Home 2017. This week, we’re moving on out, to the spectacular and oh so dreamy backyard space of the HGTV Dream Home 2017. Before we start though, there are only a handful of days to enter for the chance to win this spectacular home. Make sure to click here to get entered right away!

Maybe I love the outdoor space of the HGTV Dream Home so much because it’s so unlike my current back yard. They really thought of everything when making sure the HGTV Dream Home backyard space was dream home worthy. So, join me as we dream a bit of what we’d do with the beautiful outdoor space!

First, there’s the beautiful pool (fittingly in the shape of the state of Georgia). I could imagine taking a quick dip in the pool to wake me up in the mornings, or lounging around on my favorite pool float under the warm afternoon sun.

When I visited the HGTV Dream Home, I spent a few hours one evening comfortably sitting by the fire pit, enjoying the company of fellow guests. This would be my go to spot at night, for sure. There’s nothing better than hanging out by a fire pit to ward off the slight chill in the air.

Oh and do you see the covered pergola space? That space would be my outdoor office. I can only imagine how inspired I’d be working outside by the pool each day!

As you walk past the pool and through the backyard, you are taken to this beautiful waterway area. This is where I’d have my morning coffee and where I’d sit to read my current favorite book. My husband and I would catch up on life and enjoy quiet day dates right at home!

HGTV Doghouse

Even our dog Meg could be a part of the dream with this smaller HGTV Dog House replica! The little shutters on the sides and the cute little porch make me so happy… I know they’d make her happy too!

So dream with me, won’t you? What is your favorite outdoor space of the HGTV Dream Home 2017? What could you see yourself doing in this gorgeous backyard, under the warm Georgia sun? Let me know in the comments below! I’d love to know what your dreams are.

Remember, you can enter for the chance to win twice daily by clicking here. Share the link with your friends, family and anyone else you’d like to visit in St. Simons Island, GA. And save a room for me…I’d love to visit again! The HGTV Dream Home 2017 grand prize package is valued at more than $1.7 million – enter for the chance to win today!

    I really did love the house – I think its proportions are so livable and the spaces stunning. But the back yard is what I think about most. What a dream!

    That backyard!!! I love the fire pit and the space around the pool area. I love the white too, so open and airy with lots of plants. Totally my dream space. I have dreams for my pool deck area, your pics are very inspiring and giving me ideas!

    think its extents are so decent and the spaces dazzling. Be that as it may, the back yard is the thing that I consider most. What a fantasy!

Have you ever been creatively stuck?

December 2019 my absolute favorite camera lens fell out of the cabinet I keep it in and shattered in a million pieces. I cried for days and days. I barely picked up my DSLR in 2020 because I just felt so uninspired. I couldn’t get the shots I was visualizing in my head with the lenses I had. 
.
Nick and the kids replaced my favorite lens as a Christmas gift and I’m ecstatic to be shooting again! I joined my incredibly talented friend @kimklassen creative photography Inner Circle for extra inspiration this year. Assignment 1 out of the gate and I already feel eager and excited about photography again! (You can see my “tell a story through multiples” in my Instagram story.)
.
Three cheers for bursting with inspiration again, after all this time.

Last year I couldn’t believe I was old enough to have an 18 year old. This year I look in the mirror and see someone old enough to have a 19 year old. This past year has been a lot and man, it has physically aged me! But one things solid and firm...I love my kids and am so proud of them! The resilience Jacob has shown this past year has impressed me...”graduating” high school, starting college, all when things have been so up in the air and unsure. And never once complaining about it. My kids haven’t lost a thing this year...instead they’ve gained so much they wouldn’t have gained without this experience. I’m so proud to be their mom. Happy 19th birthday @jacobdoyle02 We are fiercely proud of you and love you so much!

I always read so much in the last couple weeks of the year, I could never have my “best of” choices finalized. Christmas break is my favorite time to read read read!
.
I’m finishing up All About Us and The Prettiest Star, and then have this awesome stack to tackle! What should I read next? So many good ones to choose from! Will any of these make my 2020 top ten?

Feeling festive with @ella.r.doyle & @kelly_k_doyle ! 🌲

This is the recipe my sister-in-law uses and it is the BEST tasting, no fail sugar cookie recipe. It’s from a really old issue of @tasteofhome magazine with a frosting recipe she wrote down in the margin. I could eat so many of these and never get tired of them! If you want the recipe let me know and I’ll dm you the picture! Is making decorated cut out cookies one of your Christmas traditions?

It’s a book giveaway! I often get people asking me for book recommendations. Talking books is one of my favorite things to do! So when @librofm gave me the opportunity to give away three audio copies of any audiobook I wanted to, I knew immediately which book I wanted to share.
.
@roblowe book, Stories I Only Tell My Friends is the audiobook I recommend to EVERYONE. It is a book I listened to years ago, not expecting to love it, but I absolutely did. First of all, Rob Lowe narrates...so there’s that lovely bonus. But Stories I Only Tell My Friends is a funny, raw, emotional, informative, peek inside of the life of a really fascinating celebrity.
.
I wasn’t a Rob Lowe super fan before. I haven’t watched West Wing (I know, I know), Brothers & Sisters, Parks & Rec, or any of his TV shows, but I have always been a HUGE Brat Pack fan. Well, after listening to this audiobook I am a big fan (and his other audiobook, Love Life, is great too).
.
Long story short, I have three codes through @librofm to give to 3 people. To enter, leave a comment on this post by midnight CST on 12/16 telling me what your favorite audiobook is and why! Also, definitely check out Libro.fm - the best audiobook platform that also gives back to local bookstores!

“I can’t wait for my seasonal depression to meet my year 2020 depression.” 😩
.
If S.A.D is something you worry about each year, but especially this year, let me introduce you to my seasonal affective disorder game changer, the @sunrisesensations light therapy lamp. I ordered one of these lamps last year at the recommendation of my friend @leslieradams and it is the best (& most stylish) light therapy lamp I’ve ever used. I absolutely love it and highly recommend it...it’s well worth the money.
.
@sunrisesensations has a new, smaller lamp called Bright Box. The size snd functionality is perfect for a nightstand or office desk. Let me know if you have any questions about how these lamps continue to help me fight those pesky winter blues! Check out Sunrise Sensations to find the right UV free light therapy box for you!

Alright, alright, alright! It’s time to talk about how we can support our local bookstore during the holidays and beyond! As you consider buying gifts this year, make sure you shop local for all the book people on your list! One unique and super easy way you can support your favorite local bookstores is with an audiobook subscription to @librofm Yes! Audiobooks! With Libro.fm you can financially support your local bookstore AND buy audiobooks all at the same time. Each audiobook purchase supports the independent book store of your choice! Do it for yourself and buy some audiobooks for friends too!
.

If you need audiobook ideas, hit me up. I’ve listened to so many great books this year that will make it on my top favorites list, including Greenlights by @officiallymcconaughey It’s narrated by the author and is so worth the listen! Your ears will thank you!
.
PS my favorite #localbookstore @rainydaybooks is under renovation which makes it even better that I can still safely support them from the comfort of my own home!
