Found yourself binge-watching HGTV outdoor shows and scrolling Pinterest for backyard inspiration lately? We sure have, and it got us thinking: Some of our readers have impressive outdoor oases.

Welcome to Curb Appeal, our new seasonal callout for the best home displays. For this first go-around, we want to see your best spring and summer set-ups:

  • Do you have the best barbecue on the block?
  • Is the entire neighborhood stopping by your house for a swim?
  • Are you a home gardener fully in your spring planting era?
  • Do you spend your summer nights on the perfect porch?
  • Is your fire pit the envy of your street?

Submit your photos.

We’ll share our favorite submissions in a future newsletter to help Hoosiers get design inspiration to take their own homes and gardens to the next level.
