Outdoor Dining

  Hey my sweet friends!  How’s everyone? Wonderful, I hope 🙂 Thank you so much for all of your encouraging comments on my  blue cupboard!  Most of you advise to leave it as is…and that is exactly what I am doing…for now 😉 Today I’d like to share our outdoor dining area on our back porch. outdoor dining This space is one of our families’ favorite spots to enjoy a meal together while the weather is still tolerable. I set a simple table mixing old with new. outdoor centerpiece   outdoor table 2 Tea lights placed in water-filled ball jars make for a nice candlelit dinner. tea lights burlap liner  My new sponsor, BurlapFabric.com sent me these fabulous burlap drawstring bags.  The burlap bags are perfect for plant holders (above) and make nice placemats (below). burlap placemats I also have my potting bench in this area, where I’ve been planting some sweet basil to enjoy in our summer salads. potting bench You might remember…our kitchen is in the middle of a little re-model. So the “herbs” and “asparagus” signs have found new homes here. lavender BurlapFabric.com also carries sisal twine and jute rolls for all your landscaping projects. outdoor burlap corner plants  I’m joining Donna’s Patios & Porches Party and Kathleen’s White Wednesday blushing bride Come back soon for a giveaway and the kitchen reveal 🙂 Thanks so much for visiting and thanks for all of your votes HERE at Top 25 Design Blogs 🙂 Blessings

    I love your porch with the beautiful tabledecoration

  16. Beautiful table scape. I have a special love for using chicken feeders and yours is no exception. Gorgeous

  17. Lovely, Becky! I am so inspired by your natural and textured decorating. The burlap looks great. Our new patio set is in brown tones and I was having trouble making my bright blue and green outdoor fabrics look right with it but I'm now thinking I am going in the wrong direction. I think I need to embrace more neutrals and galvanized metals. Thanks so much for the inspiration.

  27. Your porch looks like the perfect place to enjoy a meal together. We do that quite often in the warmer months. Breakfast on the weekends and dinner in the evenings tastes so much better on the porch. Great pictures!

  28. Oh my gosh Becky your back patio is just gorgeous gorgeous!!! Girl you always inspire me!!

  29. Oh, Becky, this is simply stunning! I had to scroll through the pictures several times to take it all in. You did an amazing job creating a welcoming farmhouse chic spot to enjoy special times together as a family.

    BECKY! good gravy…you will not even believe this…here I was minding my own (wasting time) on Pinterest, and I fell in love with that outdoor dining shot – repinned it – and then noticed it was yours!

    holy camoly – that is the coolest table setting –
    perfect in EVERY way

    Gorgeous images Becky, are those cows in the background yours and if so are they for milking? I especially love the herb garden.

    I have meant to ask you for a while now what camera do you use, maybe I did ask if I did I apologise. I am still looking at cameras so that I can take my own images for my blog as you do.
