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. 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.
Tea lights placed in water-filled ball jars make for a nice candlelit dinner.
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).
I also have my potting bench in this area, where I’ve been planting some sweet basil to enjoy in our summer salads.
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.
BurlapFabric.com also carries sisal twine and jute rolls for all your landscaping projects.
I’m joining Donna’s Patios & Porches Party and Kathleen’s White Wednesday
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
Beautiful. I'd love to come and sit on your porch for a while. The cows in the background are great. 🙂
I love your blue ball jar "chandelier" and the lovely mix of old wood, burlap and vintage items on the table.
These are some of the prettiest al fresco dining pictures I've ever seen!! Your table loks so very beautiful and you can't beat the view!
oh my word – everything is completely gorgeous – what a wonderful extra space you have set up on the porch – well well done!!

Beautiful but just so you know, if you see a whole bunch of strangers sitting on your porch and eating your porridge, it is your own fault 🙂 LOL. Just like attracting bees to honey…
Becky,

I love your porch with the beautiful tabledecoration
Beautiful table scape. I have a special love for using chicken feeders and yours is no exception. Gorgeous
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.
This is gorgeous. I love it all!
I love how you have the table set, Becky. It looks wonderful. I can attest that this is a fabulous place to eat a meal. So relaxing… especially dining with y'all.
I love ya!
Your table is gorgeous! I love the rustic burlap with the fine plates and goblets. Very chic!
Looks like such a fun relaxing spot to enjoy the warm days. I love your table display and potting bench. Can I ask where you got all your little zinc pots? I've been looking for some…that I can actually afford:-)

This space is amazing, and I love that you have cattle in the distance! Looks like a Pottery Barn catalog! ~Sarah

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!
Oh my gosh Becky your back patio is just gorgeous gorgeous!!! Girl you always inspire me!!
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.
So beautiful and peaceful. Can I move in…I love your view with the roaming cows.
Love your outdoor living space…can't wait
for the kitchen reveal! ♥♥♥ Lorraine
Omg – I just feel over. I'm can't begin to name what my favorite thing is about all of this! Totally in love. So jealous of your chicken feeder! It looks fierce!
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.

I am swiftly becoming a burlap addict!
Love your view…oh my gosh, I'd love to live with that view…I have had to work extra hard to create a view instead of looking at neighboring houses…
Love it all
