Dining in the Great Outdoors

Outdoor dining is among my favorite looks.  I don't do it much, but I do love it.

Simply Great Name Cards

 

name cards - simple and cute - from Tablescaper

this could work for many occasions with a simple change up of the jewel -
shamrock to heart or butterfly or geometric shape, a button or flower, a star or ....

possibilities are as endless as the imagination and creativity of the maker.

More pretty pink includes this lovely ladder from Mammabellarte.  I don't know if I've seen a pink ladder before. It's a great look.

I love this beautiful pink cake from The Finer Things
I'm sure it would be lovely with other colors, but this pink is so lovely.

Outdoor Seating

Fun look - assorted chairs and tables from Green Wedding Shoes

Another Table Setup

Great looking table from Gypsy Purple home
I really like the look of assorted pieces of china. 

Outdoor dining

This color and look really does appeal to me.  I love the sea green, the distress, the luggage, even the dirt and the sagebrush make this setting look good.  From Green Wedding Shoes

Another Spring Look ... or two!

Brabourne Farm brings us a Party Pretty post with a few great spring looks.

I love the flowery backdrop behind this table scape.
I like the beads that flow off the table.
I like the white milk glass vases and the pink flowers (though my style says there are too many bouquets on the table) and the table itself is great.




The look first noticed on this table scape is the bouquet of soft spring colored flowers...especially the blue. (Okay, they may be tissue flowers, but either way the colors are appealing.)
I love the doily under the bouquet and I really like the soft pink glass used at each setting.

More Tables

The table and what's on it has so much to do with how we feel in a room or space.
Here are a few things that intrique me.

Such a cute table skirt. I've been wanting to add some color to my family room, and this would do it. BHG

This burlap and ribbon table runner is awesome! The colors and the styles...it's such a great look. From Emmaline Bride.

I love using quilts for table coverings. Here is my puzzle/game table with a yellow quilt on it.


I think the photo in the Tea and Scones post uses a quilt on their table.


I like assorted chairs and this photo includes assorted tables. I really like this.

(I'll keep trying to find the site from where I saved these photos)
These are a colorful addition to the back yard.

Oh the Beauty of a Barn

I LOVE BARNS! How can I get one?!?!?!?! I guess I'll just have to Look but not touch.

Love these curtains on this barn and the look inside is beautiful. This gorgeous look comes from Martha Stewart Weddings.


This barn wedding had some gorgeous curtains too. There is so much more beauty from Style Me Pretty. Take a peek at the other pictures there.


A simple, yet beautiful curtain found at Simply Natural.


More curtains on an open side barn or shed. From Tying The Knot


Wait...was this post about barns or curtains? They seem to fit together quite nicely in these photos. Oh how Lovely!

Not curtains, but fabric streamers. From The Becker


Fabric streamers and lights. 100 Layer Cake.


Watering cans hanging from the ceiling are from the same wedding above 100 Layer Cake.


The lights here have a lot to do with how beautiful this wedding is. From Style Me Pretty.


Barn and Chairs are cool here. The barn was only used as a backdrop. From We Heart It

There are more barns out there, but they'll have to wait for another post another time.
