Outdoor Entertaining With Style

Via: Pomegranate 

No one knows more about outdoor entertaining than the lovely India Hicks. India and the current very warm weather in The Hudson Valley is the inspiration for this post. Each item will elevate your next deck or patio party.

 So nice looking and will look fabulous with any tablecloth and napkins. I love this Etsy Shop! By the way, they are not Dishwasher safe, but Mr. Shop This hand washes them, and they look like new.

MacKenzie-Childs Throw

I like to decorate the outdoor furniture with a throw here and there.  I use fabulous Turkish towels. A throw can make a space feel cozy and inviting. Also you might want to use it as a tablelcloth. Love the look.

Dress Your Deck!

There is still a chill in the air, but one can just feel that we are about to turn the corner. It's time to get out! I love my home in the sky and the beautiful views we have. I do, however, miss private outdoor space. It would be so much fun to extend my personal style outside of my home. If you are lucky enough to have outdoor living space, why not make it chic and comfortable? I have found some things for you.
