Dining Out At Home

{ Via: My Pinterest }

With the world opening up city by city, so are the restaurants. In Chicago, one can only dine outdoors. We did just that last weekend for lunch.  Truthfully, I prefer to dine at home. I was a bit disappointed. Now is the perfect time to look no further than your own backyard, patio or porch for a meal that is safe and satisfying. If you plan to entertain, while social distancing this Summer, this post is for you.  Enjoy this edit of patio perfect pieces for dining out at home.

On My Radar: New This Fall

Spruce Up Your Home In The Color Of The Year: Greenery

( Via: Domino )

Let's talk green. It's the color of the year, if you haven't heard yet. "Greenery" is the exact name. It's fresh and zesty, with a little yellow mixed in for brightness.  Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute said: "This is the color of hopefulness, and of our connection to nature..." It's not easy being green, but we will see it in our homes and in the Spring clothing we buy. Actually all shades of green will be making their way into our lives. Today's roundup features my take on how we can go green at home.
