INSPIRED OUTDOOR ENTERTAINING!

Elegant table setting with green glasses, purple rimmed wine and beer glasses, woven place mates and white plates and dinnerwear

So…I am thinking about throwing a dinner party at my house a week from Sunday. The operative word in the preceding sentence is “thinking”. This is merely a thought…an idea…an inclination at this point…

Need to try to transform my thoughts into actions. Hmmm….(easier said than done…)

This outdoor tabletop setting has provided some inspiration for me – elegant dining alfresco. Love the colors (green, white and purple) and the feel the green glasses, the purple rimmed wine and beer glasses, the woven place mats and the white plates and dinnerware…all work so wonderfully together. Is this enough to motivate me to throw a party?

Let’s say for the fun of it (all hypothetical)…I actually make a definitive decision to have a party. And then let’s say for even more fun, I actually pull off the decor part of it all and set a gorgeous table. The bigger question then becomes “what do I serve for dinner”???? Is food necesary if things look really good???? LOL!

Seriously though…Help!

    I love this table! It is definitely inspiring! Wouldn’t it be nice if it was “okay” to throw a fab party, with your table set and decor but not have to worry about the food part, ha ha! (yeah right) That would make things much easier!!! Good luck whatever you decide to do. I’m sure if you decided yes, it will be a wonderful party!! Take pics if you do!

    I like Alisa’a idea, too. You could pick a theme, like Italian, BBQ, or Mexican & let the guests decide on the dishes to bring.

A lot has been happening behind the scenes at ChirA lot has been happening behind the scenes at Chirpyest lately. We are building, testing, improving features, and making the platform better every day. At the same time, we are also meeting with brands, growing our brand list, and bringing more stores into the Chirpyest community so you have more places to shop and earn cashback.

From the limestone fireplace in the living room to the informal dining space, a peek into the scullery, and finally the kitchen where the island becomes the heart of it all, every space flows effortlessly into the next.
Thoughtful design. Beautiful light. A layout that truly works. ❤️
This is what a dream home looks like when vision and craftsmanship come together.
