Styled + Set: Simple Summer Tablescape in Blue and White

Hello everyone and welcome to the summer edition of the Styled + Set Entertaining Blog Hop! I’m thrilled to again be joining an amazing group of 21 bloggers, hosted by Lory of Designthusiasm. If you are landing here from my talented friend Randi at Randi Garrett Design, welcome! I’m so happy to have you here. This season, we are all sharing how we entertain for the summer!

Originally when I started planning this tablescape, I thought I would do something patriotic for Independence Day. However, the more I thought about it, the more I thought it might be more useful for you to see a tablescape that can be used all summer long. And since I’ve been loving blue and white lately, that’s what I decided to do. A casually elegant blue and white tablescape that can be used for a summer dinner party, brunch, pool party, or bar-b-que. You could even use this for the Fourth of July by simply swapping out the blue napkins for red and adding some red flowers! read more

How to Freshen Up your Outdoor Space for Summer

Are you all getting excited for summer? I know I definitely am! Lately I’ve been trying to clean up and refresh our outdoor space in the backyard. Spring gets me so excited to have bar-b-ques, swim parties, and revel in the freedom that summer seems to bring. In the spirit of that, our blogging group is talking “outdoor spaces” in our monthly blog hop this month!

For me, I love entertaining outside in summertime. Because we live in Southern California, we’re lucky to be able to enjoy our outdoor space for quite a few months out of the year. However, we admittedly use it much more in the summer than any other time. I mean, is there anything better than lingering outside after dark, sipping some wine or enjoying a cocktail with friends while the kids play in the pool? Heaven! read more

Floral Blog Hop – How to Decorate with Flowers

Hi there and Happy Friday! I know some of you have come over from my friend Michael of Inspired by Charm. If so, I’m glad you’ve stopped by! Every month I get together with a group of bloggers to do a monthly blog hop. We’ve focused on all different subjects, from how to style a coffee table, to tablescaping, to some holiday home tours. Well, this month we’ve decided to talk flowers, since April really is the beginning of spring (regardless of what the calendar says)! Flowers are in abundance this time of year, so we thought it would be fun to focus on decorating with flowers. And who doesn’t love doing that?! read more
