Now that the days are longer and the sun doesn’t set until close to 9:00, we enjoy eating outside every chance we get. When the sun goes down, we plug in the lights and fire up the tiki torches which makes everything feel a little more like we’re on vacation. A few weeks ago I indulged in some pretty things from Serena & Lilly for the table in hopes of upgrading our outdoor dining experience.
While I prefer white table cloths, it’s nice to have a little pattern too. The table cloth I found is the best of both – mostly white and has the block print border which I love! It comes in three sizes and the smallest size fits perfectly. I just love how summery and fresh it looks!
After a recent instagram story several of you asked about maidenhair fern car. I water this one every other day because it dries out quickly. It is usually lives in the kitchen window, but I bring it outside to use as a centerpiece from time to time when the sun isn’t to intense. Do you have any tips?
The knotted trim detail on these chambray napkins is so pretty, and I do love chambray. They are even better in person. I picked up the bamboo flatware last summer (deal alert: it’s currently on sale for 24.50 for a 20 piece set). The raffia place mats can be found here.
It’s fun to mix & match napkins in a more casual setting. The vintage print floral napkins can be found here, love the pop of coral!

It looks beautiful Rene! Love it all! I've been eyeing that bamboo flatware for over a year now! What's your experience with it? I'm torn with holding out for real bamboo flatware (I realize more expensive and will take a long time to purchase a large quantity) or buying the one you have here. Have you been happy with the quality? #torn 🙂

I've been happy with it so far, but nothing compares to the real thing. Even though it's dishwasher safe, I usually hand wash it.
