I gave you this sneak peek the other day so let's take a look at it set up outside.
Full view from the sun room door.
I grabbed this matelasse coverlet off my sofa and used it over the table and then topped it with the drop cloth that I painted. I keep this on the sofa since Bailey gets up there with dirty paws.
Just some good ole summertime refreshments to cool off with.
Of course I have lemonade ready. The red dispenser is from Target and was five dollars and something. One problem though, it drips. I place it up on a little tiny stool that I purchased from PB years ago.
I found these cute lemon glasses at the Dollar Tree. Yep, $1 apiece and they are real glass.
Grab a straw for your drink. I just stuck them and the red forks in a couple of old jars. I found the red striped straws on etsy. The others are from a new dollar store near me called Dollar Stop.
If you don't want lemonade I also have some ice cold cokes and diet cokes. Must have those in the south especially here near the home of coke. The green plastic tub is another Dollar Stop store find.
Got to have watermelon and this one is nice and cold. We will cut it soon. Just be patient.
Grab a plate and a napkin for your slice of watermelon.
The red gingham paper plates are from the Dollar Tree.
I ordered the red checked napkins from Penney's last fall on sale and the ceramic napkin rings were found online a couple of years ago. I don't remember the site.
Oh, and the red shutter screen is from the sun room to hide the grill.
Thanks so much for coming back by and thanks to all those who have been joining this summer blog party. If you missed part one it is the post before this one.

ReplyDeleteI love those red and white checked napkins! I wonder if JCPenney still has them? I think I'll look and see.
I love the way you mixed inexpensive things with more expensive things--everything ends up looking very nice and it's so good to know that it's all done with "Savvy Southern Style." :)
Kim-It is wonderful! I LOVE IT ALL! I love those $ store lemonade glasses! And they are GLASS! I love a glass/glass!;>) I will be taking you up on one of those diet Cokes...my personal choice of iced drink...what...No RC Cola and Moon Pies? I thought that is what all S'uthners served!

ReplyDeleteWhat a fun theme, Kim! I love the colors ~ looks great!
ReplyDeleteYour deck is so lovely, so inviting! I was lucky and found those glasses at our Dollar Tree. I only got 4, but should have picked up more. Awesome find! You have a awesome blog and I'm a new follower too. Thanks for hosting this party, such inspiration out there!
ReplyDeleteKim,
ReplyDeleteI love your outdoor refreshment area. Red , yellow and green are such yummy colors! A fun fact about yummy Coke soda. Did you know that The coke leaves start out in New Jersey before they go south to make coke a cola.

ReplyDeleteVanessa
Very nice Kim, I'll be right over!! Martina
ReplyDeleteKim, I love the yellow glasses with the red and white napkins. I plant my gerbera daisies in the ground and they come up every year even though they are supposed to be annuals. That watermelon does look cool and yummy in this awful Georgia heat. hugs♥olive
ReplyDeleteI've seen those glasses Kim and was always tempted to buy them...so cute I think! Love the straws too!
ReplyDeleteI really tried to get ready for the party but we are just so busy with everything for the wedding/picnic we are having here, I did do a couple of things so maybe I'll share tomorrow!

ReplyDeleteKim wouldn't it been nice if we could all get together on the deck for some good times...
ReplyDeletePattie
This buffet just screams SUMMER! I love all your detail and decorative touches. I am going to make that tablecloth!
ReplyDeleteYvonne
Every detail is full of summer charm, Kim. Love the drop cloth table topper and the red gingham. Cute lemon slice glasses. I rarely find anything cute at our $ store. Those would have come home with me. ~ sarah
ReplyDeleteFabulous Kim! It is all just so beautiful. I LOVE how you hid the grill with the shutters! Of course when I showed this to Bama Boy just now he said, "why would you want to hide the grill?" MEN! They just don't get wanting to make everything look pretty! haha. I may still have to do this anyway, and he'll just get over it. ;) Thanks again for helping host this week and all you've done! We appreciate you!
ReplyDeleteHeather
Kim, I love your Summer table done in red, white and yellow! Everything is so pretty and I love how you hid the grill. Thanks for joining the Summer Entertaining party.

Beautiful presentation, Kim. So summery! The drinks and the watermelon look so refreshing...Christine
ReplyDeleteSuch a fun and festive celebration of summer.
ReplyDelete- The Tablescaper
The red makes everything look so HOT, HOT, HOT! Love it, of course. The red screen made me sigh because it is so darn cute! As far as I'm concerned, there's nothing quite like a Diet Coke on a hot summers day.
ReplyDeleteThis just says fun to me, love the red/check with yellow, its fabulous!
ReplyDeleteThis is so festive and charming, Kim! I'd love to be there!
ReplyDeleteYou make me want to sit back and enjoy a glass of your lemonade...Oh..and a perhaps a slice of that cold watermelon, please? :-))
ReplyDeleteI got my red and white fix. Thanks, Kim!!! Just perfect!!
ReplyDeleteI hope your party is still going because I'm on my way! What an inviting deck, Kim! Love the cute striped straws ... the glasses are perfect for summer, and you can't beat the deals at Dollar Tree! Right out of a magazine!
ReplyDeleteI also bought same lemon glasses from my nearest shop. It is best to drink lemon juice. Your arrangement is best for party.

What a wonderful, inviting outdoor area. The table looks fabulous. I love the red shutter anchoring the table and all of the coordinating colors. Thanks for all of the info. on where you purchased everything. I'm going to hit Dollar Tree today and see if I can find some of those "lemon" glasses.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day.
Jane
Oh, Kim it is gorgeous! I really love those glasses. I don't think I saw them at my Dollar Tree. And what is it about those stripey straws? They get me every time I see some! :)
ReplyDeleteThis looks fabulous Kim!
ReplyDeleteI am definitely going to give the drop cloth covering a try.
WHAT TIME can I come over? Your porch screams, "Party".
ReplyDeleteWe plan on celebrating the 4th at our home and you have inspired me to try harder today to make the day fun for my guests. Love your red and yellow porch decor. It is very guest friendly. Thanks for sharing where you find your treasures. Hugs..Maryjane of Storybook Cottage
Loving everything on your deck. The red gingham plates are great! Thanks for being part of the blog parties. I have been so busy, but I managed to get a post going and can't wait to blog hop!
ReplyDeleteI have those same lemon glasses! Yep, $1.00 at Dollar Tree. I bought 9 glasses which was all they had!! I love them and they look great with all the red!
ReplyDeleteI am loving all your styling!!! The dollar store...who knew. Wish I was on my way over for a diet coke and some chatting!
ReplyDeleteSo many fabulous ideas. I completely meant to join the block party....Sweet Mister had neck surgery on the 21st, and I pretty much got side tracked....worth it, but I'm sad that I missed participating.
