It's official. We opened our patio this weekend with an inaugural BBQ. Let the season of al fresco entertaining and cooking begin.
Perfect timing, right?
Considering I just pinned and posted loads of patio images. It's almost like I planned it.
Don't you just love when it all comes together?

Since it was all looking so lovely, I decided to snap a couple pics and show you around.
This year, just like in my inspiration pictures, I am trying to incorporate more bright colors and interesting patterns to give a bit of umph to our traditional patio set.
For the party, I layered the table with two tablecloths - the top one is vinyl, which is so practical for outdoor entertaining. I also brought out a set of wooden folding chairs for additional seating.
In this corner of the patio, I have two spring chairs set up in the shade. It's the perfect spot to sit and sip a bevvy, while you're grilling.
This full sun corner, has two more chairs from our patio set and the firepit. Mr. DD loves a good, open fire and this pit has seen a lot of action over the years.
One day, I'd love to have some proper lounge furniture in this area. A pair of chairs, or loungers or even a sectional - ah, dreams.
When the crabapple tree is in bloom, it provides the most fragrant canopy for our dining table. Truly lovely.
The hanging lanters, are actually nylon (and solar!) and cast a nice subtle light at night. (find similar here.)
We tried a bunch of new recipes for the party and I can't wait to share them with you...tomorrow.
Hope you had a great weekend.
