Decor Thoughts/Hot under {$100}: Summer Decor Essentials

July 10, 2013

What are your favorite activities during summer?

I love to throw random cookouts (including one when one of my closest friends visits in a few weeks!!!), enjoy al fresco dining, and just relax in the shade on a lazy afternoon.

I compiled a list of decor and entertaining essentials I’ll be using and buying for my summer soirees (current obsession: a great pitcher that can double as a vase!)

Here is the list so far:

  • A tray for stacking dishes carrying fresh watermelon or cocktails
  • A triple duty towel – use it to sit on the grass, dry myself off, or warm myself during a cool night
  • A beautiful pitcher for those delicious drinks
  • Durable plates to serve up some fresh vegetables/dip and grilled goodies
  • Fun glasses for cool drinks

    Fab picks! I’m loving that tray especially, so chic and almost Chinese-y looking. Thanks for the heads up, might have to add it to the shopping list…

    • Chic 'n Cheap Living July 15, 2013 at 00:10

      Elly, I’m glad to enable your Zara Home shopping- you’re the one who got me into it! I’m definitely looking into a few trays on the site!
