Entertaining during the summer!   A beer table may be just what you need!  It is certainly easier to reach for bottles than someone getting up and down or serving everyone!  From beer (or wine) tables to star studded decorations it just takes planning to step up your presentation from ordinary to extraordinary!  Add one dish with replicated color theme for follow through. Red, white and blue, stars and stripes-party on!

With Navy blue as the most dominant dark color (velvet please) the backdrop for the 4th of July is in place with only vibrant additions needed for the full effect! If your permanent color scheme is not red, white and blue you can add one or more of the colors and a stripe or star between Memorial Day, through Flag Day, the 4th of July to Labor Day for a patriotic touch in the summer months. Seasonal changes add vibrancy to your home and set the stage for a themed party! I love this outdoor sofa from Frontgate.

An antique apothecary chest holds all items that don’t have another home. An interesting piece of furniture combined with contemporary art, an elephant foot print and Zebra sculpture. Mix it up for interest!

This African themed grouping is based by my Grandmother’s antique drop leaf table. It has been a corner table with one leaf up, extra seating for dining or the play station for children. The accessories have a mainly red and black for visual flow and are simply an ever changing collection.
