It was way too hot to sit outdoors this last week. It is finally cooler. Since Lilly went home yesterday, I have time to also set a table outside of our study for two.
We also have new french doors that were recently installed. We spend a lot of time in out study, so it is wonderful to have the french doors. The new screen is on the way. The sound of the fountain is very soothing.
Pretty in green with bright orange accents. These Alstroemeria lasts quite awhile.
This outdoor rug is very fun with the large flowers. We actually have three of them from Costco.
Pier1 white chargers break up the green from the tablecloth and plates/
A lovely place to sit and enjoy lunch with my hubby.

Just gorgeous! Your mention of Pier One (a fave store of mine too) reminds me that I haven't been there since Christmas! Or maybe it was Easter? Anyway, too long ago! I must sneak over there this long weekend perhaps.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty and colorful - I would love to be sitting there, chatting with you!
ReplyDeleteLinda, you have your own slice of paradise. Glad you can enjoy it! My Alstromeria is doing great, and I've felt guilty about cutting it for a bouquet. LOL
ReplyDeleteLinda, you are soooooo creative. I'd love to put my feet under this cute little table and enjoy a bite to eat and the beautiful table scape. Happy 4th!
ReplyDeleteAhh what a nice place to relax. The alstroemeria is so pretty- love the color and those dishes! We are getting a Costco and are looking forward to seeing what they offer. I'm glad it cooled down for you. The new doors look beautiful.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! I'm going to show my husband the French doors...I've been begging!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely lovely, LInda. This is my favorite color of Alstroemeria. I buy Alstroemeria frequently because they last for two or more weeks. Beautiful alfresco setting! Happy Weekend - Happy 4th!
ReplyDeleteThank you Sarah. Flowers that last are wonderful. Happy 4th to you as well.
DeleteIs the salad plate melamine? It is beautiful! What a great spot for lunch for 2!!
ReplyDeleteHi Pinky, yes the salad plate is melamine. I found them at our local Safeway store. We do enjoy our little spot off the study.
DeleteOh Linda this is sooo wonderful! I can just imagine the enjoyment you get out of going through those french doors into you little paradise for two!! Your decorating amazes me as always. Have a fun & safe holiday weekend Linda!

ReplyDeleteKatie, thank you for your visit. A special lunch for two.
DeleteOhhhh so pretty Linda! I love alstromeria and the white chargers make everything pop!
ReplyDeleteJenna
Thanks Jenna. The flowers do last a long time. Love the white chargers from Pier 1.
DeleteYour setting looks so lovely, Linda! I especially love the rug and the bold pattern! It has a purple background, doesn't it? Is it new? I looked on Costco's website but couldn't find it. Do you know the brand or name?
ReplyDeleteThanks Gail. Actually the background is brown with some rust and green. If I ever see an awesome purple background rug, I will be sure to contact you. Walters Cafe au Lait is the rug.
DeleteThat rug is just yummy! I haven't seen anything that pretty at ours.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely view to have right outside your study. You guys are always up to adding something like the French doors! Thanks for visiting me! Wondered if anyone would remember me? hahaha
Jackie, how can we forget someone who is so talented. Your blog is awesome. Great recipes, decorating, gorgeous tablescapes and more. I know you are leading a very busy life.
DeleteI love the orange alstroemeria centerpiece that is so attractive with your floral dishes, chargers and green tablecloth. Your new rug is a perfect backdrop for your alfresco table.
ReplyDeleteHave a great Fourth of July.
Thank you Bonnie. I love the look of the rug. It is a key anchor here and so colorful. Happy 4th to you.
DeleteSo, so pretty dear Linda!
ReplyDeleteThe gentle shades of Summer and your enticing spot have lured me right into your tablescape. What a joy it is to visit you, my talented friend.
Happy 4th of July to you!
