Dining Table Styled by Tara Sloggett

Outdoor dining! There is nothing like it for producing a festive mood with no effort. Add in the fact that you can cook a whole meal on a grill if you choose, and you have super easy preparation.  It’s a great way to bring the family together for a relaxed and casual dining experience.  Toss a Frisbee around, play with the kids, or have a cocktail, as dinner sizzles on the grill.

Inspiration Board - Accessorizing

I've had the opportunity to design and produce a couple of speciality outdoor living spaces for Home Infatuation customers.  At the end of each of these projects I smugly thought to myself, these spaces look great.  That smugness quickly dissipated when the stylists arrived with their bags full of seemingly incompatible fruits, foods, flowers, vases, planters, bottles, glasses and  knickknacks to style the spaces for the photo shoot. It is truly amazing what skillful accessorizing can do to a space - I believe it to be an art form.  My projects went from nice to amazing right before my eyes. This week we will be talking about accessorizing your outdoor spaces and I thought there was no better place to start than with some inspiration from professional stylists' portfolios.
