Pool-time Dining

It's hard to believe Summer is almost over.  Where does the time go?  Just when we get everything all situated down by the pool,  in another month, it will be time to put everything away.


 It's time  do some pool side entertaining. My husband has been busy installing led lights, to make the evening more colorful and fun.  We ordered a new daybed and it came late, so next summer, we plan on enjoying our pool area more.
I did two dinner parties days apart. I set the table both times with our new melamine dinnerware.
It is so colorful and pretty. I bought it at QVC.
First dinner party.




Our pool beach entry, looking toward the tall palm tree.  My husband Paul, wrapped the palm tree with rope lights.

My wonderful hubby getting things ready.

Second dinner party.  I changed the tablecloth and the napkins.



Our Outdoor kitchen.  I had my husband install led lights under the outdoor kitchen island and palapa for some night time drama and ambiance.  You can change the 20 colors with a remote control.

Beautiful sunset

  3. Beautiful poolside setting. It's fun to entertain outdoors, but summers here are too hot to make it pleasant. Of course the pool would make a difference. '-)

  13. WONDERFUL! Linda, you have a dear husband, just like I do! Your pool (MY GOODNESS, I could use a dip right now!) and your table are perfect for these late summer evenings. I hope the weather is not TOO hot? We still have gorgeous weather and are now into week two of school.

  16. Happy Labour Day, Linda.
    May it be a fun filled and happy occasion.
    I love both setting but the coward in me enjoys the second more... my daughter - who for years I thought could be colorblind ahahahahh - would love the first. I guess that's the table setting for and by Happy People. You are! And so is your dear husband who has such a creative wife.
    Enjoy,
    Teresa
