SIMPLE OUTDOOR TABLE SETTINGS

Outdoor dining doesn't have to be elaborate to be fun and entertaining, and I found some great ideas for simple outdoor dining at Country Living. 

Pulling out some vintage items from around the house to use as props for an impromptu Friday night fish fry is always fun.

I love old fashioned picnic tables. This one has been painted white and topped with a basket of lemons for a fresh simple look.

An eclectic mix of vintage china and chairs under the shade of an old tree is a wonderful way to cool off on a hot summer day.

Summer is the perfect time to bring out those colorful table accessories. A brightly striped galvanized tub is a fun way to serve up cold drinks at a summer picnic. 

Summertime entertaining doesn't have to be complicated or expensive. A little imagination and using items you already have on hand may be all you need for a fun gathering for friends and family.
