Outdoor Dining

By: H. Iacobacci-Miller

Spring fever is in full swing. Neighbors are firing up their grills and everyone is enjoying being outside. Why not create an outdoor dining space that you and your family can enjoy from now until the fall?

When creating your outdoor dining space, treat it like you would your indoor dining room.

Outdoor furniture doesn't have to be hard and uncomfortable and eating outside doesn't mean eating by candle light.

This set from Home Decorators Collection is stylish and affordable. Add colorful cushions and festive linens to brighten up the table and add color and texture.

Rugs aren't just for indoors anymore either. Soften up the space with an outdoor rug that will allow you to kick off your shoes and relax.

If you are afraid to bring out your dishes

and breakable glasses, check out Linens 'n Things for a fun assortment of dishes perfect for outdoor entertaining.

The most important thing to remember is to have fun and take advantage of the season!
