Casual Porch and Patio Dining

Enjoying meals outside is one of the perks of summer. Get inspired to create the perfect setting for a summer full of alfresco dining.

White umbrella and table
 

Salvaged Setting

Outdoor dining requires three elements: table, chairs, and shade. A salvaged farmhouse table, metal folding chairs, and a classic table umbrella create a casual dining setup. Covering the table with a tablecloth mirrors an indoor table arrangement, while the crisp white and khaki stripes go with the cool colors of the season. Add a vase full of sunflowers for the perfect summer gathering.
