backyard inspiration

If your outdoor dining area looked like this, everyone would beg to be invited to your backyard dinner parties. You'd all dine under the dim light of strung lanterns and evening sky, with mismatched plates full of seasonal delights - garden tomatoes or juicy peaches or homemade jam spread on warm bread - whatever was in the house. And when everyone's palette was satisfied, there they'd remain, napkin in lap, just savoring good company and cozy surroundings.
