Hello friends. Long time no talk. I have to apologize for things being a little quiet around here. Hubby took some time off a couple of weeks ago and though it was supposed to be a little holiday, we worked on finishing the backyard. We worked on the little sitting area and I can’t wait to show you later on but I can give you a little peek to the dining area. I set up a quick and easy outdoor tablescape two ways.
As you can see, we painted the privacy wall black. I love how the black paint looks but I’m still unsure if the beams should be painted black or not? Hubby wanted them to remain unpainted and though I like the contrast, I wonder if it would look better all painted black. Unfortunately, once you commit, you can’t really go back.
As the centerpiece I used this little planter with herbs. I love how these look in this little tub and the fragrance of the herbs when you’re sitting at the table.
I used melamine outdoor plates and glasses…
Super simple but I think it looks so pretty. The chairs are from Article from last year. I actually moved the black outdoor chairs indoors.
For the second look, I simply put together this little arrangement using hydrangeas from the grocery store and some wild daisies I picked from the side of the road.
I love the way the daisies look with the hydrangeas, it’s such a pretty summer arrangement that takes very little effort.
I used my old brass candle holders for a touch of glam.
Summer time is about taking it easy and these pretty tablescapes were super easy to put together but still make it feel special.
Thank you so much for stopping by today. I hope you’re enjoying your summer so far.
See you soon. Much love,
Lucy
Nooooo……..you didnt ask but don’t paint the beams black. That area is just perfect. As soon as I saw it I said ‘wow!’ There is such a nice contrast with the wood and black paint. Just perfect the way it is!
I love the contrast too! Please don’t paint the wooden beams black. The outdoor room looks beautiful!
Love the look of natural wood with the black. A show stopper!
I also vote to keep the beams as-is. It adds a warm, organic feel to your space.
Me too. As soon as I saw the black and contrasting wood, I went WOW also. Its absolutely stunning. I can’t wait to see the rest but I know it will look awesome too.
Beautiful space- it was worth every minute of your husband’s ‘staycation’! And another vote for unpainted posts….
I agree with everyone else. The fence is perfect!
I also love the herbs and flowers on the table! It is all so pretty!!

Pretty tablescapes!
I looooove the look of natural wood with the black.
Amazing Ideas.
This looks incredible, and while I’m not entirely certain that it will turn out anywhere near as wonderful when I make it, I’m going to give it my best attempt nevertheless. Many, many thanks for giving this information.
