Spring into Summer with Alfresco Entertaining

It's time to Entertain!

I really think that Spring/Summer is the best time to entertain, especially when your other half can share with the cooking by firing up the BBQ.

I've shared a few new recipes on the Facebook page, a special favourite is the watermelon and orange salad it is so delicious and its from Martha Stewart herself.  So if you haven't liked the Table Tops in a Box Facebook page, you should because recipes is one of my favourite things to post and research.

Some handy hints if you want to spruce up your home, especially effective ways to add some life into your living/dining areas.

Since opening my concept store, 1/306 Bronte Road, Waverley NSW I've been ranging the amazing 'Fab Rugs' - sustainable product that you can utilize either indoors or out, these rugs come in 4 sizes and can really define especially an outside dining area.  They come in many colours and styles, affordable as they start in price in my concept store from $66 - $134 - which are great prices.  So that's one step to give your outdoor entertaining area a lift (a hint you just hose them to clean).

Indoors, its so easy to just change your cushions, you can add a real energy into your living  room by introducing new colours in your cushions and don't be afraid to mix n match, its ok to have stripes with floral, trust me! 

Your dining tables both indoor and outdoor should also be given a lift and there is no better way than to add a table runner, these runners can be used 24/7 and is another way to tie in your new colour scheme in your cushions, remember textures and dimensions when styling a new look.

These are simple tips, and if you'd like I am happy to help with any ideas, either come into store or email me at libby@tabletopsinabox.com.au - it helps if you have photos so I can see the room and your current colour scheme and style.
