Quick Outdoor Get Together
Thanks to Procter & Gamble and Lowes for sponsoring this post.
We are still currently awaiting a new deck. DIY does save you a ton of money, but with a mountain of projects that need to get done the deck has been pushed back these last couple of weeks. We are hoping to tackle it at some point this July.
While our backyard has been sort of sparse the weather has been rising and we have been spending more and and more time outside so a couple of weeks we searched our garage for spare furniture we could use for outside dining. A quick trip to the garage and we found a white plastic outdoor door table and a search of the outside area behind the garage led to some white plastic chairs.
Not chic and oh so dirty, but we figured it would work for the time being.
Thanks to the lovely people at Procter and Gambleand LowesI had the perfect thing to get my chairs spotless.
It only took a matter of seconds for the spray to work it’s magic!
Voila all clean!
After that I figured a quick outdoor get together was in order. I went into my kitchen and came out with supplies for the perfect treat!
{Is it sad or amazing that I have my kitchen stocked with S’mores supplies?}
A quick trip to my fabric classic produced a black and white gingham fabric to be used as a tablecloth. No sewing for this lady just a simple draping job. On top of the tablecloth went my S’mores supplies and goodies from my china cabinet along with a tabletop Weber grill for roasting our marshmallows!
{Caught the graham cracker thief in action!}
The whole set up including cleaning those chairs took about 15 mins and we were ready to enjoy the sun and some sweets.

ON THE BLOG
My living room is one of the rooms that evolved drastically from when we first moved one. Originally I painted the walls chocolate brown and did accents of white, blue and orange. That lasted maybe 2 years.
Our dining room sat empty for months. Okay maybe it was empty for just a handful of weeks and then we couldn’t take it anymore and put in a folding table and plastic outdoor chairs, but in my mind that was still empty.
On the main floor of our house we have a Florida room. Being that it’s a Florida room it is a considered a 3 season room, because there is no heat in the room. The previous owners used it as an indoor patio with outdoor furniture and it looked like this when we moved in.
It’s great how you keep s’mores on hand…always having to run out at the last minute to get the supplies! Enjoy your 4th!!
