My daughters welcomed spring with a splash. But as they joyfully jumped into the pool for the first time this season, I took a look at our neglected porch. Layers of spring pollen and filth covered everything. After some serious cleaning, the patio was once again a clean slate. In partnership with Better Homes and Gardens for Walmart, I shopped for new accessories and now we are ready for outdoor entertaining.

Outdoor Entertaining
For as much time as we spend eating outside, I’ve never had “outdoor dishes.” So I used this opportunity for a spring refresh to pickup my very own set of melanine plates, bowls and cups. BHG for Walmart has a variety of styles and colors to choose from. I love blue and aqua, so I created a mix and match set of blue and aqua dishes that included:
- Teal Trellis plates
- Indigo Medallion cereal bowls
- Teal Trellis berry bowls
- 14 oz Color Rim Tumblers in teal
I love the blue and aqua design so much, we might start eating dinner on these inside. They are so much prettier than our plain white dishes. Bonus, they are dishwasher safe too!


Because I wanted to bring a little more color to the table, I made this white owl tea light holder serve a dual purpose as a vase by inserting a small glass jar. The bamboo lazy Susan is also from BHG for Walmart.


This year I also added two more Better Homes and Gardens galvanized products to my collection, and I predict the galvanized ice bucket and galvanized serving tray serve multiple purposes in our home.

We are ready for afternoons in the pool, who is ready to join us?
