I love this photo. ⁣ ⁣ It’s from the amazing Linda @lifeonsummerhill. ⁣ ⁣ Linda has a gorgeous account and I hope you will head on over to her account and follow her!⁣ ⁣ Swipe left to see a pretty outdoor setting and then scroll one more time for the best diy! You can find the complete tutorial for the hanging light on her Instagram. ⁣ ⁣ Linda is a new instagram friend and I am sure you will like her home and creativity as much as I do!⁣ ⁣ Let’s all show her some insta love.

It’s Easy Elegance Wednesdays and I am sharing some of the tables I have set for fall. ⁣ ⁣ Now I know it’s still hot and technically summertime. ⁣ ⁣ But if you were thinking about planning ahead for fall then this might be something you want to read. ⁣ ⁣ If you look closely in this photo you might think I have lost my mind because I posted a table with a Christmas plate. ⁣ ⁣ But this really was a table I set last fall. I am the “mix and match queen” and I decided to include a Spode Gold Christmas Tree plate. ⁣ ⁣ I should probably mention that my guest who was seated in that spot also has a Christmas Eve birthday. ⁣ ⁣ Today on the blog I am sharing a lot of tips about setting a table for fall. It’s also Easy Elegance Wednesday so be prepared for lots of inspiration from my blogger friends too. ⁣ ⁣ https://my100yearoldhome.com/tips-to-setting-a-table-for-fall/

I have mentioned many times that I was very determined to add a wrap around porch to our Waco Airbnb home. ⁣ ⁣ My idea was almost completely axed when my contractor told me the only way to make it work was to take off the existing roof and start over. ⁣ ⁣ This was an expensive decision but I am so happy I said yes. ⁣ ⁣ You see, there is a gorgeous hundred year old oak tree that really wants to be admired from our wrap around porch. ⁣ ⁣ Now that it is done I know that it was one hundred percent the right thing to do. ⁣ ⁣ And I now tell everyone that from the start I always knew we would have a wrap around porch. (Just don’t tell anyone that it almost didn’t happen.)⁣ ⁣ Swipe left for porch construction photos. ⁣ ⁣ Our porch is now outfitted with amazing furniture from @bedbathandbeyond and it is important to note that all of the furniture arrived in April. ⁣ ⁣ Which means I haven’t even seen it in person. ⁣ ⁣ So I am living vicariously from the photos. Just like you. ⁣ ⁣ If you would like details about our new porch furniture or are interested in renting our home next time you are in Waco, then just click on the link on my Instagram home page. ⁣ ⁣ https://my100yearoldhome.com/we-finished-the-wrap-around-porch-at-our-waco-airbnb/⁣

We had a very fun family dinner in our backyard last weekend. ⁣ ⁣ So I thought I would share one more photo to share from the dinner party. ⁣ I chose this one because I wanted to make sure you all noticed the Dodgers game playing In the background inside the house. During our party. ⁣ ⁣ Did it bother me? ⁣ ⁣ Absolutely not. ⁣ ⁣ Since I had my back to the tv, I was the one who kept asking for score updates during dinner. ⁣ ⁣ So why am I bringing this to your attention?⁣ ⁣ Because entertaining is fun when you are having fun. It’s about being creative and not trying to be perfect. It’s about enjoying what’s important to you and your family. ⁣ ⁣ Thus, if you (and your guests) are all Dodgers fans then please know it’s ok to have the game on in the background. ⁣ ⁣ (I do want to add that I love being a grown up. Because never in a million years would my parents let me have the game on during a dinner party. Or any dinner for that matter.)⁣ ⁣ But that’s what makes entertaining fun. Creating unique and fun experiences for everyone. ⁣ ⁣ Even the sports fans. Go to my Instagram home page and click on the link if you want to see how to plan a party like this. https://my100yearoldhome.com/entertaining-in-the-backyard/

I wanted to share another photo from last nights dinner party. ⁣ ⁣ This one is pretty amazing. ⁣ ⁣ The light is a little over saturated but I don’t care. I love this photo!⁣ ⁣ Thanks so much to all of you who purchased the personalized place cards from my daughter-in-law Charlotte @peonyperfection. She has been very busy today!⁣ ⁣ I hope you all saw the DIY’s in my post today to make the hanging lights and stenciled napkins. ⁣ ⁣ If not, just click on the link on my Instagram home page for a direct link. ⁣ ⁣ The DIY for the wood table tops is coming later this week. Finally!⁣ ⁣ https://my100yearoldhome.com/entertaining-in-the-backyard/

What an evening!⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Last night was magical and I loved every minute of it. We hosted Dave’s family for dinner and I loved being able to create a magical evening. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ It was relaxing and fun and really special. The food was delish but casual and I loved it. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ On the blog today I shared how to create an evening like this and the hanging lanterns, place cards, napkins and more. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ My daughter in law Charlotte made the place cards. You can find them and much more on her Etsy page. Head to @peonyperfection. ⁣ ⁣ It was such a wonderful evening and I can’t wait to share it with you. ⁣⁣ ⁣ To find my blog post, tap on the link on my Instagram Home page. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ https://my100yearoldhome.com/entertaining-in-the-backyard/⁣
