How to Create a Special Outdoor Dining Area

| | |

I am so happy to share our new Outdoor Dining area at our Waco Airbnb. I wanted to create an additional outdoor dining area and thanks to Bed Bath and Beyond, this area under the pergola is just incredible.

Pergola Outdoor Dining

We installed the pergola and styled this entire outdoor dining area. I loved sitting at this outdoor dining table and it felt like we were at a garden table. Isn’t this the most wonderful spot for dining?

How to Create a Special Outdoor Dining Area

Today is Day One of my Thirty Days of Summer for the month of June!

I am so excited to share a new dining area I created with Bed Bath and Beyond at our home in Waco, Texas. As much as we love to dine on the porch, I thought it might be fun to create another outdoor dining area at our Waco home.

So I added this amazing wood pergola from Bed Bath and Beyond and the entire dining area underneath. Isn’t this just wonderful?

Outdoor Dining Party in the Backyard

I went with a green theme because this spot feels like we are dining in the garden. The roses are from the local grocery store and everything else is from Bed Bath and Beyond.

Outdoor Dining in the Garden

The rectangle table seats six perfectly and I actually enjoyed breakfast out here on Sunday morning. It was like dining with the birds as the bird chirping and atmosphere was incredible.

Items We Used in Our Outdoor Dining Area

Outdoor Dining Under the Pergola

Half Moon Wood 10-Foot x 12-Foot Pergola in Cinder

I can’t even begin to tell you how much I love this pergola! It is made from durable wood and it is built to resist warping. The half moon braces create a modern space for our friends and guests to enjoy.

In case this pergola is out of stock, here is the Coolaroo® Pergola Canopy which is a much lower priced similar alternative. It even has a shade and light filtering canopy!

  1. Absolutely gorgeous.
    I live in northern Indiana. We experience quite a bit of insects during our summer months (mosquitoes, flies, bees). Just using citronella candles and oils are not enough to ward off those pesky little creatures. What are your suggestions?

    1. I have made a cloth curtain around my outdoor areas to attempt to keep bugs out. Unfortunately, it is tough to completely get rid of them.

  2. Lovely dining space you’ve created! The pergola is very pretty. : )

    Just like Lori, before me, I’ve got to ask how you enjoy outside meals without bugs, when in Waco.
    I’m also a Texas girl and we have quite a time battling flies, mosquitos, and more, when there is food outside.

    1. Thank you so much! I am only recently experiencing the issue with bugs in Waco, as we don’t have many in California. I have made a curtain out of cloth before to keep bugs out!

    1. I have found that this pergola and similar ones are around $1,000 to $2,000! Thankfully, we had help setting ours up and it is weighted at the bottom so it doesn’t tip over!

  3. You always find the loveliest glassware…ordering these today! I think we all are ready for a bit of family gathering and friends entertaining. Inspirational post for me!
