It seems Serena & Lily really has outdoor entertaining down to a science. A quick trip over to the Serena & Lily website and you find yourself happily immersed in an array of products that would make you this summer’s hostess with the mostest. Coolest product of all? – the Riviera Bar Console seen above. Under that beautiful teak top? Two water tight compartments to hold ice for all the amazing cocktails you are going to make while standing behind this sexy rattan bar. Southside anyone?
It seems that recently I have had outdoor furniture on the brain. Can’t really blame me now that we’re into the throws of summer, right? I am completely smitten with the Jardiniere Bench and Jardiniere Chair from Terrain – the scale, the shape, and that lovely cool mint color. I would actually like to be seated in the photo above roasting a marshmallow, wouldn’t you?
Terrain also has some other great items to help you celebrate your summer, and are perhaps the perfect things to order in preparation for the 4th! Click on the photo to get redirected to the Terrain site.
Before I got married, I was quite keen on having a beautiful bathroom in my new home with my husband, towels all hung in a row just so. I registered for monogrammed towels. Fast forward just over two years to today. The towels are never hung just so, and despite all my pleading with Mr. B, he sometimes forgets and uses them to dry the dog after he has given him a bath. So those beautiful white towels with the blue monogram are not quite as white as I would like them to be, and there are some questionable spots on a few of them. Although I absolutely love the monogram, I have decided that this time I am going with an all white towel that can be bleached within an inch of its life if the situation calls for it.Enter the dream towel. Although I have decided that I should have all white towels, I would like them to have some texture to add an element of design. I am, and have been for quite some time, besotted with these Frette Towels available here. At $50.00 a towel, who wouldn’t be? Alas, I cannot bring myself to spend that kind of money on towels that I fear may go the way of my monogrammed beauties. Perhaps one day … Enter Serena & Lily’s Chevron Jacquard Bath Towels. This was my next stop on the journey to finding the perfect towel. This pattern is quite different, and very cool, almost vintage even. Again, however, I still wasn’t keen on spending $38.00 per towel. Enter the winning towel. The Threshold Textured Towel from Target. My oh my. While they do not look exactly like the Frette Towels, and in no way resemble the Serena & Lily Towels, they are good looking, and they are $6.00. Problem solved, don’t you think?
