SummerTime is here and the living is easy!
That’s what we all try to enjoy about summer and now that school is out for most and June is right around the corner, we’ll all be getting ready for more outdoor parties and entertaining. Â I do enjoy this time of year so much especially now that I have finished the patio installation along with all the furniture that we’ll be enjoying and using out there.

With that, I know that I’ll be having some parties on the patio. It’s nice and spacious and can seat a lot of guests, so it will be fun to use. Â That’s where Frontgate comes in. Â We’ve been chatting and they sent me a gorgeous beverage dispenser which will come in handy on my potting bench on the patio, holding 3 gallons of beverages for guests. Â What fun that will be!

I knew this potting bench would come in handy and be a great serving station out on the patio. Â It’s perfect for that.

The Durachill beverage dispenser from Frontgate is so cool! Â You know how beverages can become watered down when you have to put ice in there and leave it outside? Â Instant meltdown. Â These dispensers from Frontgate are stainless steel with compartments in the bottom and top that holds ice, keeping your beverages ice cold without diluting down the drinks. Â Love that feature!

They also have some great Super Chill insulated serving pieces for outdoors that keep things super chilled too. Â These serving trays pop open and ice can go underneath the metal, keeping whatever is on the tray super cold.

Yes, indeed, SummerTime is for easy living, that is for sure! Â And watermelon is part of that for me. I love watermelon and all the summer fruits that go with this time of year. Â To make my chalkboard sign, I copied this chalkboard printable with my own version with regular chalk, link here. Â Just adds a fun touch to your table.

So looking forward to hosting a few gatherings in my backyard this year and getting out these serving pieces will be fun.

Great news for one of YOU!! Â
Frontgate is giving one of my readers their very own Durachill Beverage dispenser too. Â This 3 gallon dispenser holds a lot of liquid, so you can entertain a crowd in style.

I just redid the deck last year. Would love to use it when I have people of for 4th of July.
This Durachill Dispenser will be fantastic for family get togethers on the patio!
I would use the Durachill Dispenser on my deck. It would be perfect on my new table that I just finished making and putting on outside last weekend.
It would be perfect for our neighborhood get-togethers on our patio!
I have wanted one of these forever. This one is lovely and I would love to use it on our screened porch.
Thanks for the great giveaway!
I check in with your blog every few weeks. It seems that each time I read it, the post is sponsored by a company that has given you something. This blog reads like a commercial. I would rather read about what you are doing yourself, rather than hawking a particular company or product. Unfortunately, I will not longer be reading this blog.
I would use it on my patio!!
Great idea to enhance summer fun!! Need one…
This would be wonderful for my son’s graduation party on our deck. Rhoda, I just love how your deck turned out, it is beautiful and so inviting.
We have a screened in porch with a cute faux bamboo table- I would use it there!
I would use this at all the family gatherings we have outside on the porch!
So cool and a great giveaway. I would use that on my deck and come up with an excuse for a party!
I would use it on the patio! I love the large size for serving guest!
My screened porch – I love to entertain there.
I’d use it entertaining in our backyard…. Love Frontgate
Kathy 🙂
The dispenser would be great for sweet tea by the pool!!!!
I would use it all the time! It’s perfect for having easy access to fruit flavored water for the family. I’d keep it on the island for everyday use. It would also be great for tailgating and on the patio.
I think I’d keep it right on my kitchen counter to encourage drinking water all day. Thanks for the chance.
Rhoda, I recently came across a great idea in an old BHG or Domino and thought of you. It’s from Frontgate and if you can’t get it through them, I sure you could DIY something and use real plantings instead of faux. It looked fabulous in the magazine; they had used at least three of them and embellished the planter as well.

It’s the hedge, btw.
HI, Teresa, those are very interesting, I think you mean as a privacy fence for my patio? My dad and I are going to build a nice one and plant vines on it. Thanks!
Rhoda, your patio looks fabulous and I’m sure you’ll use it a bunch this summer! We built a platform deck in our garden this spring, and we like to go out there and “watch things grow!” The drink dispenser from Frontgate would be handy out there!
