Outdoor Entertaining with Frontgate + Giveaway!

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.  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.  That’s where Frontgate comes in.  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.  What fun that will be!

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

The Durachill beverage dispenser from Frontgate is so cool!  You know how beverages can become watered down when you have to put ice in there and leave it outside?  Instant meltdown.  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.  Love that feature!

They also have some great Super Chill insulated serving pieces for outdoors that keep things super chilled too.  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!  And watermelon is part of that for me. I love watermelon and all the summer fruits that go with this time of year.  To make my chalkboard sign, I copied this chalkboard printable with my own version with regular chalk, link here.  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!!  

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

Bring on the parties!

Here’s  a look at how the ice goes in the top tube which is inserted down into the dispenser.  More ice can be added to the bottom area too for super chilled beverages.

All you have to do is leave a comment telling me where you will use the Durachill beverage dispenser of you are the lucky winner?  Do you have a favorite outdoor spot that you like to entertain?

If you’ve never checked them out, go over to Frontgate and have a look at their beautiful outdoor entertaining items, they have some great stuff.  There’s a Frontgate outlet store here in Atlanta and I love to go in there and look.

    I would use the dispenser on my covered back porch which opens onto a paver patio. Our paver patio was installed last year to replace an old ground level deck, and we are loving our new patio just as much as you are loving yours!

    I’d use this on my patio. We always have the neighborhood kids over every day playing or swimming with my kids. This would be perfect to keep everyone hydrated on those hot summer days!

    Our son is in the Army and will be home this summer with his new wife. We are planning an outdoor party for them and the Durachill Beverage dispenser would be a great help for serving beverages.

    Love, love your patio Rhoda!!!…and I love Frontgate too…they have such beautiful things and of such great quality and design. Great giveaway….I seem to always have large gatherings. I too have a potting bench on my veranda and that would be the perfect place for it … then again I have many large gatherings indoors and would be most used in the kitchen where the buffets are usually set up…The dispense is not only functional but has such a beautiful classic design.

    Love your new outside living space. I would definitely use it on my new patio when we move from the frozen north return to Southern Alabama later this year. I’m sure it would be a hit when I serve my new neighbors my Cousin Joy’s Special “Secret” Lemonade Recipe from it. Rhoda, you continue to be an inspiration for getting things done and living life to its fullest. Thank you.

    I would use the beverage dispenser on my back porch on hot, humid summer days her in Virginia! I was on a Master Gardener Field trip 2 weeks ago and the homeowner clearned her potting bench and used it as a server, too!
