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.

    I would use the beverage dispenser out by our pool this summer. Here in Florida, it would be get year-round use indoors and out.

    MY sister does most of the entertaining so I would give it to her and she would probably use it on her porch which is the whole length of her house.

    What an opportunity! Recently found your blog and can’t wait to see it all. I’m going to use the workbench my dad made as a potting/work bench on my deck. Poly the heck out of it so it can sustain all weather (although the wood is so solid I probably wouldn’t have to!). I love the rustic look. Shelf underneath for storage of outdoor supplies. I work in the yard a lot (1 1/2 acres) and having a cool drink ready at hand on dad’s bench would be a dream come true! And of course I will put on a pretty cloth to use the bench as a buffet table. Having the dispenser for both daily and party use would be so helpful. Need to further view their site for more useful and pretty things. By the way, I hope to use your wallpaper this weekend to update our bathroom vanity while my husband goes to a golf weekend!!! Thanks so much!!

    I’ve been looking for one of these for years. I would use it in my game room so my guests could serve themselves a beverage freeing up the hostess for other important things like food prep, chatting with guests etc.
