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.

    We’re spending a lot of time on the lake with family!
    The beverage dispenser will be wonderful to use on our pontoon during our all day cruising!
    We pack lunch fixin’s but I dislike all the empty soda cans and water bottles… It will be so convenient
    to fill the dispenser with lemonade or tea!

    Our family and friends live in our backyard every summer. We swim, grill, eat, and watch movies outside so I could definitely but the drink dispenser to work each weekend. I would place the drink dispenser on our outdoor side board for easy access. Hope I win!

    I’ve got plans to have movie night on my driveway. Show the movie on my garage door. Set up chairs, blankets, some flameless candles, grill some burgers. 2nd option:
    Your patio inspired me to take a look at my backyard. Now I’m thinking about installing one, albeit a small one. With that added space, the entertainment area would be doubled and give lots more living space. A few lights on the trees, some candles, snacks & the party is on. If no new patio, my back deck is the go to space.

    Nice dispenser.

    Check out silicone lids by Charles Viancin (on Amazon and other places) They come in a variety of sizes and shapes and very decorative (lily pads, snowflakes, hibiscus, etc). I use the smaller covers for drinks – nothing worse than seeing a fly doing the backstroke in your merlot! The larger ones fit over bowls. I use mine to cover bowls in the refrigerator and then use them as a cover in the microwave to decrease splatters.

    There are other silicone covers, but these are just too much fun.

    I would use the drink dispenser on our new deck. Our first big outside party will be in June when we celebrate my grandson, Jude’s, first birthday!

    This is perfect for a large family of which I have. It would be great for the gatherings at my sister’s house on the island in the kitchen so that the young children can have delicious and cold lemonade too.

    We have a big 4th of July gathering at the lake (we actually start on the 3rd) that includes family, friends, co-workers, and now friends of friends. This Durachill would be wonderful for a big batch of lemonade!
