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.

    This would make a great addition to the carport area we have concerted to a piazza for the summer! It’s my favorite place to entertain dinner guests with the strings of lights, my grandmother’s old iron chairs and table great place to cook out and enjoy the lightening bugs!

    Hi, Rhoda – Neat serving pieces. Here in Northern California, summer temps typically reach 100 degrees plus on most days. It’s always a challenge to serve drinks and food outside because of the heat. These serving pieces and the drink dispenser are a great solution! I would definitely use this beautiful drink dispenser on my covered patio on many evenings all summer long. Thanks for introducing these unique products from Frontgate.
    P.S. Your new patio is spectacular. Hope you really enjoy it.

    Rhoda, your new patio looks so fresh and inviting. I hope you enjoy it often this summer. Between your sweet screened porch & the patio you’ve got lovely outdoor choices. My husband and I are right in the process of moving from Oregon to an “active adult” community near Tucson,Az. We will have a lovely covered patio area looking out on gorgeous mountains. We are so looking forward to making new friends and getting back into entertaining. I would adore to have the Frontgate beverage dispenser — wouldn’t sangria be gorgeous in it?!! I’ve always wondered why all the attractive dispensers I see don’t have a center channel for ice so everything doesn’t get diluted. Frontgate did it !!! Yay, and it’s a handsome one, and roomy to boot !!

    I have always wanted an outdoor room. My husband has finally agreed to it and I would love a dispenser like the Frontgate one for sharing lemonade with friends and family. I love what you have done with your home, Rhoda. You have made a charming nest and you are so sweet to share it with your readers. Bless you. Nancy Harvey

    Oh I love this and would use this in one of our two outdoor living areas – the front porch or the back deck! Pink Lemonade would be going in that container! With sliced oranges to give it a little POP! Love! Love! Love!
