For years I have wanted to either dress out this deck or take it down. It is in the trees..I live in a house literally in the trees...so this year was the year to do it. We painted up some second hand porch furniture...that metal kind with table and 4 chairs and a serving cart. We won't get to use it much this year since the heat is already ehre but it will be great in the fall and a lot of the winter in Atlanta.
My daughter told me that Big Lots had their plastic dishes on sale so I check it out and bought 8 plates and a big bowl. The salad bowls were a bit large so I did not get them. Then I found 8 sturdy plain red ones at my WalMart Mini Market on sale for 4 for 0.75! They should last a long time.
These are not dishwasher safe, but then we will not eat out there too often. I think I will have a "Harvest" picnic out there with friends come cool weather.
Now I need to go to WalMart and get those red plastic insulated cups like the red Solo cups.
These were on half price sale and had the colors of the furniture in them...blue, chartreuse, grape, yellow, red. Notice that the plate is full size and the bowl is huge! Should hold the buns quite well.
The colors in the furniture are in the new dishes!!! This table can easily sit 6
