It’s that time of year again, when we open up our screened-in porch for the season. We’ve been loving our mornings & evenings out here lately. Today, I wanted to show you how we use this space for intimate dinner gatherings featuring new summer pieces from Mark & Graham.

As you know, I love Mark & Graham for travel gear and bags. Also, M&G is such a great resource for your home and entertaining needs. Their new summer collection is full of coastal inspired pieces that I know you will love too!

We enjoy hosting our friends on our porch for dinner nights. I leave my sofa in there for bench seating, and just add in a round table and chairs. It makes for a lovely evening with the breeze streaming in, and it’s nice to have another space to entertain in during the warmer months.

Here is how I set up our porch for dinner evenings with new pieces from Mark & Graham…

new tabletop finds…

A couple of my favorite finds from the new Mark & Graham summer collection include these silver pieces. The silver and rattan wine chiller is a beautiful addition and has a nice nautical vibe. It’s a great size for a smaller table too. Also, the silver and bamboo serving tray is another great piece to have in your entertaining arsenal. I will enjoy using these all year long. Both pieces can be personalized with a monogram or name too.

The striped acrylic stemless wine glasses add in a fun touch of navy blue for summer. The set of 4 is under $40. I love to bring a few of these on our travels too. They are easy to pack into a tote for our times out sailing or boating.

The block print napkins with crochet trim are really pretty. They come in light blue (shown here) or navy blue, and sold as a set of 4. A fun tip I like to do for small gatherings is to monogram our guests’ initials on their napkins.

On our bar cart, I added these cane and white coasters (available soon), and the needlepoint flag bottle opener for guests to use. Sometimes I’ll bring in a cooler for cold beverages, and it’s handy to have the bottle opener right there.
