I love dining alfresco style (eating in the open air).  Last week I promised to share my simple table setting for a recent meal the hubs and I enjoyed on our deck.  Of course we all eat a lot of picnics outdoors  — alfresco style, but I think of alfresco as a slightly elevated dining experience.

So, our alfresco dining for two was more like a date night.  A nicely set table with a delicious meal and time spent with your significant other?  I’d say that’s perfection!

Dining Alfresco for Two

I started setting the table with a throw blanket I bought at TJ Maxx last year.  It was bought to use for picnics, but I’m happy to repurpose a blanket as a table cloth.  Who else has done that?

More details at livelaughrowe.comLike I mentioned earlier, I wanted to keep it simple.  Let’s be honest, even when dining out — the table is set fairly simple. It has the basics:  tablecloth, plates, napkins, silverware, etc.
