The summer is my absolute favorite time to entertain– I just love that blend of indoor/outdoor dining, and the fact that get togethers can last long in to the night.  It’s such a fun time! I love to entertain, and I’ve made a point over the years of stocking my home with lots of multi functional entertaining items.  Choosing pieces that can adapt to any decor setting, but are still high quality and elegant is the goal.  And I believe you can find that in any budget.  With party season well underway– I’m planning a few myself this summer!– I thought it would be a good time to share some entertaining must haves that can help build a totally stylish and functional environment for your guests.  All items are under $50! Just click on the collage below to shop.
