Alfresco Eating Areas

John and I ate our dinner tonight outside on the patio. We will definitely have to get something to take care of the flies and mosquitoes!! The breeze felt wonderful out there though. I just get tired of AC sometimes and need some outside air. This started me thinking about alfresco eating areas outside. Here are a few pictures I found on line when I goggled alfresco eating areas and I thought I would share them with you!

This is my all time favorite! If I lived near the water, this would be just perfect for John and I!!

This coastal picture is just lovely! I love those light fixtures!!

I love the linen table cloth and the swing in this picture! I would be swinging away while I eat, which may not work but I would surely like to try!

Is this just divine!!

Do you like eating alfresco?

  1. Those are all beautiful. Kent and I love dining al fresco. Especially under our new pergolo. We don't have flies or many mosquitos here..so we are lucky.

  6. oh do we ever Sherri! I lack a wonderful backyard for it though...pleanty of yard, but no deck or patio as of yet...fortunate for us - we have a nice big porch or "veranda" as they like to call it - and it's across from a lovely park...with a bandstand! During the summer, they have concerts on Sundays, and we have one of the best seats! Amongst the wicker we nestle in a table & chairs - perfect for supper & music :)

  7. Beautiful photos. We put a fan on our deck, mosquitos and flies don't like wind and just dissapear.

  9. Those are gorgeous! But I must admit, I'm not a hot-weather girl, and when I say that, I mean, 70 degrees or hotter.

    Yeah, I'm a wimp.
