This is a re-post from last year but I had to join Kim at Savvy Southern Style for the Summer Deck and Porches Party. I just realized I used some of the same items in my Summer Entertaining post for the Blog Party tomorrow night! I hope you won’t be sick of seeing some of the same willow things again.
RE-POST
We have had a few cooler days here in Richmond so I decided we would have breakfast on the deck. What a gorgeous day…if it would only stay this way.
See my new gray willow candlesticks? Well, they were not originally gray and the food cover was originally painted white. I’ll be doing a DIY post later on transforming wicker, rattan or willow into the new popular gray.
I found the willow food dome at an antique mall. It’s not an old piece but I really liked it.
The carrier and the napkin rings I purchased with my gift card from our son and DIL.
The candlesticks came from a garden shop that was going out of business and had some great reductions.
The first project we did to our home was to add this extension to the deck. I love having the extra space for seating.
. Oh No! I forgot to tell you not to eat the cantaloupe. I hope you did not break a tooth! I should have told you these are faux cantaloupe. Did I fool anyone?
I’ll be back tomorrow evening for “Summer Entertaining” and I look forward to seeing what you have to share. Thanks to Vanessa and Heather of At The Picket Fence for all their hard work putting this party together.
Hugs, Sherry
Your table is so lovely! I must be in the right spot, as I'm certainly no minimalist when it comes to decorating my house!

How beautiful. I love your tablesetting. The candlesticks and the food cover are gorgeous and your table runner and dishes look just stunning together. Yes, I thought it was real cantelope. How cool is that. Your deck is just beautiful and such pretty furniture and flowers. Gorgeous. Thanks for joining TTT. Hugs, Marty
So nice and inviting…Enjoyed,
Janette
What a pleasure it is to sit here and read your blog; the photography is stunning,and I get so many ideas! I've been reading here for awhile now,and I'm so glad to have found you. I'm in Springfield, VA, and we sometimes go "antiquing" and "junking" in your area!
love your photo's and are looking forward to the "grey" workshop! and the grapes…safe to bite into them?. ha-ha Col x
Absolutely love your style! I'm adding your blog to my list of "favorite blogs" on my site. Looking forward to following along…
What a gorgeous deck & French inspired table setting! Love the iron cutlery carrier and wicker food dome!
Sherry, your deck is so pretty. I love the extension with the seating. Your table setting looks so good. There is a store here that sells the gray wicker pieces and they really have good prices, too. I love the candlesticks you got and painted. That fruit sure looks yummy. I need to go to the store and buy groceries.
Hi Sherry!
Your deck looks so lovely. And the table setting is stunning! I can't wait until you show us how get that wonderful gray color on wicker. It looks great.
As I have said before everything you touch turns magical.

Sherry your deck is so very pretty, and that breakfast looks delicious, even if those cantaloupes aren't real! And yes, you had me fooled!

Your table setting is so pretty and what a wonderful spot!
Be a sweetie,
Shelia 😉
The table looks so lovely, and I love your dishes. The extension of the deck is very nice. I like your urns too.
Hope you had a great weekend.
Thanks for stopping by earlier. I love your deck…just purchased a "conversation set" and I'm hoping to pull together a space as nice as what you have. I'd love to know where you got the planters that are on either side of the loveseat.
Everything is so pretty, your flowers, the table even the faux cantaloupe! Really like the candle holders. How unique.
Visiting from outdoor wed.

Sherry, this breakfast setting is so pretty. (You did fool me!) Love that willow dome. Can't wait to get directions for painting it. laurie
What a nice deck, and your table looks beautiful. I love the rattan candle holders. I've never seen those before. I'll look forward to your DIY on making wicker look gray. Lov
Wow such a cheerful setting!
The blooms are simply gorgeous.
Lovely place.
Have a great week.

So bright and beautiful outside! Perfect!
Really festive and inviting–every detail helps underscore the festive sentiment.
Hugs, Lana
How beautiful everything is! I like the weathered look of the wicker, will be interested in hearing how this is done!
Nice blog!

I love this table. The gray wicker is wonderful. Love the bottle carrier. Very Tuscan!
This is a lovely table setting. I love that carrier!

Just gorgeous, Sherry! I love the tin holder and the rattan dome and candle holders. The plates are so pretty too. Everything looks wonderful..Christine

Oh Sherry! This is gorgeous! I'm working on the garden walk Saturday, and I'm doing a tablesetting under the pergola (I wrote a big blog about it – so follow me over and check it out) and I'm looking for inspiration – of course, I knew I could come here and find tons! I'm loving the idea of those wicker plate shields and the fabric going from the width of the table, instead of the length. GENIUS! and GORGEOUS! So, don't be so surprised if you see that copied next week when I play in TT Thursday! 🙂 Can't wait! Thank you so so so so much for the inspiration! 🙂
So gorgeous! Your table should be in a magazine! Yes, I was worried that the cantaloupe halves still had their seeds — glad they're faux! What a great deck!
Sherry, your wicker items are so pretty. The gray is gorgeous. I love every detail, from the pretty yellow color, the gorgeous plates to the grapes spilling over the edge of the bowl. Such a pretty setting!
What a wonderful deck and table! I was totally fooled by the cantaloupe…they looked so real.
Your table is really pretty. I love the wicker candles and food cover. It does look antique. Your patio is beautiful.
so, so lovely Sherry! I wouldn't mind having breakfast, lunch & well dinner too here 🙂 thanks for the wonderful compliment btw!
What a lovely setting! And yes you fooled me! Thought they were real.
Your table is so pretty, I love your dishes! Mary
Oh, my goodness, I love your blog! I am going to sign up to follow, now!
Have a good night.

I love the colours you have used in this gorgeous tablescape. Everything looks so fresh and summery. I love it all!
Best wishes for a wonderful weekend,

Beautiful table setting and I love the deck extension. That cantalope looks real. Have a wonderful weekend and take care.
So pretty, love the carrier! Have a wonderful weekend!

Good Morning Sherry Sweetie…
What a beautiful share today. I love the table setting. Your silverware caddie is just beautiful. I love that it can carry out so many different styles and still fit in.
Your candlesticks are beautiful, and I love the food cover also. What a gorgeous table you have shared today. It is beautiful.
I too, love you extension on the patio. What a clever idea that is. We can always use extra seating when we eat outdoors or have a gathering.
Thank you for sharing. Please stop by and let me share my post with you.
Country hugs sweetie…Sherry
Love your deck and can relate to the 'Tuscan' table… living in Italy, we can relate. "-)
Your tablescape is great. I especially love the carrier. It is so special because it was from family. I look forward to seeing the gray wicker technique and the potted flowers are beautiful. It all looks wonderful. Thanks for sharing.
What a lovely table setting for your breakfast. I also love the additional seating area on your deck, very nice! Have a great weekend!
Hi Sherry-
Everything looks gorgeous-
and I HAVE TO HAVE a wicker dome like yours.
What a find!
Have a great weekend,

Your deck extension is fantastic…open, yet intimate. What a great idea!
Thanks for sharing your pretty deck, Sherry. I will see you tomorrow for your party for part two of mine.
GORGEOUS!!! Sherry you just give me so much inspiration and I absolutely love your deck extension. Your color pallette is so fantastic too and kind of what I would like to go towards on my own deck. Thanks so much for everything and for all of your sweet words and encouragement! 🙂
Vanessa
BEE-U-T-FUL!!!!
Love it all! The extended seating place is my favorite part! Just lovely!
