My loggia reveal and a giveaway!


Hello and happy Wednesday evening. I just couldn't wait to post this. OK first I want to preface this by saying this is not totally done. We had ordered lanterns but found out two weeks ago they are now out of stock until August. The search has resumed and I think we found a good one that is in stock so hopefully within the next few weeks we will have two beautiful lanterns gracing this space. Besides planters, pillows and other odds and ends, it is just about done. BUT the exciting thing is I got my outdoor furniture for the loggia. We are still short two chairs which are due in any day but I was soooo excited I just had to share! I LOVE this furniture, thank you Lane Venture for making it (you should check their website, their things are beautiful with a capital B!

So pardon my amateur photos but you get the idea, I even set up my table with all the different patterns of the melamine dinnerware and I had such fun. I have to say I haven't been this excited over a new product as I am this, to be able to call outdoor plastic dinnerware exquisite is really saying something but it is! So enough of my gabbing...have a look!


Isn't it beautiful!
Can you say L O V E!!!!!!!!!

The upholstery is done with Sunbrella...I chose neutral so I could change the look with pillows
Yes, it is as comfortable as it looks......
Love the big square coffee table
And matching end tables
Here is the table all set up.......



 This is the Provence pattern......


 Don't you just love the wicker serving pieces and how much do those plastic glasses look like glass!


 Love this set!







And the beautiful Amalfi.......







And the Provence yellow.......






I like the idea of mixing and matching patterns.....


I like the way the blue glassware looks......



And finally the Laguna......



These are the basketweave serving pieces that are about to be added, they come in 5 sizes and are beautiful for any outdoor table....just got them in!



Well...what do you think? You know those wonderful little wicker spreaders in the last picture? Well I am giving away a set as a giveaway. They are sooo pretty! And wonderful for any summer table. In addition I have the carving set, salad set, serving spoons, spatula and pierced fork all in this same wonderful pattern. Just got them in and they will soon be added to the online shop. If you want to be eligible, just visit my online tabletop shop and tell me your favorite item. I will announce a winner on Saturday morning. Click here to visit. (Remember anonymous..you must include a first name and last name initial in the body of your comment)

Thanks for stopping in...you know i had to share this and just couldn't wait!! Thanks for stopping in and hope the sun is shining where you are. At last it feels like spring here!!

  4. Heavens to betsy, I cannot imagine a more beautiful porch than that. I think I am in love. The furniture is so gorgeous. I love the color of the wicker. I think Lane Venture makes a beautiful product and those melamine dinnerware pieces are amazing, they look just like Italian pottery.

    Tina, this was such a visual feast. I am going to back up and look again. Please put my name in the running for the great wicker spreaders. What a great item for summer.

  6. Kinda speechless over the beauty that is pouring off this page. AMAZING.
    You have achieved a perfect loggia, Tina. Just incredible, what a great space to enjoy alone or for entertaining. I love the set ups! I want the entire Provence collection, it is so beautiful.

    Thanks for the giveaway, love those spreaders. Will you also be selling the wicker and porcelain serving pieces? They are beautiful. Loved this!

  7. Tina, your logia is amazing beyond words, you are going to enjoy that area so much this summer especially with the way you love to entertain, what a perfect setting. I loved the amalfi and the laguna, hard to choose between the two patterns. The serving pieces, the divided tray and the serving tray are two of my favorite pieces, until I saw the new basket surround pieces you are going to carry, those are fantastic. I love a good basket!! Fun giveaway, thanks for a chance to win!

  14. Your loggia looks fabulous, Tina. I have a Lane Ventura double chaise on my lanai and I love it...so does my dog, Bella. All the new tabletop items in your shop are lovely but, forced to chose just one, I would pick the Provence yellow tray. It is perfect for outdoor entertaining.
    Best...Victoria
