There’s something so special about late-summer entertaining—the golden light, warm evenings, and any excuse to gather outside with friends and good food. I created this mood board with effortless outdoor gatherings in mind.

If I could bottle up the feeling of summer and sprinkle it around the house year-round, I would. I love everything about this season—the longer days, the warm evenings, the way life feels just a little bit slower and sweeter.
