House TalkN is a fun lookiloo at houses, houses, houses. It will answer pressing questions like, "When folks build a McMansion on a small lot, what are they compensating for?" or "Was the real estate agent drunk when they staged this house?" or "Why don't the Smiths' ever leave their drapes open when I am on a harmless walk-by?"

A Garden Party

A Summer Soiree!





When I think of a summer SOIREE, I either think of a nautical meets 4th of July look or a pink and green tea party look.
Always one to think outside of the box,  my friend and decorator extraordinaire planned an outdoor SOIREE with an "upscale Caribbean theme!"
Lots of options for summer fun- basketball, volleyball or my favorite, the swing!
Have you planned your outdoor SOIREE, yet?  Click here to see my widdle soiree!

  1. I'm crazy about all of these pictures - especially the starfish on the napkins and the lanterns on the stairs. An upscale Caribbean theme is a great idea for a party!

  6. Terrific pics! Makes me want to have some kind of "soiree" be it Caribbean or not! I'm going back to check out your fun-looking blog - love the line about "why aren't the drapes open when you are a harmless walker-by" - I think that all the time!...and always leave mine open for others!

  7. That is truly the epitome of a summertime soiree! Everything so relaxed and beautiful. If the weather was anywhere between 78 and 85, then it was THE perfect party! Wonderful!

  11. Garden parties definately need lots of candles and pretty lights for those guests that are having too much of a good time to go home! We have just hit winter over here in Perth so you are making me very envious of your outdoor party whilst its raining and cold here
