As the summer ends I wanted to gather my family for an Italian-themed evening in our backyard. We hadn’t really put much thought into the outdoor table as we were focusing on the interior but I wanted to change that. I spotted the Calliope outdoor dining table from Article and fell in L-O-V-E.

It is a statement table and serves as the perfect base for my special tableware that I’ve collected and sourced over the years from Guatemala, and various thrift stores.

I hope this inspires you to reimagine your outdoor space and gather your friends or family for a special Al Fresco night at home.
