I’m so excited to be joining some very talented blogging friends for a Late Summer Tablescape Blog Hop. I’m kicking off today’s line up! You can find the full list of all participating at the bottom of this post. You won’t want to miss any of the inspiration!
A big thank you to Chloe from Celebrate & Decorate for organizing all the inspiration!! I was so excited to get to meet Chloe in person this Summer at the Haven blogging conference in Atlanta!
If this is your first visit to White Arrows Home, I’m so glad you are here! Welcome to our full log cabin, lakeside home in The Northwoods of Wisconsin. I’m a lover of vintage finds, antique treasures and all things plaid!
We just completed our backyard patio project and this post is the first peek at the finished space!
I started my tablescape with a blue and white, quilt style throw I found at a flea market. When I first saw it, I instantly thought that I wanted to use it on a table.
The lantern I keep in the middle of the table is from Walmart. I love the nautical look of them. My galvanized chargers are from Hobby Lobby.
I love the pop of bright color the one sunflower plant gives!
My vintage red cooler is a favorite find!
Flavored waters in pretty bottles make an easy and special drink on the table.
I’m always on the hunt for inexpensive vintage dishes like these flower plates.
If you are following the hop in order you are heading over to Living With Thanksgiving next. Enjoy Bonnie’s beautiful tour! The full list of blogs is at the bottom of this post.

Kristen, Your attractive throw has arrows and is so fitting with the name of your blog. It is a striking focal point.
I love your sweet vintage dishes and how you paired them with zinc chargers. I’ve my eye on those chargers for a while now.
Your patio is so inviting and fun with your vintage treasures scattered about.
It is nice to blog hop with you today! Hope it is cooler in Wisconson than it is in Alabama! Happy Tuesday!
Hi Bonnie! It is cooler today. It rained all night and took away the humidity! I’m actually sitting under a blanket right now. So fun to hop with you! Thanks for your sweet message on my table!!
Kristin, your new backyard space looks like an oasis for true relaxation!! great job! I love all the vintage pieces you uae like your cola cooler and your picnic basket, and now your throw!! They’re perfect for your northern woodsy retreat. It looks like a place i would want to vacation at???? love the photo of you and chloe too!????????
Thanks so much Ann! Minocqua, where I live is a very popular vacation spot! Come visit!
Kristen, what a great space, and I’m in love with it! I can see much styling going on out there in the future with your flair for all things vintage. That throw you started with in today’s tablescape immediately says White Arrows Home! Great accessories, and lots of fun. Congrats on the completion of your outdoor project.
What a treat to be able to meet Chloe at Haven, lucky you.
Hi Rita!! We are having so much fun out there! We threw our first party and the space worked so well! It’s fun to see our ideas become reality!
Kristen!
Your tablescapes is perfect for these late summer days!
That throw you found is perfect! And those plates! YES!
HAPPY Tuesday
Thanks so much Nancy! I thought it was interesting that when I saw the throw, my first thought was to use it on the table!
Hi Kristen,
My fellow Wisconsinite! I am so happy to hear that we both are from the same lovely state. Although we are not in the Northwoods, we enjoy the simple pleasures of being among the many farms and but a short drive to Green bay. I am amazed at your vintage finds to make your backyard summer tablescape a beautiful collection and a lovely carefree setting. I love the gorgeous quilt. It makes for a perfect tablecloth and works beautifully with the steel lantern and chargers. The blue plaid vintage basket stole my heart. It makes me yearn for those more simple days. Enjoy the rest of your summer in charming Wisconsin.
How fun that you are from Wisconsin too!! I love that area of the state by Green Bay!! Thanks for your sweet message! Love meeting fellow vintage lovers!!
Kristen, your patio is just beautiful. You and your family are going to enjoy this space so much. I love the quilt/throw, so perfect for your Alfresco table. The sweet floral dishes give it a little feminine touch. I know it was a joy for you and Chloe to meet up at Haven. It is a pleasure to blog hop with you this week.
Thanks Pam! It was so fun to meet Chloe. It’s a dream come true to meet on line friends in person! Thanks for you sweet compliments!
What a lovely patio space to dine alfresco and enjoy your Wisconsin summer! I love all your vintage decor and your table welcomes me to sit and linger! The sunflowers are wonderful and it’s all perfectly charming!

You new patio is such a lovely space for enjoying spending time with family and friends before summer fades away. Using a throw for a tablecloth is brilliant, one of my favorite tricks, too! Of course your vintage cooler is one of my favorite accents! Thank you for joining in the hop and sharing your table styling talents!

What a wonderful setting and charming tablescape! The quilt was a clever idea for the tablecovering too. I love cucumber flavor and scent and am salivating for the bottled sparkling water!
Thanks so much Debbee! I love cucumber too, it’s so refreshing!
Your patio area is lovely. A perfect backdrop for your sweet table. The plates are so pretty. A c very creative use of the quilt to cover your table. Dining alfresco is the best. A pleasure to join you on this fun tablescape blog hop. P.S. I am having a difficult time seeing your small font.

Hi Kristin, I’m a lake dweller and also a lover of vintage finds, antique treasures and all things plaid…maybe we were separated at birth? 😉 I’m wild about your vintage wheelbarrow planter along with your cooler and wonderful table. The sweet floral plates are perfectly served up on your galvanized charger and quilt pattern throw. Happy to meet you and blog hop with you this week. ♥
Thanks so much Mary! I’ve long been a fan of your beautiful blog and it’s an honor to be on this tour with you!
What a beautiful setting for a late summer dinner! the throw table covering is a great idea and compliments the delicate floral plates. I am partial to pretty tea cups and yours are lovely! also love the pop of green on the soda labels! You have me dreaming of a leisurely evening on the patio 🙂 I have my fingers crossed that I will be able to get to Haven next year. hope to see you there 🙂
You’ve definitely captured the vintage feel in this beautifully styled table. The pops of color from the flowers and the cooler are a nice treat. I’ve eyed those galvanized chargers for a long time and think I may have to give in and buy them. you’ve created a relaxing space in your backyard and I hope you have many more nice days to enjoy it.
Thank you so much! I have loved those chargers and found I use them so often all year long!!
Hi Kristen! Your new patio looks great! I’m wild about your vintage finds scattered about the space. The vintage wheelbarrow planter makes my heart sing! I love your sweet vintage floral plates atop the galvanized chargers, and Your throw definitely made the perfect tablecloth. It’s so cool to see the view of the lake through the trees! It was so nice to meet you at Haven! Enjoy the rest of your summer!
Your vintage floral plates stole my heart! Your table on the patio surrounded by flowers is so inviting. I can envision sitting and chatting as the sun goes down in late summer. Love the creative table cover!
Thank you so much Shirley! Fun to hope with you!
