PARTY DETAILS - BOHO DECOR AND BLUE MOON COCKTAILS

As you saw last week, my Super Moon Party decor is taking on more of a Boho vibe vs a down home southern look.  If you know me, this makes perfect sense.  Here are a few things I picked up over the weekend:

IKAT Table Runners from Anthropologie

Anthropologie Embroidered Bhangra Pillow and Target Striped Pouf to add to the Boho Screened Porch

There will be two bar stations. One for the Moonshine Tasting and the other for beer, wine and the signature party cocktail:  The Blue Moon.  I'm starting to think my napkins will clash with the cocktail.....is that just insane that I'm worried about my napkins coordinating with the cocktail?  They had blue/green IKAT so maybe I'll do a quick switch out.  Yes I'm a FREAK!

BOHO SCREENED PORCH

As part of the party prep, I'm giving our screened-in porch a makeover.  This screened in area is actually a detached structure from our house that has a small screened-in area that faces the lake and a potting shed/tackle room on the street side.  Here is picture of the area prior to owning the house.

When we moved in, I added two white IKEA SVINGA chairs on the either side of the doorway:

and I filled the room with our Pottery Barn Chesapeake Modular Sectional:

For parties, I usually take the furniture out and set up food tables inside the protected screened area but because we are having a food truck for this event, I decided this was a perfect time to give the room a new look.  I decided to go with a bohemian vibe after finding some wonderful orange and hot pink crewel pillows at HomeGoods.  I mixed them with outdoor Threshold pillows from Target.  I'm also pulling from my upcoming sale inventory by using the Vintage Wicker Peacock chair, the gold bamboo mirror and cream elephant stool.  For lighting, I found a vintage swag light at an estate sale last weekend that adds a cool vibe partnered with your basic outdoor globe lighting.

Here is the work in progress. I still need to add some finishing touches but it is coming together.  It's not a large space but I think that adds to the coziness.  It definitely takes on a lounge vibe once the sun goes down!
