Small Drink Beverage Table Accent

Looking for outdoor entertaining ideas? Get ready for outdoor entertaining with a charming vintage side table transformed into a drink and outdoor beverage table.

I’ve wanted to put together the cutest little outdoor beverage table all summer. But we’ve just had way too much rain until now. The sun is shining, the rain is gone, and the humidity has broken.

So, I decided to go thrifting in our attic to see what I could share with you this week for Thrifting with the Gals.

Antique Side Beverage Table

There, I remembered this Charming Antique Side Table and Chairs for Two I found last fall. I thought decorating it outdoors as a beverage table station would be so fun.

Flavored Water Station

I started by making a jug of flavored water. Have you ever made flavored water? Cocktail tables are a perfect spot for flavored water stations.

I made this flavored water for my outdoor beverage table using what I had on hand: mint and cucumbers from our small backyard container garden and a handful of raspberries and blueberries. It’s so good!

Vintage Beverage Table Dishware

My mother’s little glass bowl filled with ice and sterling silver spoon next to the flavored water dispenser is just the cutest. Clink, clink into the glass.

I also added a bowl of strawberries and a few thrifted blue and white bowls to accompany the flavored water for visiting guests. It was a perfect spot!

Flower Bouquet

Our neighbor has the most beautiful limelight hydrangea tree here in Maine. I snagged a few of the branches and decorated them in a thrifted tin vase.

And check out more of this table from last winter decorated as a cozy fireside table and for coffee and with my mother’s Russian china pattern.

There’s just something about bringing an indoor table outdoors. Doesn’t it feel cozy, warming, and inviting as an outdoor beverage table? A wonderful functional addition.

Beverage Table Glassware

As the temperatures are cooling here in late August, I thought the colored glassware would be perfect. The amethyst and amber colors pair so well together.

The amber glasses were also my mother’s, and I recently thrifted the amethyst glasses. Because it’s all about the glass:)

Here, I moved the cutest outdoor beverage table next to the picket fence in our backyard. This is as close to gardens as we have here in Maine right now.

At some point, we will add more landscaping that is easy for us to maintain.

The birdhouses and benches beyond the picket fence were all made by my father over the years. You may enjoy seeing more in the post, Adored One-of-a-Kind Handmade Birdhouse Restored.
