Have another round? No, I mean drinks!
Blog Guy, I need some of your great advice on home entertaining.

They've combined a contemporary sofa with traditional rugs to create a relaxed mood. I admire their use of a push broom as what we decorators call an "objet..."
Judging from the fact that one of those guys looks like he's picking his nose, they've succeeded in creating a very homey feel.
Ewwww! So who else does a good job of outdoor protest decorating?
These protesters in Madrid. See the elegant look they've achieved here with a leather Chesterfield sofa.
