Welcome to Red Couch Recipes and to my Watermelon Tablescape! What says summer more than WATERMELONS? They are bright, red, fun, and juicy -- all these things describe summer.
I set the table on the deck where we eat almost every day.
I filled the watermelon pitcher with some Barberry bush branches.
Here's a full table view.
And another...I love how the black and white napkins add some "pop" to this table.
Are you ready for some refreshing watermelon dessert. Trust me, it's tasty, cool, and refreshing. My children and I ate dessert before dinner tonight.
See, we didn't eat them all, we saved you some.
Thanks for dropping by (or drooping if you are hot) my Red Couch where it is rainy and cool today in the high desert.

YOU STINKER! You drove right past my home and didn't stop?! I might have looked like crap and you would have not wanted me to be your blog friend but hey! LOL No, I know...Yes we have hiked that hike a few times and jumped off the falls, it is beautiful. This whole country is God's special little secret I think. Come buy our house...I wish a family would all go together and buy it to share..or a group of friends. It could be an awesome B&B too or a healing retreat...send buyers please! We need to get Ron retired and we want to go serve in the SG temple and go on some missions, that is why it's for sale. :D
That's a pretty table! We have watermelon once a summer and we always ask ourselves why we don't have it more often.
Lovin' your cute watermelon table Joni! The napkins are a fun pop of color too. I've only picked up one watermelon so far this summer... think I'll get one for this weekend:@)
This is so cute, right on down to the dessert. I hope you're going to show us how to do it.
I love the choice of the black and white napkins with this. I wouldn't have thought of it, but they are perfect.
I did a watermelon tablescape a few weeks ago and had great fun with it, so I couldn't wait to see yours! You did an amazing job! I think watermelon says "summer" in such a big way! What a happy, delicious fruit. And what a charming table!
Beautiful! I love everything and ghat dessert looks delicious. Is it layered sherbet sprinkled with chocolate chips? How clever!
I'd love to know how you made that refreshing dessert. The tablescape is charming.
The watermelons are sooo lovely.
Thank you for sharing
Lots of Love,

Delightful summer tablescape. Thank you for sharing your charming design. Cherry Kay
What a fun table. That watermelon pitcher is great. Can you believe for years and years I didn't like watermelon? Now I love it. The whole table is delightful, and I would love to start with dessert first too!
Watermelons are the perfect summertime fruit to base a tablescape on and you've captured the colour and fun terrifically! Love the dishes and the centerpiece you created using the pitcher. Just looking at that dessert makes me feel refreshed!
