Picnic Tables Make a Splash – of Color!

By: Kathy Moran Colors play important roles in our lives. So powerful are they, that each one has its own special meaning, and many are used universally to represent and convey specific feelings and ideas. Colors influence our moods. They are used, symbolically, to warn, welcome, comfort, excite, soothe, and surrender. They have worked their way into the language, spawning clichés that express rage (I’m seeing red!), envy (The green-eyed monster reared its ugly head.), sadness (I’m feeling blue.), cowardice (Yer yella!), and more. When we decorate our homes, no matter the room, or the style, material, size, or shape of any particular object in it, our satisfaction with the result usually comes down to color. This includes the inside and outside, from the backyard picnic table, to the kitchen sink. Many of our celebrations are based on color. Some of the most important events have theme colors, and people spend hours, days, or weeks, searching for accessories to match or complement them. Colors are also significant to parties that don’t require nearly as much planning. No matter what the occasion, or how merry the atmosphere, splashes of vivid color here and there will certainly add to the festivity. One of the reasons that balloons are so popular is that, like colorful bubbles bobbing on waves of excitement, they increase the effervescence of any affair. Another popular way to brighten things up is to use colorful tablecloths and napkins, and, especially if it’s an outdoor gathering, multi-colored plastic plates and utensils. In fact, in the not-too-distant past, for your picnic table parties, a lot of the color was supplied by the napery. Back then, there weren’t many color choices for picnic tables, except the aluminum ones, which were notorious for being flimsy, unreliable, quick to rust, and unlikely to last more than a few years. Fortunately, that situation has been rapidly changing of late, thanks, in large part, to AllPicnicTables.com. Besides the great strides they have made in improving the quality and durability of the Great American Picnic Table, this company has quietly, but persistently, been going about the business of making it more colorful. Their efforts over the past few years have produced an impressive palette of picnic table colors that will knock your eyes out! The addition of these brilliant colors is not limited to their aluminum picnic tables, which, by the way, bear little resemblance to their frail ancestors. AllPicnicTables.com has everlasting aluminum tables, in ten colors, that will never break, bend, rust, chip, or peel, even if they’re left outside all year long. Their nearly-indestructible Polywood tables, which look incredibly like real wood, are also made in a rainbow of colors, as are their commercial-quality, thermoplastic-coated steel picnic tables. Another truly exciting development is that even their traditional Select Pine tables are now available in 27 spectacular colors! Naturally, AllPicnicTables.com also has gorgeous, classic wood picnic tables, as well as dining sets, from rustic to elegant, in sizes, shapes, and materials, to fit any porch, patio, gazebo, deck, décor, and budget. You can even have a table customized. To contact a design consultant, or a customer service representative, call 1-888-293-2339, or e-mail contact@allpicnictables.com.
