Martha's Kickoff to Summer: Get Your Backyard Ready for the Season with These Essentials Delicious Drinks Whether you're making cocktails or cooling off from the summer heat with a tall glass of water, make your drink of choice feel a little fancier by pouring it into fun glassware.

If you have some old terra-cotta pots laying around, use Martha's craft paints to transform them into original works of art. You can then use the finished products to decorate your backyard, balcony, or entryway with plants you've picked up from your local garden center. Courtesy of Macy's Versatile Bedding Many families swap out their bedding in summer, but it's a good idea to think beyond just sheets. Our favorite tip? Trade in your heavy duvet for a lighter quilt. Martha's quilts, available at Macy's, are beautiful and versatile. While they'll definitely sit pretty on your bed, we also like to use them as picnic blankets, while watching movies at night in the backyard or drive in, or even as a creative material to build a tent with the kids. Shop Now: Martha Stewart Collection Artisan Bluebell Patchwork Quilt, from $340, macys.com. Courtesy of MSWC Sips of Summer Whether you're eating dinner in the backyard or in the form of a picnic on the beach, Martha's favorite summer wines, all available through Martha Stewart Wine Co., pair nicely with seasonal fare. Best of all, receiving your wine couldn't be easier—choose the bottles you want and the delivery will arrive right on your doorstep. Grill Indoors and Out We love cookware that can pull double duty! An enameled cast iron grill pan can be used for searing steaks inside when the weather isn't so nice. And when it is outdoor grilling weather? Use your grill pan, along with the rest of Martha's grilling tools from Macy's, to whip up a delicious meal in the open air. Shop Now: Martha Stewart Collection Enameled Cast Iron 11" Grill Pan, $109.99, macys.com. Courtesy of Mixbook Wedding Ready Are you or your son or daughter tying the knot?

And if the wedding has already taken place, use her templates to create a beautiful photo album to show off all of your favorite pictures from the big day. Backyard Vacation You might not be going on vacation this year, but that doesn't mean you can't make everyday activities like hanging out by the pool feel a little more luxurious. These soft, absorbent beach towels are just the thing to have on hand when you and the kids are constantly hopping in and out of the pool, running through the sprinkler, or heading to the beach.
