Close Quarters Mullins recommends a narrow table for outdoor dining, so she brought in this vintage find from the Bay Area’s Elsie Green (elsiegreen.com). “It keeps things intimate,” she says, plus it makes passing plates easier. CB2’s Victory Pendant Lights ($199; cb2.com), rustproof with a light industrial feel, encourage post-dinner chats well into the night. Mullins also installed inconspicuous outlets, so DuPree could work on her laptop without running out of juice.
