Labor Day is the perfect time to open up your kitchen for a day (or weekend!) of entertaining. That means cooking crowd-pleasing recipes and freshening up your kitchen design with a cheerful, welcoming look. Pulling from delicious—and deliciously colorful—recipes around the Web, we've come up with a summer party menu just for you. Even better, they're paired with gorgeous kitchen photos inspired by these dishes. From a few new accessories to a full-on paint job, steal these kitchen ideas (and recipes)—just in time to say goodbye to sweet, sweet summer.
