End Of Summer Natural Home Styling

I could feel the end of summer 

in the morning light today

slipping ever closer to my beloved fall.

Every since my  childhood school days

it is fall that  always feels 

so filled with fresh  promises of new beginnings.

But before I drift off into Autumn's glow

I want to make sure 

I intentionally savor 

summer's last weeks.

For me one of the easiest ways to help savor 

whatever season is upon me

is to bring 

natural style elements into my decor.

Earlier this summer

it was a huge basket of green apples and lilies.

Last month it was stunning sunflowers 

making dramatic appearances.

This August I have kept my palette neutral

with just the addition of natural green elements

bringing a  color  punch to my textured creams

that keep the space feeling calm and open.

I am  still savoring  my found driftwood

topped with shells filled with limes.

Lighting my candles with coffee

every  morning

gives me time to enjoy these monochromatic elements

and

reflect on the morning light.

I have recently added this

three box succulent planter

to my  seasonal styling arsenal.

Handmade of blackened steel

by 

Nine Iron Designs.

You can find it

 here

The size and dimension

make it a perfect piece for some of  my quick seasonal styling.

When I found these chartreuse miniature pears at 

Trader Joe's

I new that color would work perfectly into my

End of Summer Styling

and

this blackened steel piece

would highlight them ever so stylishly!

Raising  simple pears

to still life status!

This is a great example of a styling piece

that can quickly adapt for every season.

I already have some beautiful fall ideas in the woks!

Silver bowls are also a wonderfully easy way

to bring in natural seasonal elements 

into your rooms.

Adding limes to this gorgeous cake stand

enabled me to bring my pop of natural green

onto our bar.

Small orchids in miniature ceramic buckets

are another easy pop of 

late summer color.

In the backyard

a soapstone dish is topped with a shell

for a simple nod to our coastal lifestyle.

I added a flat of white flowers to 

my extra large ceramic bowl that I had a stand made to raise it to 

focal point status.

It brings a garden element up close for 

an entertaining focal point.

Driftwood was notched out and planted with succulents …

for an easy and durable

backyard living room  centerpiece.

Last week my white flowers were exhausted

and 

I was wondering what to replace them with …

when ...

My husband brought home a huge bag of homegrown lemons

and 

presto

in an instant 

a newly revived centerpiece!

And lastly

my planting of  succulents in containers

the last two years

in the courtyard and back

are  all doing wonderfully.

The succulents are hearty garden players

and

when they out grow one space

I simply rework them into new arrangements.

This means most of my garden is already in place

not only for the

 end of summer styling

but

already poised to greet fall's arrival!

For me  seasonal home styling is always 

the best

when fluffing a new season

can be as simple as a trip to the market

or

a walk on the beach!

As always my friends

I wish you love and joy

as you style your life
