Summer House Styling

I've been spending a lot of time at home this summer

and I've really enjoyed it!

So today I thought I'd share some of my favorite 

Summer Styling 

that's made my heart happy to see

and have

 changed simple moments into memories!

I always enjoy using 

fresh produce

 in my

Seasonal Styling

And of course fresh flowers!

My cutting planter has been thriving!

Using shells in unexpected ways is always 

a summer favorite.

My orchids that I bought in April

will just about make it fully flowering until the end of summer.

Which is quite the floral bang for my buck.

Of course I brought in all my blue and white

which always feels cool and calm in the hot summer months.

Blue and white makes it into many of my summer outfits

for the same reason.

Right now my daisies are in full bloom!

They are such a hearty, happy  perineal.

My backyard dahlias are just start to bloom.

Last year we had blooms until the end of November!

My green fern centerpiece is still going strong!

One of my favorites this summer

Casual Family Dinners 

in the Backyard

Another favorite of mine

and one of the reasons I've enjoyed time at home

as much as I have

my newest inflatable pool!

I brought out my rattan bar cart from the front courtyard

to act as a drink station

and 

towel holder.

My fringed beach umbrella completed the vignette!

I started with my little mini dip from last summer.

This small pool also brought me so much joy!

Now I have a pool big enough to float!

Who knew a simple $30 inflating pool could bring me so much happiness!

And I've even been able to share my pools with 

my very favorite littles!

That's some of my favorite 

Summer Stying 

for my little

Summer House!

I'd love to hear what styling you've been up to

whether you are in summer or winter!

As always my friends

I wish you love and joy

as you style your life

Simple Summer Decor

With summer officially here

I thought I would share my 

Simple Summer Decor

I keep my decor mainly neutral 

 because I love the 

Visual Calmness

that comes with a neutral palette.

A secondary benefit decorating with neutrals

is that it makes

Seasonal Fluffing 

so easy!!

I used to make a big production of my seasonal changes.

Over the past few years

I have gotten it down to a simpler personal formula

(excluding Christmas which is still a happy production). 

I have been

changing out my textiles and pillows

seasonally for years

I think it's one of the reasons

I have always enjoyed our small home.

With simple updates I have been able to keep my 

Decor Fresh and Interesting.

I have been loving my textured cream pillow collection 

so much recently

I decided to just drop in a bit of

blue and cream

to celebrate

 the

Summer Season

Blue and Cream for summer

also makes for the easiest backdrop for 

The Fourth of July

Changing my flowers every couple of weeks 

also keeps things fresh and beautiful.

I have even my 

florals down to a quick formula.

I just do flowers on my living room

and 

dining room tables.

I simply work them into my 

Candle Centerpieces

with three small ceramic vases

in the living room

and 

one vase in the dining room.

This makes doing flowers 

not only quicker

but less expensive

because it doesn't take much to make an impact 

this way.

I get so much joy coming home to 

fresh flowers

or even just walking by them.

I see it as

.Visual Gratitude

The beauty of the flowers

remind me how grateful I am

to live in our little home

that we have had the privilege

to 

Style and Design.

Gratitude and Beauty

always help my 

Mental Health!

For the living room

just dropping in

 three blue and cream pillows

a Turkish towel as a table runner

and 

a blue vintage fire screen

was enough for me to say

Happy Summer!

 

In the 

dining room

 my centerpiece

 is  set up with a 

multitude of candles

on driftwood with an air plant

so I just change out the 

one vase of flowers.

I chose a vase with a narrow opening

so i don't have to use many flowers

and 

changing them out is so quick and easy.

I carried the 

blue and cream decor

to the dining room table

with a gorgeous

hand woven wool rug

as a tablecloth.

Adding just one blue oil painting to my shelves

even further brings in my summer vibes.

Simply adding

 just one blue pillow

 into the textured neutral collection of pillows

carries my

 blue and beige

Summer Theme

into our media room.

In the 

courtyard

a few more 

pillows and textiles

bring the 

 summer theme outside.

Same with the front terrace.

A few pops of color in a neutral scheme

 sets the tone so easily.

The same in the

 backyard

starting with some 

blue floor cushions

on my rug.

I added 

a ginger jar 

to one of my large 

succulent planters

I also dropped in some 

large shells

to round out my 

Summer Decor.

I just really love how

 a simple 

monochromatic decor scheme

can adapt

 so effortlessly for

Seasonal Decor.

In the backyard I also keep things 

visually calm

with all white flower palette.

 

I recently converted our 

backyard fire pit

into a 

breakfast table

for the summer

since we never use this one in the summer.

I simply added a table top 

and 

draped it with 

blue and white tablecloths.

In the summer

I also pull out my blue and white dishes

and 

add them to my cream and white sets.

I can't tell you how much

simple pleasure and joy

these 

simple Summer additions

bring me.

They make my everyday

so much more of 

a Celebration of the Season.

Well there you have it 

how some 

Quick and simple

 Summer Additions 

can help you 

freshen your

Summer Decor.

What ways do you celebrate 

the summer season

at your home?

I'd love to hear!

As always my friends

I wish you love and joy

as you style your life
