Sweet Summertime Decorating | Fresh Ideas for Inside & Out

Summertime Decorating Ideas to Wow!

Hip Hip Hooray! At long last it looks like summer is finally upon us. Let the festivities begin! Well, not quite yet. First, we need to get our spaces looking tip top summer fresh. That means time for summertime decorating:  we need to get to work inside and out. If you’re anything like Jodie and me you’ve had your spring decor out since early February. It’s time for a change. No more bunnies, no more eggs. It’s time to pull out your summer pillows, your summer plants, maybe even your summer rugs.

Of course it’s also definitely time to get your front porch and other outdoor spaces looking their best.  Work at my house always begins with some serious outdoor cleaning, i.e. powerwashing and general maintenance. I look to see the condition of everything. Do I need a new rug, new pillows? How are my planters doing? I assess everything that is there and take stock. Next, I create a plan for what to replace and what to add. In this stage I usually choose a color scheme. Then I browse online and/or head to the store for inspiration and to purchase.

My favorite part is the final step:  arranging. I love the creative process of setting it all up. Seeing it all come together for a fresh new look makes it all worthwhile. Summertime decorating doesn’t have to be pricey or complicated. Focus on the many months of enjoyment you’ll have. With a little bit of effort and the right inspiration you’ll soon be ready to greet visitors and simply enjoy.

Ashley’s Feature

Michelle from Thistle Key Lane shared this beautiful Summer Tablescape. All the details are so fun! I love the check and check out how she wrapped those dinner rolls!

Janine’s Feature

Deb’s (DebbeesBuzz.com) sailing theme is a fantastic summer wreath that even has a miniature sailboat attached. I’m confident you’ll love it if you are looking for some fun summer outdoor wreaths.

 

 

This summer wreath project is such a fun one. I created the flowers out of felt, so the cost of this wreath is super cheap. It only has a small investment of time but well worth the effort.
