Every summer I get the urge to shake up
my interiors, you know, make them lighter,
brighter, a little fresher. And I figure a lot
of you probably feel the same way.
With that in mind we begin ~
Summertime Style
Each blog will concentrate on one design style and
share little tips on how to add a little summertime fun
to everything from New England Traditional
to Mid-Century Modern.
First up ~ Coastal Country
because what says summer more than the
water and sand of the beach.
We love these creamy walls that ground the clear
Red, Whites and Blues of the pillows that
seem to be asking for someone to come curl up
with a good summer book.
To get the look above try a soft yellow paint like
Benjamin Moore's "You are my sunshine".
It is soft and mellow, just how you want to
feel in the summer!

A painted end table is a perfect way to lighten
the mood of a living space. Don't have one?
Pick a Saturday, pack up the family and visit a
local flea market or fair and you have a
family project for the weekend.
Kids love wandering around, poking
through stuff and family adventures
are what summertime is all about!
Add some new textiles to your room.
Stripes, checks or lattice pattern,
it doesn't matter as long as it is
BOLD!

The FEED USA 100 Bag is a patriotic way to
add to your country decor. By day,
it is the perfect tote for everything from
vegetables from your farmer's market to
towels and suntan lotion needed at the beach.
Once home, it keeps everyday clutter
organized and out of the way.
Each purchase provides 100 meals to Americans.

County living is all about living with
the things you love and sharing
them with those around you. If you are
just starting out, here are some of our
favorite finds to help you add a
little country fun to your home....
RED
The clean lines of a Fiesta pitcher
can be mixed with almost any design style so
it is the perfect choice to add a little
country to your space.
Red not your color? Check out your local
department store for a wide
variety of color options.
WHITE
Summertime is all about relaxing weekends.
No matter where you spend yours
be it city, suburbs or countryside, a leisurely
breakfast around the kitchen table
starts the day off right.
These egg cups from cheftools.com
guarantee smiling faces around your table.
