AH ..... SUMMER! 11 IDEAS TO WHILE AWAY THE WARMER DAYS.
AH ..... SUMMER! 11 IDEAS TO WHILE AWAY THE WARMER DAYS.
SPRUCE UP YOUR PORCH AND BRING TABLES OUTDOORS, ADD PILLOWS AND POTS OF GREENERY.
ADD WICKER WITH CUSHY CUSHIONS.
FOR A LAZY DAY ON THE PORCH READ A GOOD BOOK SUCH AS DECORATING BOOKS!
LISTEN TO MUSIC.
PLAY AN OLD GAME: SCRABBLE( OF WHICH I AM THE CHAMP!) AUTHORS ,OLD MAID, EVEN SOLITAIRE.
SIT ON THE PORCH AND PLAY I SPY OR PICK A COLOR OF A CAR AND SEE WHO GETS TO 20 FIRST.
PITCH A TENT AND HAVE A PARTY! THIS IS NOT YOUR BROTHERS TENT LOL
USE YOUR FAVORITE COLLECTIONS, SUCH AS VINTAGE CLOTHS, MISMATCHED SILVER AND GLASSWARE IN COLORFUL SHADES OF SUMMER TO HOST A BARBECUE.
PACK A BASKET AND GO ON A PICNIC.
VISIT A FARMERS MARKET, THEN GO ON A PICNIC!
GO TO A FLEA MARKET AND HUNT FOR:
VINTAGE TEA TOWELS, SMALL TABLES, TABLEWARE, GALVANIZED TUBS AND FLOWERPOTS.
THINGS I LOVE ABOUT SUMMER OUTDOORS:
* PICNICS BY A STREAM.
* A POOL, BUT IF AT ALL POSSIBLE THE OCEAN.
* FRESH PICKED TOMATOES.
* FLIP- FLOPS.
* PLANNING A WALKING VACATION IN FRANCE, EVEN IF YOU'RE NOT GOING!
CREATE A STRESS-FREE SUMMER MOOD WITH COLORS AND PRINTS INSPIRED BY NATURE BY FOCUSING ON THREE AREAS IN YOUR HOME: LIVING ROOM, BEDROOM AND DINING ROOM. MOST CHANGES CAN BE MADE IN A DAY OR TWO.
* BALANCE DARK MATERIALS WITH LIGHT OR WHITE PIECES.
* USE THROW PILLOWS WITH A HINT OF COLOR.
*GET A GARDEN INSPIRED LOOK WITH A FERN MOTIF SUCH AS PUTTING FERN FRONDS UNDER A GLASS FRAME AND HANGING SEVERAL TOGETHER.
* USE AN ACCENT RUG WITH A FERN OR PALM TREE THEME.
AND REMEMBER IN SUMMER YOUR EXTRA ROOM IS THE PORCH
,SO TO CONVERT IT INTO A TROPICAL OASIS ADD SEATING SUCH AS WICKER AND COLORFUL PILLOWS, PLACEMATS AND STRINGS OF BRIGHT COLORED LIGHTS.
