Easy Summer Decorating on a Budget – Summer Home Tour

Ideas for Summer Decorating on a budget!

Budget Summer Decorating Ideas!

Good morning friends! I know I have shared bits and pieces of our home decorated for the season, but today I am bringing it all together! I wanted to share how I get each room summer ready and while using some budget friendly ideas along the way! I am joining my friend Krista at The Happy Housie with a group of amazing ladies sharing their homes down below too! Welcome to those of you who are visiting from Laura at Inspiration For Moms, I am so glad to have you here!

As I was prepping for this post, I started scheming what grand floral arrangements I would put together and how I could make this post pretty/presentable… And then I remembered… Oh yea, we are on a budget! Haha. But seriously, the hubby and I are really trying to crack down on expenses and that means less trips to the store for flowers. So I thought how I could show you how I did things without a single trip to the store!

For starters, I searched the yard for any flowers I could find!

We have these bushes that are in full bloom with white fragrant flowers. I went a clipped a bunch and stuffed them in my thrifted pot…

I would have spent a pretty penny on these if I had gone to the store to buy them and honestly these were unique… Something that I could not have found so it was a win-win!

You will always find Wes or Wyatt lying around during these warmer days soaking up the sun like this guy here ;)…

Here in our family room you will notice it pretty much looks the same! And while that clearly is a budget friendly trick of mine ;)… To keep things simple and avoiding the urge to buy new things. Instead, I used my plants in place of florals. Another reason I love plants!

Because they last so very long and are worth the investment up front.

Don’t get me wrong, I will always love a vase full of pretty fresh flowers! But sometimes that isn’t practically and plants really do the trick especially during those spring/summer months.

Now into the kitchen…

I recently thrifted this extra large wooden bowl while thrift shopping. And while it isn’t in perfect condition, I love it! It holds a ton of fruit and I grabbed some rosemary from the yard to add fragrance/greenery. I have always said, that using everyday items or necessities such as produce is all the decor you need in the kitchen!

These two followed me along in each room as I photographed… lol. I also switched out the rug for summer. This one hides dirts/stains really well as I know we will have dirty feet traveling in and out often!

And that’s all for now! I am working on a good before/after post of our entire home so stay tuned for that as well as a fun DIY mirror I have been working on! Now head on over Dannyelle at Life is a Party and enjoy her Summer home tour!

Make sure to also visit these sweet friends down below as well! Thanks so much for stopping by you all!
