Designing and creating on a simple budget.

Seasonal Touches of Summer Throughout our Home

Seasonal Touches of Summer Throughout our Home

Hello and I am so glad to have you to our home friends! Welcome to those of you who are visiting from Lory at Designthusiasm. Lory has such elegant taste and I always leave her posts inspired! I have been sharing snippets of our humble abode decorated with seasonal touches of summer and today I am finishing off the indoors here with a couple more spaces I have not shared before (one that is still in the process of an update too). I am joining sweet Kristi from The Happy Housie as part of the Seasonal Simplicity Home Tours.

I am kicking things off in our kitchen which is still in the middle of some updates. I can’t wait to share the entire space with you… Until then I’ll start here for now!

I’ve always got a couple helpers along the way ;). Summer decor for me is as simple as a bouquet of fresh flowers.

These happen to be an inexpensive bunch from Trader Joes. Less than ten dollars and they fill a vase perfectly!

Here you can see a peek of a couple of the new additions in our kitchen…

A pair of new pendants and some barstools from Wayfair. Again, this is a work in progress so you will see the island base shelf still needs staining. I also plan to cover these stools with some custom linen slips, so stay tuned!

As you head to the front of our home you will see our more formal Living Room…

I freshened the space with a faux fern (I have the hardest time keeping real ferns alive, haha)!

I have kept things monochromatic in here with lots of black and white but I love how the fresh greens really bring life to the space.

Here are above are some more faux branches. Easy, simple and requires little arranging!

Summer may mean lighter and brighter due to the warmer nature of the season, but it definitely does not mean less texture!

I can’t resist texture throughout all of our spaces. It just makes everything that much more interesting, no matter the season!

And before I send you on to the rest of the tours, here is a glimpse of our other spaces throughout our home…

    Your house is so pretty and filled with light! I wonder if you would tell me where the blue rug in your dining room is from?

We added the easiest DIY fountain to this area (sh We added the easiest DIY fountain to this area (shared it in stories today) and I can’t tell you enough how nice it is to hear that pretty little sound 🎵 ... I love wind chimes, chirping birds and dripping fountains... So you can imagine how fun it has been to be inside with the windows open and hearing all if those noises at once 💕. This could be a project that would be easily done with inexpensive pieces and makes a big impact for your outdoor space. Speaking of outdoor spaces, I shared ours all ready for summer up on the blog along with my friends. Come check it out if you need some easy ideas!
One bathroom for 4 people can be tricky... 🤪 Bu One bathroom for 4 people can be tricky... 🤪 But in stories I am sharing some tips and tricks for storage in a small bathroom like ours! I am talking about how we use drawers, but try to keep things pretty/functional at the same time... Come check it out and see how we think outside the box when it comes to this space! One of my new favorite tips comes from these 100% Cotton Turkish towels we were gifted from @theloomia! Not only are they pretty, they are large, but save space at the same time... You’ll have to go see what I mean in my stories, see you there! And @theloomia is offering 15% off when you use the code - Zevyjoy15 💕
I am currently working on Everly’s dollhouse and I am currently working on Everly’s dollhouse and adding some fun wall treatments/trim... I only wish real size home DIY’s were as simple as popsicle sticks and wood glue 😂! Come see what I mean on stories... But I did grab some fresh flowers for the yard and shared how I simply decorate for this favorite season of mine, summer ☀️ . It’s all up on the blog and I am joining my friends too so come say hello 💕
I listened to your votes in stories and this old t I listened to your votes in stories and this old thrifted mirror got a few coats of “Play it Cool” (the color I had on hand from our kitchen cabinets 😉). And this hallway is finally done 🎉! Here is a little before and after... The board and batten design is from @anitayokota after I saw how she used it in her pretty bedroom I knew this would put a fun modern spin in the hallway. Some fresh paint, an affordable vintage rug and updated lighting completed this long dark space. Covering popcorn ceilings will come next, but I hope this shows how a little trim and paint go a long way when working on spaces! 🌿
This past week was a time to listen and prayerfully learn. My eyes were opened and my heart convicted to speak up and to do better... While I begin to share my content here, I will strive to move forward for change and find ways to support black lives here and at home.
Please refer to @blackandembodied and @jessicawils Please refer to @blackandembodied and @jessicawilson.msrd for more about this movement. My feed will be muted here as I listen and learn. I will be in stories sharing resources that support black lives. #amplifymelanatedvoices
Clearly blue is on our mind... We both walked out Clearly blue is on our mind... We both walked out dressed sorta matching this morning 😂 This girl knows what she likes and asked to have her pink room transformed with blue... And you know when you give a mouse a cookie... 🍪 (Clearly I am the mouse 🐭 in this story 🤣) We finished up the new bead-board wall (I have trim touch up to do still) and then we are finishing spraying her little desk this afternoon. A couple vintage pieces are on the way, but otherwise I have been shopping the house for this little makeover. It’s all still in progress, but getting closer! And you all... This room is small!! So I am going to share how we tackle storage in this space so stay tuned in stories... 💕
Ever since I was little I can remember my dad tell Ever since I was little I can remember my dad telling me (who is a contractor/designer) the importance of using 3’s 💕. Now as I have made our own home, I almost always use the rule of 3’s whenever I am decorating. That goes for coffee tables, nightstands and more... I’m talking all about it and showing you some examples in stories today! And even more fun is that @boutiquerugs is offering 60% off with the code - ZEVYJOY60 ! This is the new rug we added from their collection to our bedroom here! So enjoy and have fun looking around at all their pretty selections... #boutiquerugspartner
You all know how I feel about pillows by now, don’t you?! 😂 Well in case you don’t... I think they are the best! They pull a space together affordably and make things cozy of course! You can trade them out or just keep adding to them (which is what I like to do 😉). And let’s face it, you can never have too many... Am I right? They are your artistic canvas in home decor and in my opinion there aren’t many rules to follow in the fun of mixing and matching them either! 🌿
Best of all, I’ve teamed up with 7 talented accounts to share how we used pillows to style our spaces. Head on over and check out what they’ve done... @thegingerhome
