Our little upstairs hallway is making quite a bit of progress. Shortly after I posted a look at some of my favorite black and white rugs (you can read that post here), I went ahead and pulled the trigger on one – and boy did it make a difference in that little hall space.
Because I love seeing a room’s progression over the years (in this case it’s been about four), here’s a quick look…
Good morning friends!
I hope you all had a beautiful weekend. I don’t know about where you are, but the weather here has been hot, hot, hot! Much to my surprise, I’m okay with it. It’s actually been kind of nice…
But ask me again in a few weeks if I still feel that way…I’m not usually a hot weather person. 🙂
So I have a few little updates to share with you from the dining room today. I was really pretty happy with how it looked for spring, so I didn’t want to change up much, but I did want to tie it in to the living room by incorporating some of the same elements. I always like these two rooms to flow since they’re right off one another.
I always use the seasons as an excuse to change things up around the house. Sometimes I change a lot, and other times only a little, but I always find it refreshing to move things around and give a space a new identity – even if it’s only a minor one. Besides…any reason to put some of those pillow covers I have stashed around the house into rotation is a good enough reason for me 😉
When you’re from Michigan, summer immediately brings one thing to mind – the lake. At least it does in my mind, so I usually like to give things a bit of a lakehouse/coastal vibe when it comes to summer decorating. Glass bottles, rope accents, weathered or white-washed wood, and colors that reflect the sand, water, and sky are a good way to get that easy going “by the lake” feel.
Hi!
Remember me? 🙂
I have really been taking this new “no schedule” policy to heart, haven’t I?
Life has been kind of hectic lately, but I just enjoyed a super nice five day weekend – and it seems to be exactly what I needed. I did a little shopping, a little reading, a little relaxing, a little decorating, and even managed to fit in a little treasure hunting. It was the best break ever!
