Summerizing

Summer is in full swing and I haven't shown y'all any of my summerizing. So today I am sharing how I added a few summer accents to the family room. Y'all know I am all about color, but for summer I like to lighten and brighten and cool things down a bit and there is no easier way than by adding white accents.

Let's ignore the big black television and just look at the accessorizing above. I have added white accents and texture.

I have a few sea fans that I have collected over the past couple years and love adding them this time of year. I moved the scale from the mantel to the bookcase and added the sea fan behind it standing up in the basket that was already there.

A stone finial, ironstone, books with pages facing forward and a shell are simple updates.

The balance/scale that moved to the bookcase that was on the mantel has been replaced with a piece of knotty driftwood.

Not as much white added to the other side, but there are a couple new accessories that I have had for some time that I have not shown y'all.

I found these dog trophies on an etsy shop and decided to purchase them. The tails are broken, but that's o.k. Y'all know by now it doesn't have to be perfect.

Another sea fan has been placed against a black tray behind the ironstone. A preserved boxwood ball adds more texture.

I shared this cool piece I found at HomeGoods in this post.

Dried hydrangeas are still in the fireplace. My bush is not putting out as many blooms this year....poo

I swapped out some pillows and added the French ticking ones in here.

Do any of you photography buffs know what is causing this white spot on my photos?? See it on the sofa?

On the opposite side of the room on the sideboard I have added another sea fan to the vintage bread board and filled the old French scale with real coral.

When I shared the foyer vignette I shared how I swapped the two demijohns to add the more bluish colored one to the foyer and the greener one is here now and I swapped the black lamp shade for this lighter one.

This piece was brought out of hiding and added for a little more French country style.

So simple and nothing fussy, but a lighter feel for the summer season.

I know there have been lots of summer home tours around blog land, but have you summerized your home?

Another super cute favorite room will be shared here tomorrow.
