It may not be summer officially, but the heat and humidity sure says it is. I have started adding touches of summer here and there inside. I love decorating for summer using coastal things which remind me of many days at the beach growing up. I lived near the coast when I lived on St. Simons Island and then Hollywood, Florida, but when I was eleven we ended up just a few miles northeast of Atlanta and far from the beach.
Today I am sharing touches of summer in the foyer.
I had everything on hand in this vignette except the flowers. When I saw those at Trader Joes they had to come home with me at less than $3 a bunch.
This is the coral I found in Montgomery, Alabama a couple weeks ago.
This is the other larger piece. I love using coral and shells. These add shape and texture.
I have never heard of stock flowers, but that's what these are. They were the cheapest and four small bunches made this big bouquet.
There will be more summer style shared soon in a summer tour that starts next week.
I can't wait to see what the others have to share.
Love, love the summer vignette....beautiful flowers and a perfect summer feel with the coastal elements!...
ReplyDeleteLove your blog! So glad you were in Montgomery and I bet you found your coral at Eastbrook Flea Market. I have a booth on their downstairs level and hope you will stop by when you are here again.
ReplyDeleteIn the meantime, you can see what Saltmarsh Design is about on www.stylishsixtyish.blogspot.com.
No, it wasn't Eastbrook but I did shop there and didn't buy anything there.
DeleteI live in Montgomery as well...wish I knew who "bookbabe49" was as I'm in Eastbrook quite a bit. I had a booth there several years ago but when I became my mom's full time caregiver, I had to give it up. Still have a lot of friends who have booths there.
DeleteLove the coastal touches! Looking good!
ReplyDeleteSummer is looking pretty in your home Kim. Love the color of the flowers.

ReplyDeleteYes, Pinky I did see your comment on IG. I had never heard of stock flowers, but sure do love the way they look and smell.

I love the coral and those pink flowers are so pretty. I believe it's officially summer since it will be in the 90's this weekend!
ReplyDeleteIt looks so pretty, Kim. Love the addition of the coral, and the stock…gorgeous! Perfect summer vignette!
