It's Time to Add Summer

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.

The large demijohn color reminds me of sea glass and I stuck a black sea fan in the neck.

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.
