I Love Summer

As I type, my windows are open and the bright sunshine is pouring in.

I love summer.

Several years ago, I probably would have said that autumn is my favorite season of the year.

I do love cooking hearty winter squash, picking pears and apples, and going on scenic drives to see the leaves in all their shades from red to yellow, but the older I get (and more kids I have) the more I love summertime.

I love the long easy days.

Kids don’t like wearing shoes? Go barefoot. Kids bored? Send them outside with a running garden hose. Not sure what to make for dinner? Throw some meat and veggies on the grill.

I love our jungle of a garden, that is usually exploding with cucumbers, herbs, tomatoes and rows of cut flowers, by mid July.

I always keep seasonal decor simple, but I hardly changed a thing for my summer tour. We’ve been too busy playing outside.

Welcome to our farmhouse in the summer!

Front Entryway

For the entryway, I added some greenery, and a bright yellow sunflower, to an antique enamel pitcher.

I hung some parsley, from the garden, on one of the hooks.

Maybe if my straw hat is hanging there I will actually remember to grab it, and wear it, before going out in the hot sun all day.

Dining Room

I added cilantro and parsley, from the garden, to some small ironstone pitchers, on our farmhouse table.

I also stuffed some sunflowers in my one gallon ironstone pitcher, that I snagged for 3 bucks at a garage sale. I never was one to spend much money on antiques and home decor.

My husband and his grandpa built our big table a few years ago, and I’m positive we will treasure it forever.

I didn’t really add anything new to my wingback chair, that sits in the corner of the dining room.

You can find a tutorial on how to make the linen throw blanket HERE, how to make the simple blue striped pillow cover from an Ikea tea towel HERE, and how to sew a slipcover for a wingback chair HERE.

That’s a lot of projects in one little corner! 😉
