Wrap Yourself In Summer Time
We welcome summer time, opening the windows, feeling the warmth of the summer breeze on our face, feet free to feel the earth, fruits we have missed all winter long and the longer days let us enjoy family and friends more. Simply changing a few things in your home can truly add to summer living and enhance all that it offers.
Add a new view, get creative and utilize what you have right there, a new focal point can create a whole new feel to your room. Move your furniture away from the standard focal point fire places, and create a warm weather atmosphere by moving your furniture towards windows or french doors, allowing you to take in the outdoors while still inside. Take down heavy drapery, and if you need to hang light weight sheers that flow in the breeze.
Pare Down your rooms, look around and envision your home as a rental property at the lake or beach. Get back to basics, move out the over sized furniture, and store heavy drapery away for the season. Pack away the many small accessories we collect over time and have a simple, clean living environment so you can enjoy the days of summer.
Living with nature, bring nature inside, adding succulents to unique containers such a shell, jar, log, or vase, adds texture and character to your summer dinning table.
Eating Outdoors, one of everyone's favorite things to do in the summer. The warm weather brings longer days, everyone wants to spend as much time outdoors as possible. Create an extension of your home with an outdoor eating area, table and chairs or a picnic on a blanket, whatever your choose, enjoy it. Added bonus, it will keep the inside of your home a little cleaner.

Lighting the Night while outdoors can enhance the magical feeling of a warm summer night helping your evening extent into the night.
