I am so excited to be sharing SUMMER content with you guys!
The doors are open, the birds are chirping, and the sun is slowly making an appearance in Seattle!
Today I am gathering with a few blogging friends to show you our own takes on summer mantel styling, shelf styling, and summer vignettes.
I don’t really ever decorate our mantle simply because there isn’t much room to do so without blocking the TV.
So I opted for a small vase on the mantle, in black of course, with contrasting snowball flowers from the yard.
I love this tree and honestly could fill my whole house with these blooms.
I kept the shelf decor pretty much the same.
I like to give these shelves a good wipe down at least once a month, and at those times I will sometimes add or subtract items depending on the season.
I am still waiting to find the perfect chair for this corner, but honestly I am not minding just having the pouf there!
It gets used as additional seating a lot!
However, I might just bite the bullet on this chair that I have literally been eyeing FOREVER.
What do you guys think?
