Summer Mantel & Living Room

Summer is finally here! 

I wish I could say I was enjoying it,

sitting by the pool, sipping lemonade and reading a good book, 

but it seems between work & my son's baseball games,

there is time for little else.

I wanted to share my mantel & living room.

I went with blue & white and

I must admit, I love this color combination.

In April, I had my heart set on going

with a peach & aqua color scheme for Summer.

I was ahead of the curve, for once.

I started gathering items & sewed new pillow covers.

And then....

in May, I started clearing out my Spring décor

& began adding the peach & aqua décor.

Oh what a fail!! 

 I hated it even before I finished it!

I quickly took everything down & decided 

blue & white was the way to go.

I have to laugh because I've been seeing

a lot of blue & white around lately.

I guess I chose well. 

I'm toying with the idea of changing the curtains to 

coordinate with the blue & white theme, 

but I'm not sure if I'll be looking to change 

everything up again once Fall arrives.

Decisions, decisions.

 I rarely show this side of the room,

so here goes...

even if it is an off center picture!

I really hope you are enjoying your Summer so far!

Thanks for visiting me today.
