Decorating for summer

I know I'm a little early, but after lots of beach trips over the holidays, (and maybe too many trips to some of my favourite shops), I've started to plan my summer decorating. It's time pack away the throw rugs and winter woolies, and break out the beach beauties. And whether you live near the water or not, there's room for a bit of coastal style in every home.









 







Ok, off to meet some lovely friends for painting classes this morning....what a nice way to start the week!

    Sometimes I forget our seasons are opposite. Beach style is perfect any time.

    Hi Kerri,
    What a lovely post, and this comes on the day that I have packed away my "beach decor", and is starting to warm up to fall, on the other side of the globe....

    Have a fun week!

    Yes it is time for some summery beachy decorating I agree. I wonder how they got those corals so white? I have a bit soaking in bleach but so far it is still a bit grey.

    It's never too early to get excited about summer! Especially with these gorgeous images which scream summertime! But if summer is not far away, then neither is Christmas and THAT's scary!
