SUMMER DECORATING





















Time for Summer - So Lighten Up!

And if I know Summer (boy, do I know Summer! I live in Florida) it's gonna be a scorcher!

So, you might want to put away the heavy stuff, including colors, and lighten it up. You can change throw rugs, window treatments, linens, pillows and accessories to a much lighter and airier feel. Use sheers and lightweight fabrics at windows. Cotton fabrics on pillows cools things off. Wicker furniture and other white pieces help.

It gives the sense of coolness...lighter, brighter or cool colors and fabrics, even artwork can change the atmosphere. You may even want to change out a wall color, an inexpensive way to totally change a room.

Bring the outdoors in. Fresh flowers and plants, garden statues and furniture give the feel of being outside without being in the heat.

Have fun and enjoy the wonderful time of Summer!
