Just adding a few simple touches can bring a little summer into your home. Our favorites: sand, seashells, starfish & coral pieces.
Reuse glass containers all year round & change what you fill inside with items from the different seasons. Now, filled with sand & shells~ reminds us of our many family summers at the beach.
Trays are a nice touch on your coffee table. Using books under a framed family photo & with a trinket for the season.
A large seashell & fresh cut flowers on the dining table. Notice how the cut flowers are in a clear glass placed inside the silver container. Just because one container isn’t practical, doesn’t mean you can’t make shortcuts like this to make it work.
Bringing summer decor into the bathroom with starfish & a decorative soap looks great on a stand or tray. A simple piece of twine tied around a hand towel or set of washcloths with a small shell or starfish is… Gorgeous!! If you don’t have towels with summer designs on it, a solid will work great.
Inexpensive glass hurricanes from TJMaxx filled with small shells & candles look great in the kitchen.
These containers are on the fireplace mantle all year round. Love to refresh them each season. *A trick when filling containers: place a clear cup upside down & fill. This way you don’t need as much fill, & the middle will not be seen. This was done with the seashells above.
Love these battery operated candles that have automatic timers that go on every evening for 4 hours & turn off automatically. They add such a warm glow to our family room. Just adding a simple shell next to the candles brings in summer (you can’t tell these are Christmas candles!).
Many of these items have special memories for us. When decorating your home, place a personal treasured item where you can see & enjoy it. Just remember that items without specific memories still create memories on their own, because your family will always remember how your home always looked & felt special with each & every season!
