Hello, Summer!

I absolutely adore this time of the year……..

kids home from school, longer days, eating on the porches, chatting by the fire-pit after dark……I could go on and on.

I could do without the extreme heat and mosquitoes, but that's ok!

Many thanks to sweet, Marty from A Stroll Thru Life  for organizing yet another amazing seasonal tour. 

HUGE 2017 summer home tour of top bloggers! So much inspiration!

Welcome to the 2017 Summer Home Tour!

If you are stopping by from Anita at Far Above Rubies, then a big welcome! Grab a glass of iced tea and join me on the front porch.

In honor of summer and where we spend so much time, I thought I'd share 2 of our outdoor living spaces with you.

Outdoor Living Summer Tour

Ideas for southern outdoor living! Welcome to this large front porch and backyard terrace area.

I'm so excited to share our front porch with you this year. I finally bought new wicker rockers!!!

Here's a photo right before I got the chairs.

All of the plantings around the base of the front porch are just various green shrubs. The only extra color is from these pots here and the hanging baskets.

Thank goodness for our pressure washer because this brick patio has to be cleaned a couple of times per year. Crazy me, but I love to pressure wash. Am I the only one?

Last summer, we had the ceiling painted haint blue and I adore it. Best decision ever.

Teak benches flank the front steps. They have been regular spots for photos especially at prom.

I added the striped rug in December. I love the relaxed feel it gives the porch not to mention the texture and pattern it adds.

The resin wicker rockers were a steal from Kirkland's for around $115 each.

The floral pillows are from Lowes. They are very bold and different from what I'd normally purchase. I brought 1 home to try. No one was really crazy about them, but I was just drawn to the colors. Every color that I love to use is in this pillow! They are fun and bright. I need a little bright. I went back and bought them for the front and back. Now everyone loves them! Cute little blue metal table is from Big Lots.

The seat cushions are from Marshalls.

Seriously, my prize plant find for this season came from the recommendation of a staging client of mine. I've seen them before, but kind of passed them over. They are called Macho ferns. Yes, that is the correct name. I had already decided no more Boston ferns for me. We were tired of the constant mess from the shedding. These do not shed and grow big….pretty macho…huh?

Ideas for southern outdoor living! Welcome to this large front porch and backyard terrace area.

I sold the old table and chairs on the porch. It was just too small and not comfortable for the space. This table was in a model apartment. It was no longer needed for staging so I got it for free! It is a beast. I can't even begin to tell you how freaking heavy the glass is. The chairs aren't the best for it, but suffice. They were on the back patio.

We've been eating out here more now. It's such a cozy nook on the porch.

My favorite thing on this table is that sweet bowl! They go perfectly with the napkins and my blue willow china. The bowls are from Big Lots! I bought them when I was in the store over Christmas. I've been dying to use them.

The porch is an eclectic mix of new, budget and thrift store finds. The perfect combo!

The perfect spot for watching the rabbits frolic in the yard and the occasional deer bolt by.

When I moved the 4 wrought iron chairs to the front porch, I replaced them with these plastic Adirondack chairs from True Value. They are so comfortable and portable!

The farmhouse metal vase holder is from Kirkland's. It is seriously perfect for holding fresh-cut flowers from the yard. My Knock-Out roses have been in full bloom! The table-cloth is from Wal-mart.

Since the pillows have so much color, I decided to go a bit more blue on this side with the pink flowers.

    Wow your front porch is so grand! I love the colorful pillows! I’m al about adding pops of color especially in outdoor spaces. The turquoise little side table looks great! I shop all the sources that you used for your outdoor space. Your backyard space looks very inviting and relaxing too. Love your pup! I’m following on instagram now! I found you on Savvy Southern Style where you are featured today.

    you have so many amazing spots outdoors! i love that extended courtyard at your front entry. i never noticed that and I also love the shutters that are used for privacy on your porch. Do you always keep them closed?

      Thanks so much, Laura! The shutters are operable, but always leave them closed….not sure why. I might just have to go open them now to see! 🙂

    I love to pressure wash too…. I think of it as when I vacuum, that nice clean feeling.
    I adore your house, but I like the way you use common store ( i.e. Walmart, Kirkland, Big lots) to get really good buys and the items looks classy. Good girl.

Do you change your bedroom for the seasons? I’m Do you change your bedroom for the seasons? I’m a bit loosey goosey about it. I tend to decorate it in a way that will work for a couple of seasons at a time. The easiest way to do this is with pillows! I went a little unexpected color wise for spring because I found these gorgeous pillows @potterybarn and had to use right now! I love a pillow that will do double duty in other rooms as well. These will also work in the family room for a quick change. You can see all the details and more of our bedroom with a rug change by visiting my link in bio to this fun tour with 5 of my blogging friends.

After so many days of clouds and rain, the sun is glorious! Look at that blue sky!

That quote totally sums up spring in the south! I laughed so hard when I read it. 

Nothing brightens a table like blue and white with pops of yellow! SWIPE to see all the photos. This color combination gets me so excited about the promise of warmer days ahead! ☀ I freshened up our breakfast room with a few new things courtesy of @oldtimepottery #oldtimepotterypartner 

A little old with some new spring finds gave a fresh look to our kitchen table.

I used to make all of the birthday cakes for my ki I used to make all of the birthday cakes for my kids years ago. I’ve never had a class, but you can learn a lot from books and Youtube these days. This is the first one I’ve made in probably 8 years. These little smaller mini cake pans are so fun to make a taller cake. I’ve got all the details on this semi-homemade cake that starts with a box on the blog today along with a few recipes from my friends. Each month we come together to share a simple recipe. 

It’s not perfect, but made with love. 💕 It was a big hit for @ashlyn_little ‘s birthday on Jan 30th. I can’t wait to make another one! You’ll find a link in stories today or visit my link in bio @oursouthernhome to visit the blog.
