Summer Trends And A New Giveaway!!!

So The truth is...I hate Summer. It's hot and sweaty and everything and everywhere is stuffy and dry. Girls get way too risque with their clothing and they push the limits of what is appropriate a little more each year. The sun beats down on us, and even in the pool...the one place there is to almost cool off...you need sunscreen and sunglasses.

Although I hate summer fashion trends, there are some good things to be said for design trends...especially when it comes to window coverings! It's interesting to see the crossover in fashion and design trends. We hit the summer season and bring out all our lightweight cotton, linen, and sheer clothing and our homes follow suit! The photos in this blog are one way our homes reflect the style of the season: Using light, natural colors and sheers on our windows to block the sun or welcome the sunlight as we please.

Our window coverings focus brings us to our new giveaway! Follow the below steps to enter and you could WIN these Hunter Douglas window decor books!!!

We Are Now On Pinterest!!!

It took quite a long time for me to jump on the Pinterest band wagon. It wasn't that I didn't want a Pinterest account, I just didn't think I had the time to manage one...as evidenced by the fact that I have not been on here in quite a while either!


I finally had a reason to get an account, and that was to WIN! First Z Gallerie was hosting a contest, and I ADORE Z so I simply HAD to enter...and then I quickly became addicted to the entire site. It's such a simple way to keep all your inspiration in one place! 


I now have boards for the home, style, things for the kids (when I have them a LONG time from now), and my most recent is a travel board. Granted that one is for a contest through Expedia so it does have a theme. But if at some point in my life I actually get to visit the places on my board, I will consider life complete!


Go Ahead...if you're not on pinterest, JOIN, follow my boards, and you won't be disappointed. Personally I think there's some pretty quality stuff on there!


Have a blessed week!
