Summer Living Room | 2019

Hello Friends!! I’m so excited to be joining in with some other blogging friends today to share the first glimpse’s of summer in our home! Summer is my favorite time of the year to add in pops of navy blue. I love it paired up against our white sofa, it feels so fresh for summer, so that is just what I did!

Take a look ~

I love that summer is easy and carefree, and that’s just the kind of feeling I wanted to encompass for my decor. It doesn’t change a whole lot, but a quick swap out of throw pillows instantly refreshes my living room for summer.

The navy blue throw pillow is a favorite, I picked up from Pottery Barn a couple years back. The blue and white strip throw pillow is from Target last spring, and sadly they don’t carry it anymore, but I did see a similar gray and white stripe style this year! The gray and white throw blanket is also from Target a few years ago.

I kept things simple on my coffee table, with a light colored rattan basket (found HERE), and a simple bouquet I made of queen anne’s lace, ranunculus, tiny white freesia, and pittosporum I grabbed from the local nursery for that extra pop of green!

One of my favorite “summer” throw pillows is this gray and white floral lumbar pillow you see in the chair below. I got it a few years ago from Caitlin Wilson, and it’s still a summer staple in my house! P.S. I just noticed it’s on sale for $9, found HERE!

I carry out my pop of navy blue in artwork, and coffee table books, and add in a few plants here and there, but overall I just crave a more simple feel as summer approaches.

We’ve waited all winter for bright sunny days, and I love how much daylight our living room in the long summer days. I like to keep my decor light and airy to compliment all that natural sun light!

I always get asked about our trunk coffee table. It was inherited on my husbands side, as his grandfather made it back in the 50’s. I refinished it a few years ago, and we have been using it as our coffee table for quite a few years now. It’s where I store all of my seasonal throw pillows, making it easy to swap them out each season 🙂

Be sure and stop by my friends below, and check out how they have welcomed summer into their homes as well ~
