With birthday parties, sports and this time a pre-k graduation and Conor’s Christening (finally! My entire family has been over from Ireland for the past week so I’ve been busy playing chauffeur, chef and all-round hostess.
Gone are the vibrant greens of spring and in are the navy blues and white for that perfect coastal look. Followed by this pretty blue armchair that was a total steal of a deal and finally, to finish it off, some artwork (from HomeGoods) and a hammered gold sconce over the chair. The blue cache pots on the mantel are from Pottery Barn and no longer sold online but my local store still has them, so I if you like them I would check yours, too. Our Rhododendrons are right outside our living room window and for several weeks our interior is bathed with a sea of pink light coming from them.
There’s navy and white in every corner of this room but it doesn’t feel boring thanks to lots of texture, like with these throw blankets and woven basket. I opted to put the patterned pillow in the middle to break up the solids but not so much that it competes with the rug.
I hadn’t changed them since I originally made the frames but now that we have some nice, updated family photos I thought it was about time.
Now that you’ve seen my summer living room, it’s time to visit my friend, Christina from The DIY Mommy who is sharing the most beautiful lake house!
