When it’s warm outside, our favorite thing to do is to bring the indoors outside and the outdoors inside. We’re leaving the doors and windows open, and bringing a bit of the garden inside. We’re also taking our rugs and pillows outside for summer soirees and dining al fresco. Here are some of our favorite ways to summer!
Flowers and Plants: bring them inside!

Light your Night: oil lamps and candles are so perfect for summer nights.

Summer Blues: Whether you’re dining al fresco or staying indoors, blue will remind you of summer days by the ocean. Don’t forget the bread basket!

Or if blue isn’t your color, go bright with stars and stripes. We love these vintage pink pillows from Hanoi, Vietnam, which look just as good inside as outside. 
Large silver and brass trays are perfect for both indoor and outdoor picnics!

Happy summer to you!
