Summer Time

When summertime rolls around, I like to change out some of our decor in favor of lighter and brighter items. We have finally entered the warm summer months, naturally I am attracted to pretty bright fabrics, natural accents, fruit and flower prints, pastels, art involving the outdoors and exotic animals. Naturally. (Are you with me?) Here are some of my favorite picks for this time of year! The plus is when the winter months return, your home will feel like an oasis!

Anthropologie Wallpaper

1| 2| 3| 4|5| 6 

I always look to Anthropologie for fun and quirky additions to spaces I am decorating. I only recently discovered the fabulous collection of wallpaper they carry. I don't believe we have it here in Canada, but I think you can order it online! I would love to use #6 in a powder room, #3 would be adorbs in a little girls nursery, #4 would be so much fun in a kitchen space with a rustic hipter lodge theme!! Which one is your fave??

Palm Beach Lady

I am always inspired by that Palm Beach lady. This is a lady who sips vintage cocktails by the pool, while doing her best impression of Jackie O. She has a poodle name Gigi, and a bubble gum pink coloured T-Bird. She wear Lilly Pulitzer sheath dresses and carries a cigarette holder. She laughs at the top of her lungs and doesn't care who hears...She is the life of the party.

Here is one of her favorite rooms in her home- would you care to come and hang out for a while?

If you have any questions about any of the items posted email me! Or refer to my Pinterest boards.

Woof!!

Hey!!! Sorry for the absence, I have been entertaining guests for the past 5 days and haven't had an opportunity to really sit down and blog!! It was so nice to relax and enjoy some of the nicer weather that has come our way in Toronto the past few days, after all hell broke loose last week as we had a huge awful blizzard.... Believe it or not two weeks ago I was walking around in my trench coat and flats, little did I know a storm was lurking!!

Anyways I am really taken by this wallpaper. I found it it this months Rue and fell in love instantly with the room, and the home that it was in- and for that matter the blogger who lives in this home is amazing!! It is so playful and fun- I love it, and I know every time I would walk in to this powder room I would have a huge smile on my face!!

Always Stay Graceful,
