last 5 pins: july edition

Last 5 pins: July Edition

1. Christmas in July. This looks delicious and beautiful! 



2. Breakfast room. I think I have pinned this little breakfast area 3 times. I love the mixture of color, patterns and styles. 

3. Fall transition outfit. It pretty much stays hot here in the Carolinas until mid-October so cute transition outfits are a must. 


4. Cape Cod Vacation home. If you are still in vacation mode, you might enjoy looking at this beautifully decorated vacation home. 



5. Back to school list. We are just a few short weeks away from school starting which always kicks my OCD tendencies into gear. I like this list of organizational tips to follow to get back-to-school ready. 



Enjoy the rest of  your summer!

amazon home favorites


 1. Cotton duvet cover - We just recently updated Georgia's room with a larger bed therefore I needed to get new bedding. We went with a white duvet cover and let the pillows add the color. Typically I buy duvet covers at Tuesday Morning or TJ Maxx, but I could not find a simple white full cover so I looked on Amazon and gave this one a chance.  It is very soft and I really like that it has a zipper rather than buttons.




2. Outdoor Lights - I have been wanting to change up our outdoor lights by the garage for a while and just got around to doing that. I was looking for something simple and black and that coordinated with our front porch light. I also wanted the lights to be larger than what was previously on either side of the garage. I found these on Amazon and thought we would give them a try. They are the perfect size for our space. I loved them so much I bought another one for our back deck. 




3.Runner - I have had a sisal runner in the kitchen for several years now, but decided I wanted to try adding in a little color without spending a fortune.  This runner works well here. You definitely need a rug pad, but overall I like it. 



4. Tea Kettle - I am a nightly hot tea drinker and our previous kettle had seen better days, so I decided to try this one out. I like that it is very lightweight and the perfect size. The brass color adds some warmth to the stove too. I am now seeing my reflection in the kettle which is not flattering (ha!).




5. Drawer knobs - As I mentioned earlier, we did some updates in Georgia's room and one of the updates was switching out the drawer knobs to her dresser. These simple brass knobs work perfectly and came in a pack of 12.



What Amazon home items have you found that you would recommend?

last 5 pins: June edition


Hello July. I had to quickly put this 'Last 5' post together because July is upon us. The summer sure is flying by and I hope you are soaking it all up. 

Here are my last 5 pins: June edition

1. I cannot stop thinking about this wallpaper for my dining room.

2. Both Paul and I have been making iced coffees almost every afternoon. It is the perfect little pick-me-up. I need to try some of these recipes though.  I am sure they are better than my leftover morning coffee on ice with cream. 


3. Happy July 4th weekend. These would be the perfect festive and refreshing snack while waiting on fireworks to begin. 


4. The shirt, the shoes, the bag, and the jeans. I'll take it all. And while we are at it, please put me outside of a cute little café too:)


5. We have carpeted stairs that I truly cannot stand. I keep debating what to do. This is a nice carpet option that I am going to keep in mind for when the time comes to change them out. 


 

Happy July 4th weekend! I am thankful for our freedom and thankful for the many men and women that have made it possible.
