Greening Up…A Sweet Summer Room

ferns in living room
You are used to seeing lots of pretty florals in my home, but I wanted to share how just a few things brought in from the outside can give life to a room for spring and summer…

especially when you start with a predominantly white room such as our living room…

 

bringing the outside in
I took inspiration from the vintage French syphons on the mantel for the colorful addition of plants, and propped up a couple of large vintage clamshells as well…
Next came a trio of vintage nesting tables that are usually outside and some plants from the patio as well…

Simple spring and summer touches of plants and sea shells…

I whipped up a few pillows for the sofa from some vintage ticking stripe fabric that I had been hoarding…

My old French grey garden gates make the perfect backdrop for some plants on these vintage columns and plant stand. You can use anything that gives some varied height to display plants and I love to work in trios…

So there you have it…simple greenery from the garden or plants from your favorite nursery, a few pieces from the patio brought inside and you’ve got an easy change for a sweet summer room…

  3. Janet,
    I have coveted those nesting table of your ever since seeing them for the first time, some many years ago. Enjoyed seeing them again. Thanks for sharing.

  4. Oh my goodness! Love the aqua with the all the white. I will soon by working on a bedroom with those colors. You inspire me!

  5. I always love your style and had this blog saved on pinterest. I am older and we are downsizing I am selling my 10 piece dining room set to go smaller. I have seen dining tables that resemble your small white table but are much larger. I cannot find where to buy these on any site. Have you seen these and you know where they can be purchased?

    1. Thank you Ruth! Those stacking tables are vintage and I found them locally at a yard sale. Have never seen any like it in terms of what you are looking for.
