Welcome To Home Style Saturday #404

Summer and hunderstorms go hand in hand in our area. They can be impressive. And I love them! Bring on the lightning and thunder and torrents of rain and sometimes hail. I think this odd love of thunderstorms goes back to a strong childhood memory of sitting in a rocking chair on my Nani’s front porch during a thunderstorm and getting a short repreive from the heat. And, oh, I loved to watching nature’s magnificient show from my front row seat!

Summer’s are made for memories. No matter how wonderful or odd! I hope that as you peruse all of the ideas in HSS this week, they will inspire you to make the most of summer, every single day, and make memories!

From clashing furniture styles without a cohesive vision, to neglecting the power of proper lighting and thoughtful rug placement, these common decorating mistakes can quickly ruin the look and feel of even the most stylish homes. The solutions are simple, luckily!

Today’s Feature Friday is another gal I met on Instagram, Tracy from Plaids and Poppies. She’s a wife and mom of grown children and also a grandmother. She totally doesn’t look like a grandmother. Her home is just so pretty and I think you’re going to love it! What caught my eye on Instagram was how colorful her home is and her pics just draw you right in.

  1. I know that it”s an older posting but I LOVED seeing the home that Rhoda featured. It is impeccably decorated, but sooo fun! And what a gorgeous location and yard!! I’m not a big COLOR fan in decorating, but that home is stunningly vibrant and homey!
