living Room Updates + Summer Drink Recipe + Patio Ideas
Home Style Saturday is your weekend mini-decorating and lifestyle magazine filled with ideas and inspiration with you and your home in mind.
Welcome To Home Style Saturday #409
This week, HSS is part of a series called DECORATING SCHOOL during the month of July. It’s the time of year when readers are a bit elusive; most decorating bloggers have exhausted writing about summer decor, and our readers are not ready for fall yet. However, this period is perfect for boosting our decorating IQ before the rush of fall and Christmas. Welcome to DECORATING SCHOOL! All this week, I’m rewriting and reposting some of the most popular and important “how to decorate” posts to help you become a more confident and skilled decorator! Today’s post is about Updating A Living Room.
See the bottom of the post for a list of all of July’s DECORATING SCHOOL posts.
Make sure you check out all we have to share this week.

Adding Motorized Screens To A Backyard Porch

It’s another exciting day around here and I’m sharing how adding motorized Phantom Screens has completely changed the way we are going to live in our backyard. I’m still pinching myself that I had the opportunity to collaborate with them on this backyard project of ours. This was definitely a project for the professionals.
