SUMMER LIVING ROOM REFRESH

July 29, 2016


Since we are right in the middle of summer I have joined a group of talented bloggers to share how we refreshed our homes for the summer months (follow the links at the end). We all teamed up and decided to refresh one area at home, this summer.  After all who doesn't love some redecorating, am I right?

We redid our living room early this year, so I did not want to make any huge changes. Even though I still loved it, I wanted to make some budget friendly updates for the summer. So I shopped my home, added some new plants (it's summer after all! ) and updated my living room. It went from really blue to really green this time!
 
 
 
 
I am absolutely enjoying the extended sunlight hours.


The marble art used to be in our dining nook, but I switched things up this time. Isn't that the best kind of redecorating? 

 
 
 
My plants are unfortunately not doing that well. They have been plagued with problem after problem, and they are just hanging in there.
 
 
I did add this new plant cart, and I am very excited to fill it up with more plants. Our windows get very drafty during the winter. I tired myself out last year, moving the plants away from the window each night. The moving plant cart is an easy solution for winter, although I am in no hurry for winter to be here!  
 
 
 
 
I am always trying to redecorate with the stuff I already have, so I was really pleased this time that I was able to achieve an updated look without going out and having to buy new stuff!

Cheers,
Vinaya

      Thanks Jessica!! I was inspired to use a bar cart, like Linda of Home I Create, but didn't find one in my budget. I so enjoyed doing the blog hop too!

    Looks great, Vin! Fresh & fabulous 😊. The marble art brings so much life and vibrancy into the room - I love it!
    To answer your question, yes, I constantly redecorate - so often that sometimes I don't even have time to post about it before I make changes again :)

    Beautiful job Vin! Your plant cart is a great idea! I too love the idea of moving around what I already have, that way your home feels fresh and new, but it doesn't have to cost a penny! Love your calm and serene space!
