Summer Colors

Hello everyone!

If you've been following my blog for any length of time, you know by now how I like to change

 color schemes within my basic neutral palette. This summer has been hotter than usual, which may explain why I adopted a softer color palette in my home this year.  I am drawn to the butter soft lilac, powder blue, and heather grey hues to mix with my white slip covered furniture.  

I thought I would share some changes I made using these colors in my front sitting room.  It's an easy room to decorate.  It's just off the foyer and opens up to the family room.  

I decided to change out the textiles and a few accessories in here.  The biggest change was the mirror over the antique chest.  It used to be in my foyer before I moved it in here.

I don't know why I hadn't tried it in here before now.  It's really a perfect fit! A bit of silver, crystal and faux lilacs adds a feminine touch.

My antique secretary is in this space too.  

I added this elegant ivory beaded pillow to the chair.  This is a pillow that I don't want my dog to lie on, so putting it in this chair is a good way to keep him off of it.  He never lies in this chair!  

I have my oversized prayer beads on the secretary too.  I got those last Christmas.

I can't believe this weekend is the 4th of July holiday already!  This summer is speeding by.  I plan on having my son and his girlfriend (whom I haven't met yet) over for dinner Saturday night.  So that will be fun.  Not sure yet what we're doing for the actual 4th holiday though.  I hope that you all have a safe and happy 4th of July!

Thanks for visiting.
