Summer Decorating 101

Its hard to believe that we are well into the month of May already! I am so excited that summer is coming and that has me thinking about changing out my Spring decor for some summery things! 

Today I want to share with you what I love about this season and some simple ways to decorate for summer. 

Summer decorating is all about coastal influences and lightening up. 

Its watery colors and natural elements. 

What better way to inspire you than with lots of beautiful pictures!

I love these colors and the textures!

I'd love to have you pin something but the owners of these pictures deserve the pin credit. Please click on the links to their sites to link directly from the owner.
