REFRESH YOUR KITCHEN FOR SUMMER

May 16, 2017

Today I am sharing 5 easy updates to refresh your kitchen for the summer. I like to keep decor pretty simple and carefree, especially during the spring and summer. These changes will give you great style without a lot of fuss, plus they won't break the bank.

My latest obsession is wide mouth vases with green leafs or fresh flower spilling over its edges. You can use these vases anywhere in your home but my favorite places to use them is on a kitchen island or near the sink.

My other obsession is vintage/flat woven rugs. They instantly brighten up any space and I love using them in kitchens like in this stunning design by Studio McGee. Do you spy the wide mouth jar here too?

I love statement wallpaper but for some, wallpaper can be scary or maybe you rent your home and can't make big changes. A great way to get that statement pattern into your home without the big commitment is roman shades or drapery in a statement fabric.

I am loving textured dishes and serve ware and this set from West Elm does not disappoint! These dishes can take your dinner from plain and boring to beautiful and elegant.

Cutting boards are the perfect mix of form and function. They come in all kinds of shapes and finishes to suit every decor style and I dont see them going out of style. I like to use wood boards, leaning them against the back splash to create layers. Pair them with pretty salt & pepper shakers and crocks full of wood utensils for a easy style.

You can add all these ideas together to create a Pinterest-worthy kitchen in your own home.
