Friday Favorites: A Few Of My New Favorite Things

Light, airy, and bright –is what makes these summertime accents the perfect combination for the months ahead. This time of year is perfect for bright colors that make a room feel cool while the temperatures outside are rising. These bright and breezy favorites will leave your home looking like it was inspired by an island escape –and what isn’t to love about that?

Throw pillows in bright, summery colors are a tried and true way to brighten up a room. Adding multiple pillows of various coordinating colors or textures brings color and comfort to a room.

The striking “Charlotte” pattern on this is one that will draw you into a room. Incorporating a dark rug into an otherwise bright space is a great way to add depth to the room without losing the bright summertime feel you are trying to convey.

This mirrored coffee table is a perfect addition to any summertime room. It’s a favorite due to its mirrored detail on every side, and of course –for its light reflecting properties. The simple and gentle design also adds to the appeal.

Nothing says summer like flowers, there’s really no better way to bring the outdoors in. This hand painted, natural brown dish garden with a mix of foliage from the orchid family is a great way to bring life into your home.

What are some of your favorite things for this season?
