I thought’d it be fun today to consider what summer means to each of us… I’ve gathered a few images from here and there that make me think of summer days and evenings around the home and design trends that go along with each. The below represent some of my favorite ways to spend longer days at a much slower pace than the rest of the year. I know for many of us we could write sonnets and songs dedicated to summer because we love it so much – but for others, they prefer another time of year and might skip summer altogether if given the choice!

What a gorgeous loft space… It’s fun to dream from time to time here on the blog just how lovely it would be to live in a home that is this beautifully decorated and with such a keen eye for design.

I’ve paired some of the pics with a few great Etsy finds.

I found this space via the automatism blog – photos are from: Mi Casa Revista

Etsy Finds:
1). Pigeon Toe Ceramics 2). Scene_Thirty1
3). Tipple & Snack 4). Madder Root
5). Fabulous Mess 6). Chase Vintage

Do you love this house as much as I do? My only concern – curtains… Not sure how that would work out here.

Wonder how this space would look on a snowy day? Pretty unreal I imagine!

After some more homework – it appears that this is a “concept home”, and the visualization is by Peter Guthrie. Found via: Finetingogsjokolade blog.
