It just takes more time.
I was compensated for my time spent working on this post, but all thoughts and opinions are 100% mine as always!I’m so excited to be a part of the Canadian Bloggers Home Tour yet again!This time around, it’s a one day, all the inspiration you can possibly handle, summertime extravaganza!
So grab yourself a nice tall glass of iced tea, sit back, and enjoy peeking into the homes of all these great Canadian bloggers!Make sure to click through to the other homes on the tour when you get to the end of this post!.I thought it would be fun to share with you some of the specific little things that I like to do to give my home that summertime feeling at this time of year.
I like to keep things simple, as always, but I find that once I do these few things, I really start to feel like “OK.. now.it’s summer.” If your home could use a little seasonal pick-me-up, you might want to try adding a few of these ideas to your bag of tricks as well!.
When I think of summer decor, the first thing that always comes to mind is the advice that I used to read in decor magazines about how to switch your home decor up for summer.. And it was ridiculous.. And it kind of made me mad..
I always used to read suggestions like “Take down all of the curtains in your house and switch them out for flowy white cotton ones instead.” Or “Switch out your large area rugs for something more natural and beachy-feeling.” Or “Bring the outdoors in!Well.. On one recent cleaning adventure, the stars aligned and everything fell into place and the secret was revealed to me!.
So, I remembered that you’re supposed to wash your cloths before you use them, which I had done before.I washed them again though, just for the heck of it, and suddenly they worked like a charm!.
So what was different?Well this time I was out of dryer sheets, so I’ve been been using tinfoil in my dryer instead!
