I Love Summer
As I type, my windows are open and the bright sunshine is pouring in.
I love summer.
Several years ago, I probably would have said that autumn is my favorite season of the year.
I do love cooking hearty winter squash, picking pears and apples, and going on scenic drives to see the leaves in all their shades from red to yellow, but the older I get (and more kids I have) the more I love summertime.
I love the long easy days.
Kids don’t like wearing shoes? Go barefoot. Kids bored? Send them outside with a running garden hose. Not sure what to make for dinner? Throw some meat and veggies on the grill.
I love our jungle of a garden, that is usually exploding with cucumbers, herbs, tomatoes and rows of cut flowers, by mid July.
I always keep seasonal decor simple, but I hardly changed a thing for my summer tour. We’ve been too busy playing outside.
Welcome to our farmhouse in the summer!
Front Entryway
For the entryway, I added some greenery, and a bright yellow sunflower, to an antique enamel pitcher.
I hung some parsley, from the garden, on one of the hooks.
Maybe if my straw hat is hanging there I will actually remember to grab it, and wear it, before going out in the hot sun all day.
Dining Room
I added cilantro and parsley, from the garden, to some small ironstone pitchers, on our farmhouse table.
I also stuffed some sunflowers in my one gallon ironstone pitcher, that I snagged for 3 bucks at a garage sale. I never was one to spend much money on antiques and home decor.
My husband and his grandpa built our big table a few years ago, and I’m positive we will treasure it forever.
I didn’t really add anything new to my wingback chair, that sits in the corner of the dining room.
You can find a tutorial on how to make the linen throw blanket HERE, how to make the simple blue striped pillow cover from an Ikea tea towel HERE, and how to sew a slipcover for a wingback chair HERE.
That’s a lot of projects in one little corner! 😉
Kitchen
For the kitchen, I just added fresh herbs, greenery and sunflowers.
Soon our big farm sink will be full of garden vegetables.
Normally I clear my counters completely off for pictures, but the reality is I always have a few things sitting out, bubbling and fermenting.
Bedroom
For the bedroom, I added my new striped grain sack pillow from the shop.
My lightweight blanket from Hayneedle is perfect for cool summer nights. It pairs perfectly with our farmhouse iron bed.

Help – what’s the secret to grow in cilantro . I have tried with both seed and plants to no avail. Oh and your home is just dreamy.
Lisa Bass says
Honestly, I don’t know. It has always grown really well here. I’m sure it is something to do with the soil. I do know it doesn’t like a lot of heat. Grow it in spring or fall, and try planting it in the shade/partial sun. 🙂
