Friday Finds Have the Summer Spirit
I love playing with colour in design and in my home, and to me there’s nothing more summary than pairing teal with reds or adding new airy photography to my walls. For the past two weekends in a row I’ve hosted a meal at my house and not only am I really enjoying it, it’s got me thinking about ways we can make our house brighter and more inviting when we have guests this summer…

A new vintage dress, custom straws for sipping soda, fancy stir sticks and a photographed butterfly collection? It seems like the perfect back drop for a mid-summer party to me!
Yay, summer colors!! :) Love these brights!
Great colors! i love the I love ranunculus print and have included it in a treasury.
{Quick question, how do you post the treasury like this? Is it wordpress thing? thanks.}
My goodness I love all the colors in these picks!
I am OBSESSED with teal and red right now, especially for the kitchen. At least once a week, I tell my husband, “That’s the shade of teal I want to paint our future kitchen!” or “We could buy that towel when our kitchen is teal and red.” Obsessed.
those are some great finds, can’t wait to meet you next week on Tue… can’t wait Kyla.. hugs bonitarose
i love teal, anything ocean colored really. we just finished decorating our living room with lots of teal accents everywhere but i love how there are so many other colors mixed in here. i also love playing hostess, so much fun. i ‘ll send you that recipe for couscous soon, its perfect for a summer bbq.
happy friday.
I have that exact Kinies bag! It is AWESOME and the colour is gorgeous.
I almost NEVER have people over, I think it’s because I work from home and have people (kids) here all day- when I’m done work I just want my space to be my own. LAME I know.
Oooh, these colors pop so much – pretty! We definitely play host for dinner occasionally, ever since we got our table! Can be a little stressful but usually is so much fun. We will soon be incorporating fiestaware into our lives so that alone will be a huge change with color! :)
We don’t host people very often – our place is SO small, it’s hard to cram in even one more person! I love those drinking straws :)
Does playing host to two little girls every few days count? =) Haven’t really hosted anyone since I’ve moved and I miss it! We should have a lot going on August through the fall, though, with people coming up for holidays and etc. I’m pretty excited about it. Love the colors you found, they look amazing!
Ooh! I’m loving that apron, that blue bag, and most of all those cute drinking straws! Also, that bright floral dress is divine! Thanks for sharing such bright and summery finds! Glad you’re enjoying hosting yummy get-togethers lately! <3
Rob and I don’t host nearly enough as I’d like. We live so far from everyone and don’t have a ton of friends in the area we live in now….but I love everything you’ve posted here! I hope when we have a house we can have some fun parties :)
