Summer Eclectic Home Tour: Summer in My House

SHARES

Today is an amazing day, and do you know why?  Because more than 50 percent of my home is clean. Take a moment to let that soak in.  With 2 busy kids and 3 dogs, and so much work lately going on in our yard rather than in the house, it’s a rarity these days to have any room clean.  Also today, I am sharing those clean spaces with you as part of the Summer Eclectic Home Tour put together by the ever stylish and envelope-pushing Jess of Domicile 37.  She gathered a group of talented and diverse bloggers all sharing their unique summer spaces, and I am honored to be a part of it.

Most friends enter through the kitchen door, but I thought we’d go all out for the occasion and come on in through the front door.  This time of year, we have mature peonies all in bloom in our front yard, and my heart already aches for their short season to come to an end.  I clip and enjoy them in several rooms of the house before the season’s over.  In our small entry, Emmy and I arranged a little bouquet to place on our live edge shelf.  (You can also read about my sharpie sheep wall here, if you’d like).Sheep Stencil Wall with Gold Moroccan Mirror, Live Edge Shelf- EntryPinStanding from the entry one can turn right into the dining room, straight down the hallway or up the stairs, or turn left to enter the living room.  Let’s head right and check out the dining room.Eclectic Dining room in blue, black, white with sarape on benchPin

PinPinPinPinPinPinPinPin

This space is honestly where our dogs spend much of their time, so it’s often filthy a little dirty.  Because they’re in here so much, I don’t go overboard with decor… more things out means more likelihood of things breaking!

To bring in a summer feel without going crazy, I added a Mexican sarape to the bench.  My mother found it for me at a market in California, and I love the bold colors- well, bold for me, being a bold shade of blue.

Sarape on Dining BenchPinThis room is honestly always in permanent summer mode, as the gallery wall features seascapes and nautical paintings that remind me of summer beach trips.

On the center of the table, I placed a terra cotta wine cooler that a friend thrifted and hand painted for my birthday last year.  Of course, I tried to fill it with water at first and that didn’t work out so well (that’s why you see it’s darker on the bottom half in the above photos- oops!), so inside of it I stuck a summer staple, a red solo cup, and filled that with water and then added my branches.  The greenery is just from some overgrown weed trees on our property.  Whatever works, right?Terra Cotta Wine Holder as VasePinOn our sideboard, I keep out vintage green glass floats that bring in the green and also make it feel summer.  But again, I do like to keep them out most other times as well.  And of course, Emmy and I have been working on this vintage dollhouse so for now it stays here as well.Sideboard with green glass floatsPin

PinPinPinPinPinPinPinPin

In the corner of our dining room sits an antique blue cabinet that was found as is.  We store our glassware and liquor in it.  I’ve had the boho peace sign hanging I made there since Christmas.  I love it so much right there that I haven’t moved it.  On top of the cabinet I added a painting my friend Kelly gave me when she visited as well as a pair of Anthro candlesticks I bought on clearance years ago.  I filled them with ombre effect candles I made at the Yankee Candle flagship store this past Fall.Boho Peace Hanging, Green Glass Candlesticks, Vintage Sailboat PaintingPinThe dining room and kitchen open to one another with our large industrial island serving as a division of space.Eclectic Dining Room with Sarape on bench, industrial island dividing spacesPinBecause of this openness, the colors flow from one space into the other, and I’ve used the same white wall color to unify.

Eclectic Dining Room Open to Kitchen in blues and greens, black and whitePin
Industrial kitchen islandPinAnd of course, we added a bouquet of peonies to bring in some color, other than blue, and fresh flowers make everything better.  I love keeping flowers from the garden in our house all summer long.  Next year we hope to add a cutting garden.Jar of peonies on kitchen islandPinIn the kitchen I made just a few simple summer changes since our previous Spring tour.  I had already added plants to the open shelving at that moment, but I’ve since brought more plant life in as well as some summery art.Eclectic Kitchen with Navy Cabinets and aqua recycled glass backsplashPin

PinPinPinPinPinPinPinPin

That minty green file cabinet was a purchase 3 years ago when we were just renovating our kitchen, and I still love the character it adds.  A couple of weeks ago, Emmy and I were shopping at Chartreuse & Co when she spotted a vintage style “ice cream” sign and begged me for it.  (We love our ice cream in this house!). I am a sucker, so naturally we brought it home.  It points towards the refrigerator and freezer, where of course, our ice cream is located.
Vintage Style Ice Cream SignPin

On the open shelving, I added a beautiful hand painted watercolor I won on an instagram giveaway from Mika Harmony.  I was able to select the background I wanted and choose my own hand lettered phrase, so naturally I chose blues and greens, and I had her paint “Ice Cream Fixes Everything.”  It adds a nice pop of brighter color to the shelves.Eclectic Kitchen in blues- open shelvingPin

Kitchen shelves styled in blues and greens for SummerPin

The open shelving in the kitchen provides us with tons of storage and also an opportunity for some seasonal decorating.Eclectic Kitchen in Blues and GreensPinThis space is the one of the most used and lived in spaces of our home and I am so glad that I made choices in colors that suit me and my family.  It’s also the first space most people see as they enter through that door off to the side… see?Eclectic Kitchen in Blues and GreensPin

PinPinPinPinPinPinPinPin

And since the dogs do spend much time in the dining room and kitchen, they are thrilled to have a cool tile floor on hot summer days.Catcher relaxing on Cool tile floorPin

A new addition to this space has come into being because of my frequent trips to the farmer’s market.  I have become plant-obsessed and am actually doing a great job most of my plants are still alive.  I found a bunch of terra cotta pots at a yard sale a couple years back, and I’ve filled them and lined my window sill.  I plan to wrap them around on the other sill as well, but I’m gonna need more plants first. 😉  Emmy created that little planter with hens & chicks and Spanish moss at a birthday party last week and it was the perfect addition.Terra Cotta Pots in Window SillPinI love pots that have been naturally weathered over time, and I’ve mixed in a gold leaf flower pot as well.Weathered Terra Cotta Pots & Gold Leaf Pot in window sillPinBefore we had out of the kitchen, Snowball wants to make her appearance as well.  She needs a grooming, but we sure do love her going all free style on us.  And not to fear, our old man Jake is still with us, but he’s been napping on his bed in the corner of the dining room this entire time.  Snowball in KitchenPinWhile the kitchen is the most rustic space we have, largely due to its use and function, our living room is one of the more formal spaces, but it still has a very relaxed feel to it.  I am not one for formal and love my home to be welcoming and cozy to all.  In this space, I’ve combined modern and vintage touches, as well as comfortable textures to create this feel.Eclectic Boho Living RoomPin

PinPinPinPinPinPinPinPin

I laugh that our living room has “his and hers” sofas because I love my vintage blue babe, and Chris loves his West Elm modern gray boy.  While we often sit on opposing couches with a child snuggled with each of us for family night, there are often times that I can be found curling up with Chris on the man couch.  Funnily enough, he stays off of mine though.

For the summer, I’ve gone all indigo with the pillows on the man couch.Indigo pillows on gray sofaPin

And on my own sofa I’ve kept the same pillows, but added a Mexican blanket.Vintage Navy Sofa in Eclectic Boho Living RoomPinHere’s a better view so you can see the blanket… blue, naturally

PinPinPinPinPinPinPinPin

This space looks slightly empty-ish at the moment because I’ve moved most of our houseplants outside for the season, so that they can flourish.  I did keep a few in here so it wouldn’t be lacking in life!

I recently styled the mantle with some cacti I found at Silk & Burlap, but for the summer I added a couple vases which are currently filled with white peonies from our garden.Black Fireplace and Modern Boho Mantle with Fringe, Cacti, white peoniesPin

On the left is a crocheted vase my parents gave me for Christmas.Cactus, Fringe, crocheted Vase, Vintage Books on Black Fireplace MantlePinAnd on the right I used the vase I showed you yesterday for Thrift Score Thursday.Cactus, Fringe, Peonies in white on black fireplace mantlePinI just love the details on this vase, and of course the peonies can’t be beat, and they make our house smell utterly divine!Vintage Vase in White Gold BotanicalPinSo now I just have one more room I want to share with you, and that’s our master bedroom.  I recently showed you its latest update with our new ceiling fan that has made a world of difference.Eclectic Modern Boho Master Bedroom in White, Wood, GoldPin

PinPinPinPinPinPinPinPin

Since then, I really haven’t changed much, but I did add a little vase of peonies to my own nightstand.Modern Boho Master Bedroom in White & Wood & GoldPin

I love that you can spy the bouquet in the mirror’s reflection.Modern Boho Master Bedroom in White, Wood, GoldPin

That’s all I have to share today as the other 50 percent of my house was just a hair shy of photo-ready status.  A hair, piles of strewn laundry, and wads of dug fur shy.

Next week I will be back to share my porch with you as well, which happens to be my favorite summer hangout so I hope you will come back and check it out.

Now make sure you visit today’s tours as well as all of the fabulousness from the rest of the week.  Here are some of the sneak peeks from today (myself,A Designer at Home, Suburban Bitches, and

    I love the little cacti on your mantle. I’ve been noticing cacti everywhere and want to find some cool ones for my house. I can’t keep many real varieties alive as I live in Missouri but I can enjoy the fake ones. Beautiful home. Love all the pops of blue and the dogs are cute too! I got nail polish on my parents’ table when I was little and it’s still there too, some 25+ years later. ?

    You do such a fabulous job with collecting items that have stories. I love that. I think that’s where I miss at my house. For example, the ice cream print … we are ice cream crazies over here as well but I don’t have a story to connect to an object. The crocheted mason jar cozy – another story. The handpainted vase from a friend – a story. I love that.

    I really love your whole house! The entryway with the handpainted wall and the live edge shelf might be my favorite but then again, I don’t know. The living room with the pipe shelves, mantle, couch and pillows… adore it everytime I see it.

    Hi there

    I have just found your blog and thoroughly enjoyed having a nosy at your fabulous home. However, I have a question ….. I noticed that you have open shelves in your kitchen, even above your stove, and just wondered if this might prove to be any sort of safety issue? As I’m currently in the process of constructing my own new kitchen, and would like to have open shelves, I’d be grateful if you’d let me know if there have been any drawbacks to the shelves being over the stove. Any advice you can send my way would be terrific.

    Warm wishes

      hi judi- sorry for the late response! i have been on a bit of a break. we have not had any issues but i think it’s one of those things that is a case by case basis- we have lots of windows and the kitchen is open to the dining room so there’s more room for air to move. but i think it’s more of a question for a professional contractor. 🙂

    Hi Cassie – I know this post was done awhile ago. I love the open shelves above the stove. I want to do this but people tell me not to because it will all get too dirty and be really gross. You have had this in your house now I am sure for awhile. Have you kept them. Any concerns with things getting really dirty?

    Would love to hear your thoughts

    Thanks

      HI Jennifer! I’ve had open shelving for years (in my previous kitchen, too) and I have never had that so-called problem. i do dust them once a week but even so, they aren’t really dirty. We keep our shelves filled with everyday things that we use and that helps, too.
