Greetings!

Claire on Hammock?Don't you LOVE summer!?
 
Read on for some great ideas for creating an enchanted summer vacation feeling in YOUR home...
 
Enchanted Porch-Time!
 
 
Here's my Enchanted Home prescription for welcoming the sensations of summer into your home...
 
1. HAPPY CABANA STRIPES!
Summer Stripe PillowRecover your pillows in a fun cabana stripe like I just did. My seamstress Renee (see below) created new zippered covers for me that are easy to pop off for cleaning!
 
 
 
2.
SENSUOUS BREEZES!
Cotton SheersTo me, 100% cotton sheers are the quintessence of summer -- warm evening breezes move the pure cotton fabric in a particularly delicious way.
 
Here's an affordable option from Lands' End. Click here to check them out.

Or, have my seamstress Renee (see below) whip you up a few panels in the perfect color for your space.
 
 
 
 
3.
YUMMY BAREFOOTIN'!
RugBrightly colored chenille area rugs whisper sweet summer to your bare feet. I love this inexpensive Sprout Green cotton chenille rug from Target. Try one on your covered porch or patio, too. For uncovered outdoor spaces, take a look at these rain-safe polypropelene outdoor rugs from Crate & Barrel.
