  • White dishes are surrounded by shells, coral and aqua and various shades of blue accents.
  • A simple grouping of shells and coral on a blue plate.
  • A single white flower bud looks so fragile next to the beautiful patina on this pitcher.
  • I didn't have enough aqua accent pieces so I made some aqua jars to complete the look.

Adding Aqua and Texture for Summer

Summer is around the corner and in order to set the stage, I changed out the accent colors on my hutch. Nothing says summer like shells and coral with a splash of aqua. #summer

  • Here is the chair after a lot of TLC! I used ASCP, distressed the edges, and finished with Annie Sloan clear wax on the painted sections and semi-gloss poly on the seat.
  • The chair back had beautiful wood veneer, but was badly chipping.
  • We repaired the chair with wood putty and sanded smooth after it dried.
  • I then painted the chair (the the exception of the seat) using Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in Old White. I also used the inside (or inverse) of a bird stencil and painted around it, removing the stencil while the paint was still wet.

  • I purchased the vinyl tablecloth at Walmart. I thought the checks with the inset stars was perfect for the holiday.
  • I decided to keep the place settings simple. 
A woven charger from Goodwill, plain white dinner plates from Ikea, flatware from Family Dollar and napkins from Walmart.
  • For the centerpiece I placed white petunias into a planter from Ikea.
  • A wonderful way to start summer! 
Outside enjoying the sunshine and good food!
