Summer Tablescape {It’s All Set}

Posted on June 8, 2023 by Julie

Happy day, school is out!

The arrival of June means the lazy days of summer break are here. Almost.

We have a big project going on in our backyard that I’m excited to share with you soon. I had hoped it would have been done by now, but with all the rain we have experienced here in Texas, our project has taken weeks longer than expected so our backyard isn’t looking so lovely right now.

As a result, today’s summer tablescape that I’m sharing as part of the monthly, “It’s All Set” tablescape series, is indoors — not out on my back patio as I had hoped.

But, that’s okay, because even though it wasn’t what I planned I love how it turned out.

I wanted to create a table using what I already have, yet make it feel fresh and airy like summer. (Now that I think about it, however, it’s rarely “fresh and airy” during a Texas summer – ha!) (more…)

Summer Dining Room Decor {bHome Summer Open House}

Posted on June 18, 2015 by Julie

My husband and I like to look at homes that are for sale. We explore new neighborhoods, new builders and we even take in some open houses for existing homes. Sometimes we fancy moving to a smaller home and want to see what’s out there. Other times we just like to see what kind of homes are being built in our area.

When we drive the family through a new neighborhood my son usually rolls his eyes and says something like, “We’re not going to stop and walk through a house are we?” While my daughter is usually more enthusiastic and says, “Hey, let’s stop and see a house!”

I have a feeling you all are more like my daughter and are enthusiastic about home tours.

Today, I’m inviting you all in to stop and see some houses with me — including mine.

The bHome Summer Open House tour has been going all week long and continues today and through tomorrow. (more…)

Outdoor Patio Shelving

Posted on June 12, 2015 by Julie

Summer is now in full swing at our house. The kids are out of school and I’m busy trying to juggle having fun with getting a few things done around the house. (I’ll be sharing more about that soon.)

For now, I’m just popping in to show you the latest addition to my back patio.

I have needed outdoor patio shelving like this for a long time and I finally found something the right size and at a decent price so I bought it. (more…)

Summer on the Front Porch

Posted on May 15, 2015 by Julie

Texas is getting drenched.

The weather is much cooler and wetter than usual and we still have rain in our forecast every day this week and next. It seems like summer may not make it here this year, but I know better.

Soon the sweltering heat will be here and we will all be wishing we could get some of our spring rains back.

Because of all the precipitation I haven’t gotten much work done outside, but I have managed to get my front porch all spruced up for summer.
