It's Summer Time

I decided to do a summer vignette on my favorite surface to play with, my buffet.  This thing has turned into my own little decorating lab. A small house makes you get creative with what you have. It's a fun challenge to try and keep things interesting but not cluttered and busy in 1200 square feet.  I kind of wanted it a little beachy but not in a typical way. I drove everybody nuts moving and changing things about a million times.

 I moved my lamps from the side tables and added them to the buffet. The hydrangeas are courtesy of my garden's Nikko Blue and Blue Wave shrubs. I added sea glass to a vintage mason jar that I found at a thrift store, love the zinc lid. I added sea shells to a milk glass bowl and placed them on my bumble bee tray along with a piece of coral. I bought the lantern at the Christmas Tree Shoppe. It's deep and wide and as soon as I saw it I knew it would be perfect for making vignettes or an assemblage. I added coral, shells, a sea fan and a candle inside.

Hydrangeas and seashells remind me of my childhood growing up at the Jersey Shore. Thanks for looking! I'll be joining these ladies this week;
