My Simple Summer Home Decor “Lookbook”
My Simple Summer Home Decor “Lookbook”
Hello friends! Soon summer will be coming to an end, but I didn’t want the summer to finish without sharing some of the things I’ve been up to throughout the season.
I have to admit, I’m starting to feel oh so sad about the fact that soon I’ll have to take down all of my summer decorations. Boohoo..
I really, really don’t like taking any of my decorations down once we’re done with any season honestly. I enjoy bringing them all together and keeping them out for as long as possible. So it’s kind of nice sharing them with you before going into fall and having to take them all down.
I decided to call this a “lookbook” because I know that at this point (late in August) we’re probably not thinking much about making new summer decorations. But of course many of these ideas can also be used for fall decorations by switching out the items to things like pumpkins, sunflowers, or any other fall flowers, gingham ribbons, or leaves, to mention a few fall goodies.

It’s funny that I mentioned that I love to keep things out for as long as possible because I actually shared this vase in my last blog post and surprisingly I was ready to take it apart after I was done. I did however have it out for close to two months so I guess I had plenty of time to enjoy it!
I simply replaced the yellow and white flowers with just a few smaller orange faux flowers and these tiny almost mustard yellow flowers. Precious!


For this next one I took a felt pineapple coaster that I got last year from the Dollar Tree and decided to frame it with a very inexpensive black Ikea frame and a few wooden crafting stars.
I then placed adhesive rhinestones over the framed pineapple and wooden stars. I placed them on top because they are slightly large and wouldn’t have fit under the clear part of the frame.
I finished with a large handmade bow that I attached with these sticky removable dots so as to not ruin the frame. I saw these dots on “do it on a dime” and I’ve been playing around with them since I got them. So far I like them, but a glue gun would work too.

A couple of flowers pulled off their stem and placed in a tiny glass with small rocks.


Here I’m reusing a round glass votive that I embellished last year with beads and twine. I kept this really really simple by filling it with a few wooden beads and a string of iridescent beads.
I don’t know why honestly, but the combination of wooden beads and the iridescent beads made me think of the beach when I first put this together!


Now I’m using an old soap dispenser to hold a couple of yellow faux flowers…I really love these flowers. I’ve used them over and over again and I think it’s starting to show because they are looking a bit worn but it’s not bothering me. I still love them, as well as the green leaves accompanying them 🙂


Anything with rocks seemed very summery to me this year! I say this year because who knows what I’ll think next summer.
A few beautiful rocks from the dollar store mixed in with just a few gold, mint and blue-ish marbled beads surround the base of a candle and rest on a cute little white appetizer dish. I never serve appetizers before our usual rice and beans dinner, so it only made sense when I found this dish in a random discount store last year that I had to buy it…for decorating that is.
oh how I love this next one!
A long vase filled with a layer of small white rocks, flat glass marbles, large gray rocks, and topped with a string of tiny little pearls…accompanied by a bouquet of faux pink lilies.
I can stare at these flat marbles all day.
I have a funny habit of always bringing home plastic cups when I’m out and pick up iced coffee or any other drink that comes in a clear disposable container. You know, the ones that come with a lid and make a yummy appearance everywhere once the warm weather kicks in.
I usually just use them for a few days to drink water around the house then toss them but this time around I couldn’t help but to use one for decorating.
I filled my plastic cup with small white rocks, the same rocks I used for my pink lily arrangement, and placed a stem of greenery down the center.
Surprisingly those few rocks are able to hold my stem up but if u give this one a try I would suggest using a lot more rocks because I’m finding myself needing to straighten my greenery every so often because it starts dropping to the side (face/palm moment)
On many occasions my daughter will sit with me as I’m going through my faux flowers or other crafting supplies and loves to create her own little decorations. These next two are something she put together that I thought were so so pretty and decided to leave it out by our living room window.
She dropped a few faux flowers that she removed from their stem into a mason jar and then placed the lid on it. Then she took a few loose white and turquoise flowers and connected them all to create her own flower and put that on top of a mason jar lid.
ok friends, that’s it for this one. I hope you enjoyed everything and have had an amazing summer!
Sending happy, safe, and healthy vibes your way. May God bless you and your family today and every beautiful day to come!
