Hello sweet friends. Welcome to A Slow Summer Home Tour. This inspiring hop is hosted by my dear friend Marty of A Stroll Thru Life. If you are coming over from It All Started With Paint may I say, “Welcome”! Wasn’t Linda’s home so lovely?
A Slow Summer Home Tour
This year cheery summer decor has been slowly added to several areas of the house. Soft shades of green appear in each area. On the front porch bright pops of red join in the fun.
The Living Room
This will be the last time you will see this orange brick hearth. We are getting ready to do a soft white German smear treatment.
Until then artwork with various blues is used to try and soften the look.
I have shared this scandalous sea nymph before. She was given to us by my husband’s Grandma Joyce who purchased her in the 60s from Italy.
From this angle, you can see a bit of the sunroom.
It recently was transformed into a calm oasis. You can see all the soothing touches HERE.
The Dining Room
Green reigns supreme in the dining room.
I find green so cooling in the summer.
Seagrass placemats add a summer touch too.
Our spring garden produced the various blooms on the table.
Vintage green dishware is such fun!
The Master Bedroom
In the master bedroom shades of green are joined with a copious amount of golden yellow. We recently moved the French settee to the foot of the bed.
The green and yellow quilt and pillows came from Target. The white coverlet and yellow throw were found at Marshall’s.
The necklace holder was made from an old window. You can see the tutorial HERE.
I hope you have enjoyed this summer tour. Up next is the amazing Julia from Cuckoo4Design. Having lived in Germany myself, I always adore that she includes touches of her culture.

I love the daybed in your calm oasis so much. Lovely tour!
I love how you have transformed this house into such a beautiful and welcoming home. Your living room is stunning and I can’t wait to see the fireplace redone. Your touches of green and yellow throughout the house are perfect for summer. Thanks so much for joining the tour again this season. Always fun to visit and see what’s new.
Your home always looks beautiful. Loving the greens in the dining room..
The flowers are pretty too.
I can’t wait to see the fireplace. It’s going to be beautiful!
Did you make the jewelry holder in your bedroom? Looks interesting. I make jewelry and need a good way to display it.
So many lovely rooms to tour! I love the blue carpet in your sunroom and that daybed is so pretty!
Beautiful summer home tour Laura! Can’t wait to see your fireplace transformation!!
Oh, I think your German schmear treatment on the fireplace will look lovely and really brighten up that wall in keeping with the rest of your bright and welcoming room! I love the piece of art over your fireplace and can already imagine it on the lighter surface!
