Yay for summer! I thought it was about time I jumped on the Blogger wagon & spiced up the kitchen & dining area with some 'Summer Essentials' ! I finished the outside summer tour http://thequaintsanctuary.blogspot.com/2014/06/summer-flowers.html & http://thequaintsanctuary.blogspot.com/2014/04/back-patio-renovation.html our summer patio ,but was slacking in the inside!!! I added some lemons around the table centerpiece & a cute little vintage white flower dish . These little splashes of summer coordinate with the nifty chalkboard print on the buffet cart. Whats summer without some ice cold lemonade? I also DIY-ed a cute little sign my husband found & was just laying in our garage waiting for me to spruce up!! It's an old 'Chain restaurant' wine sign that I made my {own}..perfect for summer ;)! Just a few little tweaks for a fresh, yet rustic summer look!
Lemonade is a summer essential in our home!
The decorative paper straws were purchased @ Michaels $4!
I thought the white porcelain dish with flowers on the lid looked so cute next to the potted flowers!!
Our wine list ;)!!
--->>> Did someone say Homemade Sangria?!
I added the black tag & wrote "Summer Favorites '14". I also took a silver non acid pen &highlighted the border & a black one to hit the corners! I added a piece of burlap & hung it on the side of one of our pantries ! This project was near free!
Happy summer decorating!
