Our Summer Home Tour 2017

Welcome friends, and thank you for stopping in to check out our home!

I'm thrilled to be part of the 2017 Summer Home Tour hosted by Marty @

A Stroll Thru Life, a big thank you to her for organizing 30 bloggers to share their homes

this week. If you're stopping by from Christy's @ Our Southern Home, I'm sure you

enjoyed her beautiful home!

If you're new here I live in Denver and share our 1938 cottage style home with

Mr. Simple, our teenage son and spoiled fur babies. Come in and take a peek.

Living Room

I'm still smitten with our blush paint and kept it pretty simple by changing out some

artwork and accessories for summer, and of course, bringing in lots of greenery from

our yard.

I like adding something a little edgy to keep the pink paint from looking too sweet.

The bold tribal pillow with a black leather pattern is perfectly unexpected. I found

it at one of my favorite etsy pillow shops!

I have an addiction to fun chairs and have quite the collection, but always fall back

to bringing these unique cane chairs back in for summer. I love the contrast against the

smooth white campaign chest.

Dining Room

Surprise! I'd mentioned a few times that the green paint in our dining room was fun for
awhile, but I was ready for a change. At certain times of day it looked neon with the bright
southern exposure and I'd walk by and cringe! I chose the same Benjamin Moore Queen Anne,
as I have in the living room and it feels SO much better!

I found the chippendale style chairs on Craigslist awhile back and still haven't

decided whether or not to paint them, which is keeping me from reupholstering the seats.

I love the wood, but wonder if it would be prettier if there were more contrast with

the table. What do you guys think?

These small boxwoods were a steal from Walmart's garden section last summer.

I brought them in for the winter and they're still going strong. I trimmed them up

to get a more topiary form.

My favorite time of day, early evening when the sun is shining through our

french doors the blush paint takes on a pretty glow.

Family Room

I think we should have a challenge - can anyone do a home tour without adding a new
pillow?!! Haha! A super simple pillow change up and that's it for our family room.
One day when I was cruising through Hobby Lobby I noticed the zebra print fabric on the
clearance rack for a crazy price and made the pillows. The blush pillows are from Home Goods
and are the perfect pieces to bring the color into our family room.
