I cannot believe that memorial day is around the corner! Time to open windows, plant flowers, and lighten up the home. There are so many ways to bring that inviting summer feel into your space without breaking the bank. For example in the bedroom just changing everything to crisp white, adding a matelasse or coverlet in place of the a heavy duvet makes a big difference. The living room or family space a slip cover is a great choice , either one made of good Sunbrella stain and water resistant fabric or a nice quality linen that can be thrown in the washing machine ! I have Linen up in NY and I love it, just throw in the wash and put on while still slightly damp, no shrinking and minimal wrinkles! I also love fun pillows and light accessories added to rooms to instantly give them a lift. If you can roll up those heavy rugs and switch them out. Even residents of old lake camps and beach homes of yesteryear would change out the heavy oriental rugs for lighter woven rugs such as a sisal or jute. Doesn't this make you want to start editing your room! I know I do, but where do I start first? Hello, Stark carpet, I'd like to place an order!
