Guest Picks: In or Out
These are perfect for adding a little greenery in a modern and fresh way. I think they are both gorgeous + interesting and add a bit of life to any space they grace.
I'd love to serve up a summer salad in this sleek and earthy combo.
I adore these blankets. There is nothing better than a cozy blanket to snuggle up under whether you are outdoors or in, and this one fits the bill.
Adding antlers to a room always adds a bit of charm in a rustic sort of way. I love the idea of using them as a towel hook for your beach towels or even in the bathroom.
This has been on my wish list for sometime. I love the simplicity of this print and even more I love the words. Although summer is supposed to be relaxing it can be a little crazy with all the kids home from school. This print would be the perfect little something for an outdoor porch or a good reminder hung anywhere in your home.
These colorful wrought iron chairs just say "garden party." I think they would also look just right around a old wood table in a breakfast nook.
I'm kind of in love with African baskets at the moment — all sizes and all kinds. I especially like these that are handmade in Uganda. There are so many patterns and colors to choose from. They would be perfect on an outdoor table or a collection of them hung on the wall indoors, to add warmth and interest to a room. And all the while, supporting fair trade.
Yellow is a happy color. I always love to add a bit of yellow; it's modern and it just brightens things up. I love the shape of these lamps and I love bringing unexpected things like lamps for interest outside on the patio. Bring these indoors and your bringing in some sunshine.
These would be just perfect for extra outdoor seating. I'd also bring them inside and they would add whimsy and function to a playroom or child's room.
I can't get enough of these African baskets. I love this large version. It's great as a hamper but also pretty perfect to store toys and this and that (indoors or out).
These have to be the prettiest beach towels I've ever seen, and I hear they are beyond delightful to the touch. You could use these to make your lounge chair a little lovelier and then use them in the bathroom for the cooler months. A pop of pink always adds the right amount of cheer.
This outdoor rug is so pretty that I'd love to have it indoors. I think using a rug outside always make your space feel more inviting and cozy.
Iced tea is a summertime favorite and I just can't get enough of it. This beautiful hand crafted drink dispenser would not only be functional but gorgeous to display for summer gatherings, or just to make your kitchen a little prettier.
I love a little something that says a little something. A message, a reminder, a word that sends out a good vibe. And what could be better than to relax? I think it's the perfect little pick me up for your outdoor furniture or an indoor room that needs a little pop of pep.
I think this print is gorgeous (it's been on my wish list for some time). To me, it exemplifies a slower pace and a sunny happy day. I'd love to have that vibe flowing through my house. It brings the sun inside on a rainy summer day or some much need warmth on a cold winter's day.
I love the earthly feel of this table. It brings the outdoors in, or use it outside in the garden for a summer party.
Whether eating inside or out, adding a bit of playfulness to your table screams summer. I love this whale of a pitcher. It's pretty, sleek and fun all in one and is sure to spark some great conversation!
Have you ever seen such a fun and stylish picnic blanket? The seagulls will no doubt make you want to take a day trip to the sea but I think they would be just as happy in your very own backyard. I love having a family picnic at home. Also, kids love having an indoor picnic in the wintertime. How perfect would this be?
A galvanized container is a favorite of mine for greenery and flowers. But I also love using it for a barbecue or any kind of gathering as a cooler for drinks. Pretty + functional = perfect. Find more guest blogger product picks here
I love lazy summer days, or even just the idea of them. I've always wanted a hammock and this one is on the top of my list — the colors are perfect for summer and the detail of the fringe adds a bit of delicate beauty. I'd even try hanging it indoors for an eclectic reading nook.
