Summer House Tour

August 18, 2014 by Angie 14 Comments

     Woohoo! Something special is happening today! It’s SUMMER HOUSE TOUR time and I have teamed with a whole group of blogging friends for a very special House Tour… Canadian edition!

We are all sharing our homes decor for summer to inspire you and showcase some of the amazing talent that we have right here in Canada!
Please make sure that you go visit these amazing homes throughout the week! You will find links to all of the other amazing homes on the tour at the bottom of the post so you can visit each and every one!
I have a special little tour of my home designed for you!
Sound like rocking pajamas to you?  Oh good!
The first thing  you will see when you visit our home is our front porch which I just refreshed this summer with some lovely new thrifty finds! I love having a welcoming vignette for guests!
Our small but cozy kitchen which is the next thing you will see after passing by the front door.
And here is our very simple dining area as it looked for a Mother’s Day lunch.
And the next stop is our back deck…which is our very favorite spot in the summer. 
We love entertaining out here.
I adore entertaining guests and serving snacks.
The back deck is also where I attempt to grow my green thumb.
 I refreshed an old sad looking metal stand to make a hostess station for our back deck! I love the pretty pop of yellow!
 
Our living room is small but cozy, and you can always finds shades of blue & turquoise in here.
 
 
Nothing says home more than a sleeping little pet, am I right?
 
I just finished re-decorating our master bedroom, which included sewing a project with some vintage fabric.
I love coming in here every night.
 
And my one little coup d’etat  this year…creating this reading corner for under $100.
My 17 year old teen daughter’s room is a project that we finished last summer. She likes things fresh, clean and minimal. She also painted this room completely by herself.
My 13 year old son’s room is something we just finished recently. The headboard is a DIY project that we made for under $40.
 
 
Thank you SO much for visiting!
 
To continue on the tour, please visit these amazing bloggers and their incredible homes every day this week!
