easy summer decorating changes

Summer has unofficially begun and I love it. The hot weather, beach trips, flip flops, and a much needed tan! I like to add a little summer loving’ to our home too. We don’t go too crazy but there are two things I do to add a lighter, brighter more summery feel to our home.

First, I change out our decorative pillows. I love pillows and there are so many cute options out there that can really change the feel of a room for very little money. The other thing I do is change some of the artwork in our home. I don’t take everything off the walls but I do have a few pieces that I change for the seasons. This is another inexpensive way to change the look of a room instantly. If you’re looking to add a little summer touch to your home, try these 2 easy changes.

Along with changing out your pillows, here are some art prints I designed that can add some summer fun to your home. They’re only $3.99 each and you can download and print them yourself or download them and take the files to a local copy center like Staples or Kinkos and they can print them for you. They’re all 8 x 10″ and can be framed in a standard frame, matted and framed larger, or hung on a cork board or refrigerator.
