Summer Home Tour

Hi there! Today, I’m joining 23 other amazing bloggers by sharing our summer home tour! 😀

Really, we keep things pretty simple around the WGC. I love to move things around, but I definitely don’t completely redecorate the house for each season, expect for maybe Christmas. Instead, I like to make small changes, adding flowers, bringing the outdoors in, and enjoying the fresh fruits and vegetables that are so plentiful this time of year.

Truth be told, that’s one my very favorite things about summer.

Our kitchen shelves haven’t changes much since spring. I just love them and I can’t make myself change it up. Odd for me, I know, but it’s true.

I’m pretty sure those limes have instantly made me thirsty for limeade, which happens to be a summer staple around here, along with sweet tea.

It really is all about family!  From BBQ’s, to roasting marshmallows by the fire and hosting out of town family, I absolutely look forward to summer! 😀

And don’t forget to stop by and visit these other ladies and their lovely homes. Just wow. I’ve been so inspired by each and every one of them!

  1. Gorgeous! I am impressed at the lack of dust! I have recognized the scenery in some of your pictures…I grew up in western Colorado (Loma) and I remember the dust! All the time! 🙂

  2. Your kitchen and family room area are so pretty, and you have so many unique accessories! Love the pledge of allegiance towel and the USA pillow. Perfect for summer! I am completely in love with your measuring cups and that little pitcher!! If you get a minute, could you tell me where you found them? They would fit in perfectly in my kitchen.
    Thank you for sharing your beautiful home. 🙂

    1. Hi Kelly! THANK YOU so much for sweet comment! I bought the measuring cups and pitcher at World Market. I love them! 😀

  3. Shayna, Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful home and treasures! I loved being apart of this tour with you and the other girls. 🙂 Your wall art above your kitchen table is adorable (enjoy this life) and your collections are gorgeous! I love the dishes that remind you of your grandma… so special. Hugs and Happy Sunday! xoxo

  4. This is my first time visiting your beautiful blog. Thank you so much for the home tour. I love your black kitchen cabinets! Wonderful job with your photographs!

  5. What a beautiful home you have made! I must say though… I LOVE the Courier and Ives dishes (your grandmother’s dishes) especially… my mum had a set we used daily while growing up and whenever I see them it brings back such treasured memories!

  6. I just found your blog through the summer home tours. You have a beautiful home.

    I especially like your kitchen layout & the cabinets. Would you mind sharing the brand & stain color of your cabinets? I really, really like the color.

    I want to replace our current white cabinets with more white cabinets but, this time my husband wants wood cabinets. I think I read in one of your posts you also wanted white cabinets while your husband wanted wood cabinets.

  7. Could you tell me what color stain you put on the cabinets? It looks black. I am thinking of doing that in mine. Just need the color. Thanks

  8. Hi, your home is beautiful! Do you mind telling me what the name of your white paint is called? I am in the process of building a new home and love the clean white walls. The picture of your kitchen is the first that i have seen that looks like the picture I have in my head of my new kitchen. Thank you for sharing this, it helped me so much in trying to get my husband to see what I have been wanting.
    Thanks again!

    1. Thank you so much! I’m so glad this was helpful for you! The paint color is Super White by Benjamin Moore. It’s my favorite white. 🙂
