My New Favorite Tray and Summer Home Tours

I was all set to write a splurge vs. steal post on this nautical tray I found at Target.  Pottery Barn sold a similar tray last summer and I’m positive I saw it in my local store, but I couldn’t find it online.  I coveted the tray, but I really didn’t need another tray. I also didn’t want to pay the asking price.  The Threshold line at Target came out with a similar version complete with rope handles and I finally dove in and bought it.  I’m glad I took the plunge and was inspired by one of the table centerpieces I shared here to fill it with some of my seashells.

I’m still in the process of decorating for summer and was inspired by several blogger’s summer home tours last week. I loved Kristin from the Hunted Interior’s Home and her cozy deck space she created.  She really has a knack for mixing styles, colors and patterns.

I also immediately loved The Nester’s Home  tour.  I love her authenticity and how she embraces imperfection.

You may be thinking decorating is easy when you have a big budget, but get ready to inspired by Donna at Funky Junk Interiors.  If you love thrift and antique shopping you will love Donna’s home and blog.

There were so many beautiful and unique homes on Gina’s Tour of Summer Homes.   I loved Gina at The Shabby Creek Cottage’s bedroom. It’s time for me to get my home organized and decorated for the summer months ahead.  I hope some of these rooms inspire you to make a few updates this summer.
