No rest for the weary this week! 😉 It’s the last week of school and everyday holds a special celebration of some kind. I try to focus mostly on home decor in this space but I’ll take a moment to say how proud I am of my kids.
They aren’t perfect, but they work hard at school, seek out good friendships, and are respectful at school. They are all receiving different kinds of awards at school this week and while there is a lot more to life than recognition, I am proud of them nonetheless!
It is an incredible blessing to have good kids who truly want to please God and make good choices. I am so very thankful!
Now about that rest....maybe next week? My summer bedroom is ready for it! 😂
I’ll link everything that I can in stories for you tonight and over on my storefront too.
Happy Tuesday!
Blessings,
Robyn

One decor thing that I got a lot of requests for seeing in May is patriotic decor. Since we have a graduation party at our house next week (yay, Addy!), I haven’t put out any patriotic decor yet this year. So, I thought it would be fun to go back and see some favorite patriotic decor views from the past. Do you have a favorite?!
Since it is also #thriftingwiththegals day, I have a blog post for you with quick, easy ideas to add patriotic decorations for under $5. Perfect for entertaining and easy summer hosting! Make sure to check out the other thrifting blogs today too, from:

The younger kids and I are over on the west side of Florida for the State fine arts competition! Their choir, band, and small ensemble did great today! Tomorrow, they both have solos and drama performances; wish them luck!
Happy Friday Eve!

There’s only one thing in my summer mantel decor that isn’t second hand: i.e., from a thrift store, vintage shop, flea market, etc. Can you figure out what it is?!? Put your guess in the comment and tomorrow I’ll send a treat to the winner!
Plus, I’ll tell you where you can get it too. 😉
I hope you’re having a great week so far. Happy Tuesday!

You know I have to have a pretty bowl of shells on my coffee table for the summer, so here’s the 2025 version! I assembled it differently this year and the result is already making me excited for summer beach days!
Speaking of, the flurry of events, fine arts competitions, concerts, diorama projects, exams to help kids study for, parties, and more are all a reminder that summer break is just around the corner.
10 more days of school but who’s counting?!
Have a great weekend and Happy Mother’s Day to those of you celebrating this weekend!
Blessings,
Robyn

Midst the craziness that May brings for moms and teachers, I am ever so slowly transitioning a little bit of summer decor here and there. One of my favorite ways to add an instant touch of soft summer color to the dining room is with my thrifted sea glass!
All I did was add it to some of my existing apothecary jars for instant summer color and texture! Plus, I love how the sea glass ties in perfectly with the table runner I had out for spring...so I’ll be leaving that too!
Stay tuned over the next few weeks. I’ll be sharing some of my favorite summer decorating tips for coastal and cottage styling to help you get ready for summer!
The countdown is most definitely on in our house. 13 school days left, recitals, two fine arts competitions for state, an out-of-state wedding, class parties, and a VERY excited 8th grade graduate all coming up! See why I said the summer decor is coming slowly?! 😂😂
Happy Tuesday!

Robyn

I’ve had so many requests for how to transition from spring to summer decor and the timing is perfect because I’m working on that in my own home too!
Here are a few things I’ve been doing this week and maybe it will spark an idea or two for you also!
The main focus of the week, decor-wise, has been gathering the finishing touches for the junior and seniors’ formal banquet event happening tomorrow! It’s been so fun to work with the junior class girls and tomorrow is the big day! I’ll try to share some of the decor in stories. It’s going to be so beautiful and loads of fun!
Happy Thursday!

This post is for anyone who loves pillows as much I do!
I’ve been obsessed…not even sorry…with refreshing some of my pillows and pillow covers that I’ve had for many years. And yet, there are some old faithfuls that I just couldn’t part with!
Here’s a mix of the old and new, all of which I’ll be using to transition from spring right into summer!
Speaking of, I’ve had lots of requests for summer decor so stay tuned! I’m getting started on it and will be sharing a lot more very soon! You’ll see all of these throw pillows again, so if you need some easy transitional pieces, check out stories for the pillow links!
Happy Tuesday!
