Summer Hutch Decor

I find it very awkward to begin and end blog posts.
I feel like I say the same thing every single time.
Honestly.

Do you have that problem, too?

I mean after all these years of blogging, 
what can I really say that's different 
and not been said before?

I think I'll have to ponder that question
and see what I come up with.

Anyhoo....

I would love to share my dining room hutch with you,
since she's all decorated for Summer and 
ready for her closeup.


Ahh, the easy & carefree days of Summer!



The only thing new here is the folding ruler star.

As a kid, I can remember pinching my fingers with
 my dad's folding ruler whenever I fooled with it.
Now, I couldn't wait to get my fingers on a folding ruler
 so I could make it into a star.
I didn't even mind if my fingers got pinched in the process!

I don't know if you've noticed, but I have a fascination with stars.



A closeup collage.

Here's a breakdown of all the stuff I used:

Sailboat from Michaels.
Lantern from Ikea.
The burlap flower picture is from Hobby Lobby.
It was a yellow flower when I bought it, but
with my trusty paintbrush, I made it blue.  Heehee!
Bicycle from Kohls.
Candle holder from Target.
Bathing girl from Michaels.
Ruler from Etsy.
Starfish from Christmas Tree Shop.
I made the banner with fabric/burlap scraps I had on hand.

And that, my friends, is my Summer dining room hutch!

As always, I appreciate your visit.

  7. Oh, it looks very beachy and summery! I love the sailboat, I'm going to have check Michael's for one of those.

    Hah, yes...I sort of run out of things to say on my blog so I don't even write that much anymore. If I write a lot, I figure nobody probably reads it anyway:)

  12. Gina...your posts are always interesting and fun! Don't think, just do it!! This mantel is another winner. I was thinking I had to find out where you got the sailboat. I was just at Michael's yesterday and didn't see one!!!! And I really WANT one! The star is so neat, too! Everything. Navy is so in this year, especially in fashion. Great job! :)

    XO,

  16. Oh, Gina! This might be my favorite one yet. I had to smile and giggle when I saw the little bike. I love riding bikes better than almost anything else on earth. How cute! I love everything about this vignette, actually...the art, the color of the candle, everything!
