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.
