Hello friends! I’m so excited to {finally!!} be back blogging – it’s definitely been awhile! I’ll fill you in tomorrow as to what’s been going on, but today I’m joining in a fun summer entry way blog up with Design, Dining, and Diapers! Be sure to follow the links at the end of each post for the next home to visit. There’s lots of summer decorating inspiration to see! If you’re coming over from Fox Hollow Cottage – welcome! I’m so glad to have you drop in. 🙂
Summer is my favorite season of the year BY FAR!! After a long winter and rainy spring, I’m definitely ready for some warm, sunny weather!
Since our summer season feels so short, I try to keep things as simple as possible during the summer months so I can enjoy it as much as possible. Nobody wants to be cleaning when the sun is shining!
Most of our furniture in the entry is white so it’s easy to change things up for the different seasons. One of the easiest ways to switch things up for the summer is to put some of your favorite seasonal accessories on display. Not only does it add a nice pop of color to the space, but it also makes it easy to grab what you need on the go!
Another way to quickly add some summer to your space is to add some summer flowers or greenery. Just pop them into a vase or wall planter, and you’re good to go. I love fresh flowers, but I keep these ones faux to make things simpler. 🙂
The one new thing that I did get for the entry way this summer was a new rug. This is one of the Magnolia Home rugs that I picked up from Pier One. It has beautiful creams and faded blues but I could not seem to get a good photo in this light. It really is a lot prettier in person than it looks in the photos!
The other side of the room has our shoe storage and drop zone for keys, sunglasses, wallets, etc. I also added an orchid and a little bud vase that I can add some summer clippings to.
The “mailbox” opens up and I added some Command hooks in there for some extra storage.
I hope you enjoyed my little tour and summer entry way decorating ideas. If you’re new around here feel free to follow along on any of my social media or pick up a copy of my new book, The Home Decluttering Diet!

The mailbox is really fun. The green vase is really neat.
Thanks! I loved the look of the mailbox but wanted to make it more functional. 🙂
This is such a pretty space and it’s still functional. I love that. I also love your rolling boot tray! Super cute!
Yes, that’s one of my favorites too. Just a lucky break that it totally fit under our bench!
