Home Decorating For Summer
Summer is the perfect time of year to wear your true patriotic colors. This is the time of year to enjoy watermelon, fried chicken, corn on the cob, and apple pie. It is the time of year when days are long, nights are hot, and watching fireflies light up the night sky is one of the many joys that should not be forgot. Summer home decorating styles should keep all of these things in mind and so much more.
Sunflowers are an excellent place to begin when it comes to summer decorating. They make an excellent statement and immediately (for many) bring to mind sunshine and summertime. The bright yellow of these flowers is a great accent for almost any room in the home and they are quite common in the silk form, as they have experienced some degree of popularity in recent years. This means you can enjoy the beauty of these sunflowers summer after summer if that is your wish.
Baskets are also a great thing to collect for summertime decorating. You can place some of the beautiful sunflowers in baskets throughout the house for added effect. Baskets can also be used to tame the clutter, hide the bills, and hold the utensils in the kitchen. These are quite versatile and usable in almost every room in the house. Some even use baskets in the bathroom in order to hold hand towels and/or wash clothes. Baskets also transition well into other seasons if you elect to change the liners or add seasonally appropriate ribbons to the exterior of the baskets.
If you are handy with the paint brush some excellent summer decorating ideas include painting old wooden tables and chairs white and sponging on either apples or watermelons according to your fancy. A small round table with a couple of chairs can make an excellent (and often inexpensive) addition to a sunroom or breakfast nook. Of course you could also stencil on some sunflowers, sunshine, or stick figures playing ball. Whatever strikes your fancy would be a great addition to this clever home decorating idea.
If you’d like a little sizzle to your summer theme try going for a Moroccan nights theme in your home. Mosaics candle holders and wall sconces coupled with a few large pillows in rich fabrics can greatly enhance this atmosphere without breaking the piggy bank in the process. Candles and indirect lighting further enhance the mood as well as incense burning in the background.
Others prefer to lend their home decorating skills for summertime to the exteriors of their homes. This is often accomplished by creating an outdoor living area. Even most mass retailers are getting in on the profits that can be had by creating an elegant exterior living area for most families. Gone are the days when plastic chairs were adequate for the demands of consumers. Today’s outdoor living area is filled with elegant and element friendly furnishings that appeal to many different design styles and tastes.
In addition to the many wonderful furnishing options for exterior living areas many families are choosing to incorporate outdoor fireplaces in order to make the living area livable during other times of year than summer as well as outdoor cooling systems that help families keep their cool while enjoying the great outdoors during summer time. By creating an atmosphere outside your home where you can enjoy the summer you are making the most of the space that is available to you and bringing a good bit of the cooking outside which often helps keep energy costs down as well.
Summertime is a great time for home decorating for those who are inclined to let their imaginations run wild. This is one time of year when most people can remember what it felt like to be a kid out of school and relish the memories. Capitalize on those fond memories and incorporate them into your decor for an amazing appeal.

My dad let me do an actual mural on my wall, what I did was I borrowed a projector, drew what I wanted onto a clear plastic paper things and then projected the image onto my wall. I did a rendering of Joan of Arc. This was kind of expensive and a lot of work, so some simpler things for pencil and paper drawings are:
Yourself in manga
Illustrating your favorite scene from a book
I'll think of more and edit.
she needs help sounds depressed from loosing job and is using you for support
you have to tell her you have know life and need to see your friends and she needs to see hers

We recently moved and were able to start fresh in every room. If this smmer home is by the beach you could always do the standard sea color of light blues, green, creams. But our daughters room has 3 peachy/pink walls and 1 white wall that we decorated with greens and pinks and creams, turned out beautifully. kind of using the colors of a rose throughout all stages, from the stem to the light color of the bud, the deeper color at the end of the petals…worked great. You should try that!
I was at a park yesterday and saw a very young iris with white and creamy centers, then pale purple, the tips almost an indigo. If you go to a flower shop and find a flower you fall in love with, use it for your inspiration and you are sure to end up with a femine room.
another option is lookat an eye makeup compact, all the colors blend nicely and work with room schemes as well.

I had my parents 50th. in their back yard and they had gravel not grass and it was really nice so the driveway will be fine. You won't notice it once you get it all set up. Now if you check Craig's List there are always round table clothes for sale. Brides are selling their stuff after the wedding.Here in Oklahoma I see them all the time. You could even buy then and have them send them to you and you pay shipping.Another idea, a restaurant in your area can rent the 5 you need if you ask the manager..Now back to Craig's List, I always find the pretty runners that go across the table too so there you go.
Skip the cherry bombs,bottle rockets,incense and candles .
They're all MAJOR fire hazards !
A barn can go up in flames and be totally destroyed in less than 15 minutes . NO KIDDING !! I've seen it happen !
Use white/clear Christmas lights ,they look cool,provide a warm light and give off plenty of light to read and play games.
Instead of using a battery clock/alarm you can use a wind up clock
(it's greener)
Your potted herbs and veggies won't do well growing in a barn, they need full sun.
I don't know about keeping any snacks in the barn, you will only attract mice,rats and bugs .
Your list looks great ( EXCEPT the fire hazards ) .
I think all you need are some pencils and pens for writing and some Christmas lights .
Have fun, be safe .
