Ever since Vicki mentioned metallic Converse, I’ve been seeing silver.
I usually consider it a color for wintertime, to match the ice and snow of the season. It must be the 100+ degree weather that's kicked in recently that’s making silver so cool and refreshing and suddenly perfect for warm weather…
These finds definitely say summer, don’t you think?
Silver flips… this must be the easiest way to add some chic to ANY outfit!
This isn’t really silver… the color is “Fools Gold.” But it’s a beautiful shade and matches everything just the same… plus it’s large enough to fit a beach towel, a good book ,a massive bottle of water and sunscreen… all the summer essentials!
Pretty.
Useful. And pretty.
Lanterns are a definite necessity for dining al fresco! Love how they get a modern makeover in shiny chrome.
Are words even necessary for this Mexican tooled tin headboard? W.O.W. Simple white sheets would look so amazing against this beauty.
This Parisian Tea Cart side table gets an A+, year round. Shelves, wheels, pretty silver finish… high achiever in form and function!
Did somebody say Indian Summer? I’m picturing both this eastern-inspired table and ottoman looking perfect on a patio with some mesquito netting and a cool breeze…
Usually when I’m feeling the urge to indulge in a color or idea, I tend to do it on an “accessories size scale”…. it’s much easier to change out later without completely redoing a space or spending too much.
My interest in tooled metal has officially become an all out obsession. They are truly works of art and epitomize “craftsmanship.”
On a less glitzy scale, galvanized metal will always suggest a relaxed country lifestyle.
Organizing and accessorizing with one design detail. Isn’t this desk organizer so cute and inspiring?
Inexpensive and multi-functional, look at all these wonderful uses for silver buckets…
Perhaps the best use of them is for your summertime barbeques and get-togethers with friends and family. We’ve all got to stay hydrated and we might as well serve in style!
