Our home lends itself to summer in it’s normal state because it’s light and bright, has lots of pops of pink and has an embarrassing amount of house plants/flowers! I’ll take you through room by room, staring with the front porch. This is a considered a “room” for us in the summer because we spend so much time out here on the rocking chairs watching the kids play, hosting friends for drinks, sipping morning coffee, etc. Simple and classic works for me every time.
When you walk in our front door, our dining room is to your immediate right. We don’t use this space a ton, but I still love having a more formal dining room. It’s the only room in the house that stays clean! I added some fun pillows to the otherwise neutral table/chairs and some faux leaves to the center of the table. This small Fiddle Leaf Fig likes it’s home in this bright corner.
The vintage bar cart is the real star of the show in this room. It’s one of my all time favorite finds for our home. There are so many bar carts floating around, and I love that this one is unique. Those pieces are special to me. And it’s fun to change it up for different seasons!
Just beyond the dining room is the living room. We have a very open concept, so one room leads to another. I kept it simple in here, with lots of blue/white. Greenery and plants are everything to me. I think they make or break a space! The more the better in my opinion!
I’m loving the neutral feel in here. Textured baskets, throw pillows, and fresh yard cuttings keep it casual. Nothing in our home is fussy. I want a home to feel cozy and lived in. We like to throw our feet up onto the coffee table and toss the throw pillows around and lounge around in here. We want everyone who comes into our home to feel they can do the same.

You have such a beautiful home and I love your tour.
I love your home, and I love all of your plants too. That touch of pink that you add is perfect. The front porch is gorgeous, love the accents of black. I think my favorite spot would be that wonderful little chair in the corner with that fabulous pink foot stool. Perfection. Thanks so much for joining the tour, your home is stunning.
Love your living room rug! Trying to find it online. Is there any kind of tag on the back? Usually they have the manufacture sticker on the back. Thanks!
Hi Mary! It's from Homegoods (Martha Stewart Brand). I've tried finding it online to source and I can't find it anywhere. That's the problem with those Homegoods finds!
I bought rugs from there also and usually there's a sticker on the back of one of the corners. Just wondering if there was one of those on yours. If you wouldn't mind peaking behind the corners of yours, I would really appreciate it! I've been on the hunt for a rug for a while now and this one would be perfect!! Thanks Andrea!! I'm local and love your blog!
First of all, I love your pose on the front door – happy, relaxed and oh-so-welcoming, your are pretty Andrea! Second, I love your entire home, the pops of pink, black and white is just fabulous, and jealous of your vintage bar cart, styled for party-ready summer shindigs no doubt! As always, honored to share this home tour with you, Cheers!
