Summer is just about upon us, and our dining room is getting its' simple summer makeover. Seashells, peonies, roses...and some shabby chic style. I'll keep the words in this post to a minimum, since there are many photos to share:
The rustic with the elegant...
Inspired by Jeanne D'Arc Living, but holding onto my shabby chic roots...
Keeping it simple with peonies..
...and roses.
Ready to grab this wicker basket for outdoor entertaining...
...and this caddy for dining al fresco!
What a great time of year - I've been enjoying seeing your summer changes as well.
I'm sharing this post with these link parties: Feathered Nest Friday, Show and Tell Friday, Vintage Inspiration Friday and Pink Saturday.

It looks just beautiful. I like all the soft pastels with the few pops of dark wood in the chairs. I also love the paper you have lined in the back of your shelf. Gorgeous peonies too!

Everything looks great. I now know what to do with my cutlery basket. I see a ? in the making.
