Be Inspired #146: Mini Summer Home Tour

Hi Everyone, time for
  Be Inspired
The place to share all the inspiring things you've been up to this week.
Before we get this party started let's check out  some great links from last week!


Mary Alice from Chateau Chic took us on a Mini Summer Home Tour. Each time I see this amazing desk in Mary Alice's wonderful home I swoon a little. One of her favorite ways to bring in Summer is with fresh flowers, here using small containers filled with hydrangeas as accents in the Living Room...








and vintage bottles with whisp-y blooms in the kitchen .


If you haven't visited Mary Alice in a while,
 please go check out her beautiful home dressed for Summer.



Everything Mary from Home is Where the Boat Is does is worthy of a magazine layout. Here she's sharing chalkboard inspiration on the door of her wonderful Potting Shed. Love the ladder with so many garden-y elements!






Deb at Lake Girl Paints created a Tea Stained Patriotic Banner with some canvas and lot's of "smarts", replicating a Pottery Barn July 4th look.
You might not mind washing clothes in this beautiful Laundry Room Makeover  from Kimberlee at The Fancy Shack. Love the beautiful toile curtains and the lantern for lighting.



I've had "bloom envy" each time I look at Kris' beautiful gardens at Junk Chic Cottage. She has masses of petunias that you could get lost in! Can you believe there's a bike under all those blooms?
Doesn't this look yummy and refreshing for a Summer evening? Cantaloupe-Honey Granita from Anjana at The Corner of Happy and Harried.


thanks gals for joining in for the party!

And today's Be Inspired Sponsor is Lucy from
Use code COMMONGROUND10 for 10% off this weekend
on her wonderful vintage repurposed and handmade jewelry pieces.




Hope you'll join in on the fun. Be Inspired is open for whatever has been inspiring you this week. Please have a link within your post to be featured. And if you've ever been featured, feel free to grab the image below for your sidebar.


then check out my Friday Party Gal Pals here.



And just a note for next week, which will be July 4.
Hope you'll be here between the Cookout and Fireworks!
We'll be linking up Patriotic and 4th of July fun, past and present, 
plus all your weekly inspiration.

xoxo,

    Hi Debra, thanks for hosting, love joining in. I am enjoyed the spring into summer flowers. We have had about a month of daily rain on the coast now with some sunshine breaks so everything is growing but the constant rain sure is tough on the blossoms.
