Summer Home Tour 2016 My Uncommon Slice of Suburbia

These past few months have been so incredibly crazy for us and I hope to share with you soon.  With that being said, the changes around here have been extremely subtle, lots of fresh flowers and a few pops of one of my favorite colors, coral!

I’m happy I was able to get some photo’s of the kitchen in today’s tour.  I was planning on sharing a whole lot more with you but after snapping these photos we had a big leak.  I know…..AGAIN?  Yes, again, I came downstairs to a dishwasher that ran the whole entire night, Ray was gone and our brand new kitchen was flooded! (that’s a post for another day)

Trader Joe’s was selling on of my favorite flowers, peonies, so I scooped some up and added them to a water pitcher.  The rest of the clipping are from around our yard which eventually made it into another floral display.

Other then during Christmas, I keep the kitchen pretty simple.  Clutter stresses me out and flowers make me happy, hence a lot of flowers.

For our great room I added a few new throw pillows and swapped out some accessories that were sitting in storage.  With the dark floors and dark furniture, I try to accessorize with color to lighten up the space.

Love the coral and white color combination

I know, big TV, it’s all about compromise and I have to say it makes for great movie nights with the family!

The guest bathroom was touched up with some fun colorful hand towels and a plant from Ikea.

Since this shower rarely gets used the Crystal Ceiling Light and the glass tiles actually have stayed pretty shiny over the years!

Our master bedroom has remained pretty much the same other then the fun Sunburst Diamond Mirror and of course our new pup Winston!
Such a beautiful master bedrrom

The softest sheets I have even had! The most incredible sheets I have ever had!

Living in San Diego we absolutely love entertaining outside. Last summer we tore out the old fountain that no longer worked and built an outdoor fireplace.  We have created lots of great memories sitting around the fire at night.
