Summary
Summertime and the living (and decorating) is easy! There are so many simple ideas to freshen up for this season.
Summer decorating might just be more about what you take away than what you add. Remove and store away any items that say winter. That is includes the beloved furry Mongolain pillows!
Maybe you take down drapes & let the room bask in even more sunlight.
If you are adding for summer, how about:

| 0:00.0 | It's summer and the decorating is easy. |
| 0:11.8 | Hi, I'm Anita Joyce here with Kelly Wilkness, and this is decorating tips and tricks. |
| 0:17.5 | Summer decorating tips. |
| 0:19.7 | The decorating is easy because you're listening to |
| 0:21.8 | decorating tips and tricks. Exactly. Great ideas for you today to transform your spaces a little |
| 0:28.6 | bit for the new season. You can achieve this really summery feel by just doing a few simple things. |
| 0:35.7 | And I don't really buy a whole new arsenal of things. I'm just |
| 0:39.3 | kind of careful about which things I choose to be sitting out. And, you know, for example, all those |
| 0:45.1 | furry throws, as much as I adore them in the winter, I really don't want to be seeing them right now. |
| 0:51.1 | Those get put up at our house and hopefully at your house as well. |
| 0:58.0 | Yeah, I'm always slow to put those away. Then there's the day where you're just like, |
| 1:01.6 | oh gosh, I can't even look at this anymore. It's making me hot to look at it. So yeah, I put all my Mongolian pillows away and all the alpaca throws. All the throes. Yeah, I even have a ton of |
| 1:07.9 | furry throws. So they all went away and I brought out some linen ones. So really for me, I don't think I've purchased anything new. You guys would be listening to this and it's we're just sliding into the summer. It's everybody's mind is probably turning towards the summer. The kids are ready for school to be over. You might not be ready for school to be over, but you might be ready to change out your pillow |
| 1:29.6 | covers or something like that. So that's what you can get started doing. Right. And I think both of us |
| 1:34.8 | have a very similar approach to this. We do some changing out as the seasons change, but I don't |
| 1:42.9 | have a lot of closet space to store off-season items. |
| 1:48.0 | So I don't have a lot of beach signs and, you know, faux surfing boards that I'm putting up on |
| 1:55.4 | the wall. We're not really suggesting that you do all of that. These are kind of subtle changes so that, |
| 2:02.9 | you know, I like, for example, having out a cloche. In the winter, you can put something |
| 2:09.1 | wintry in it and spring and fall. And then in the summer, you can put something summery in it. |
| 2:13.9 | So what you might want to put in your clothes for the summer, summer seashells. |
| 2:18.8 | Yes, definitely. It's kind of like a taking away rather than an adding to necessarily. |
