Summer Whites

I love white any time of year but I especially live for it in the summer. For those of you who wait until Memorial Day to pull your white jeans out, welcome to summer!

I've been loving the look of bamboo shades and last night when I told my mom that we should consider putting them in one of the new John Street cottages, she reminded me that she was way ahead of the trend and had them in our first house in New York (go mom!). They add a youthful element to a room and are almost beachy without being too much for a house that experiences seasons. Check a few of my favorite versions below. Whether in an office, living room, kitchen or bedroom, I am lovinggg bamboo shades.

Colorful Kitchen Cabinets

While I love a great white kitchen, I've seen some amazing kitchens with fun cabinets in blues, grays and greens. The colors definitely make the kitchens unique and make a nice white backsplash pop. Below are a few of my favorites.

Kitchen Bar stools

After 7 years of living in their house, my parents (let's be serious, my mom) are just getting around to doing some decorating in the family room and kitchen. After re-doing the kitchen earlier this year, it's time for some new bar stools. My mom asked for some ideas so naturally I turned to Pinterest for a little inspiration.The kitchen is all white with black granite counter tops and the family room is being done in blue tones and neutrals. I prefer stools with backs but I do love the look of backless ones. Any ideas? Any favorites?
