Entry way switcheroo

Remember the entryway that received a complete overhaul? 

 

Yes, this one. 

Well it got a little sprucing up for the arrival of summer, or apparently around these parts-- Tornado and storm season. Grr. Anyway I needed some brightness in my life. It started with this rug, which matched perfectly to this banner I made.

Then I couldn't be stopped. 

I swapped my home-made tacks (which I still love) for these huge tacks-- (Because we like things supersized around here) from Wal*mart for 3.00ish dollars. If anything under 20.00 is justifiable, then 3.00 is practically free. At least, that's what I tell my husband. ;)

If I have a new rug, I need a new accent pillow, right? Sure. So I scooped up the matching towel to my rug and voila! Some super cute and water resistant pillows!

What I  love the most about them is the girls can snatch them up on their way outside when they go play and need something soft to lay on. I wont worry about it getting wet and the color bleeding. Yup, genius I'd say.

My baskets got a tiny overhaul too. How? Easy, I just erased the tags and gave them the proper fillin' for summer.

We don't need hats and gloves so I opted for

1.)SPF

Quick and easy for when we're on the go. Love the last minute trips to our favorite great lake.

2.) Sun

Does anyone else ALWAYS lose their sunglasses? Is it just me?

3.) Beach

More or less because it looked cute, but just like the SPF it's nice to know where there's a towel--quick.

Love the little changes that help me soak up my summer.
