Summer Changes in our Living Room & Entryway

My boys will finally be beginning their summer vacation tomorrow.  Thanks to a rough winter, there were several days tacked on to the end of the school year and they have definitely not been happy about that.

Summer Cottage Garden Party: Pool & Patio Ideas

Today, I am joining in with a Summer Cottage Garden Party, hosted by Brenda at Cozy Little House. I am going to share some pictures of the most used area of our yard during the summer months, our pool area.  We always start by power washing this entire patio right after we open the pool.  It is crazy how much dirt collects over the winter and it all looks so much better after the washing.

Summer Changes in our Family Room

I recently changed things up in our family room for summer and added some cabin style decor to remind us of our favorite place to be in the summer, the Adirondack Mountains of Upstate NY.  I like to spread the furniture out in this room when we aren't spending as much time around the fireplace.  It isn't quite as cozy, but this room always feels so much larger arranged this way.Family room with stone fireplace and cabin style decor-www.goldenboysandme.com

Mixing Colors and Patterns in the Bedroom with JCPenney & A Giveaway!


When it comes to home decor, mixing colors and patterns is just about my favorite way to add personality and my own unique stamp to a room.  This week, our master bedroom got a whole new look.  Lately, I have been loving the color combination of deep blue mixed with a bit of orange and I decided to make that the inspiration for our new bedding.  When I spotted the Adana bedding from The Eva Longoria home™ collection at JCPenney, I knew it would be the perfect starting point.

Outdoor Patio Ideas

Our family loves spending time on our outdoor patio.  It is a covered space so there is shade from the hot sun and a fan to provide a cool breeze.
