Welcome to Southern State of Mind! If this is your first time here, I am so glad you are joining me today for the Elements of Summer Home Tour!
For those of you that have been around awhile, you already know I am a serious sucker for anything southern and coastal. Oh and that I have a serious thing for navy blue.
Wouldn’t you agree that summer is perfect collision of all of these elements?
Let’s start things off in the foyer. I hung my DIY Oyster & Spanish Moss wreath to welcome summer guests. And that’s Bella, our ten year old chocolate lab, she is always nearby.
From the foyer, we make our way into the living room. This is the hub of the house and truly the room in which we live. It recently got a fun refresh with lots of fun summer touches.

Oh I love everything, your colors are so pretty and I love, love, love the deck. What a wonderful place to relax and entertain.
Thanks Marty! That deck has been one of my favorite places to kick back and I just know we will continue to enjoy it all summer!
your 'date night' spot and all your other summer touches in your home look beautiful. Best of luck in the next few weeks. kick those feet up on the patio while you can.Happy summer
Thanks Laura! Happy Summer to you as well!
This is amazing and clearly all the summer touches were done with love and care. I love those plates!
Thanks Ann! I loved joining up with you for this summer tour! And yes, those plates were a mother's day splurge for myself. 🙂 Sometimes you just gotta do it!
Heather, your home is so very pretty! I'm really crushing on the lamps in your foyer. Every single thing is just perfect. You've done a great job of combining colors and patterns and creating wonderful vignettes. Love it all.
Suzy- thanks so much for your sweet comment! Those lamps in my foyer were one of my first "big girl" purchases and I still love them!
What a beautiful home you have! I love all of your coastal touches that are perfect for summer décor.
Did you make your living room curtains? I love them!
Thanks Paula! YES- I did make the curtains in my living room… would you believe I made them from shower curtains?!?!?! Thanks again for stopping in!
Your home is so lovely! I just adore all the summer touches and pops of color and that inviting back deck all decked out with fun cushions and those lights! Ready for an amazing summer party!
Thanks so much for sharing with us all!
🙂 Linda
Thanks for stopping in Linda!
You have a beautiful home Heather. Love all the red but I'm really crushing on your coral print and vintage window.
Thanks so much! I found that vintage window for $2 at a church garage sale, they begged me to take it away! I had no idea what I was going to do with it, but it has definitely come in handy! Thanks for stopping in
Love those navy plates! Everything looks so great and summery! Love it all. I just bought a few strands of those oversized outdoor lights for my new patio … attempting to hang them this weekend :). xx, b @being-bianca.com
Thanks B! I totally treated myself to those plates for Mother's Day from C Wonder. 🙂 Good luck hanging the lights- we put ours up about 3 years ago and they are still holding strong- I am pleasantly surprised!
Heather, you got me at oyster shells… what a beautiful, creative home! I adore your sense of color and the way you mix different elements. You really have a great sense of style. Where did you get that great piece of art that has name of places on it (I think). It's a wonderful size for that wall! I'm so happy I stopped by and got to visit you and your fabulous home!!!
Yvonne, thank you so much for your sweet comment! I actually made the oversized art- it has all Atlanta landmarks like Subway art. Thanks again for stopping in!
Just beautiful! You've done a great job of adding beachy touches without looking cutesy. Everything looks sophisticated but very comfortable and inviting. Thanks so much for the tour!
Thank you so much for stopping in and your sweet comments! I am so glad you came by.
I know I've said it before, but I'll say it again…. I love your house! It's one of my all time favorites. I love how you can change it up for different seasons and everything else too. The blue and white table scape is adorable. I love the plates but the white bowls are adorable. Are they milk glass? And Bella is just too cute.
Megan you are too sweet! The white bowls are milk glass, I have been picking up pieces here and there. I will pass along the compliment to Bella too! 🙂
Oh my wow! So many wonderful touches! I love all the pops of red (my favorite color). I also love your pallet art – I've been wanting to make an American flag art for our barn this summer. You are inspiring me. Oh, and that patio! Love! Pinning and sharing on FB>
Kim- thanks so much for stopping in! The pallet art was so super easy- DEF do it for your barn- that sounds awesome!!!
Your pallet flag is so cute! Your house looks gorgeous and I love the blue and white table! Great job!
Thanks so much for stopping in Shanna!
Hi Heather, it's so great to be on the tour with you! After seeing your lanterns filled with oyster shells, I think that I must do the same! Love your touches of orange and coral in your home, and that pallet flag is gorgeous! Pinning and sharing! 🙂
Loved this tour- everyone's home looks amazing for summer! Thanks so much for stopping in!
So pretty~ love the bright colors and patterns you have in your home!
Thanks so much Courtney! I am kind of crazy when it comes to mixing patterns 🙂
Your home is GORGEOUS!! Loving all of the summer touches and really just every single detail! 🙂
Vanessa
You are so sweet Vanessa! Thanks so much for your comment and for coming by to check out the summer home!
Your living room is so pretty and I love your dining room light fixture!!
Thanks Jennifer! We purchased the dining room light fixture from West Elm- it has definitely made a statement in the room! Thanks for stopping in!
Love the coastal, summery look around your home! So pretty!
Thanks Allison! I am a sucker for all things coastal and can't wait for summer to have a reason to decorate with it! 🙂 Thanks for stopping in!
There are so many lovely summer elements in your decor ~ I love them all!
Thanks so much for stopping in and your sweet comment Mary Beth!
What a beautiful home!! I especially love your red, white, and blue table. I love your white dishes with fruit! Thanks so much for the inspiration. Enjoy your day!
Love this, Heather! Your home is beautiful and I just adore the pops of color you used. I'm definitely pinning for your deck inspiration because we just finished one on the front of our house.
I'm late visiting from the tour but thank you for joining us and have a great weekend!
Oh my goodness. These spaces are absolutely gorgeous! I love how it's so tranquil but vibrant with the pops of color at the same time.
