If this is your first time visiting Southern State of Mind,
I am so glad you are here!
Welcome to Summer in the South!
Aaaahhhhhh….SUMMER!
It’s in full swing here in Atlanta.
I love summers in the south and all of the traditions of our city.
The Peachtree Road Race, the Lenox Fireworks, and the blue hydrangeas.
Oh…and the heat. 🙂
I spent some time this week giving the house some patriotic touches. With baby boy arriving in 5 days (WHOA!) I figured it was now or never if we want to have any red white and blue around the house for the Fourth of July.
The front porch is ready festive with a couple of flags,
bunting and a star-spangled rug.
The dining room is shining her red, white and blue.
Earlier this week, I showed you how I made this vintage scarf table runner using Jacqueline Kennedy as my inspiration in the Summer Style Soiree.
I love how the patterns mix together!
Thanks so much for checking out my summer home tour. I am really excited to be joining some other seriously talented bloggers- 23 to be exact! Be sure to click below for some summer eye candy!

Looks so lovely and festive. Aw, your sweet dog relaxing is so cute too!
Thanks Danielle! Yes, Bella seems to find her way into so many of my photos! She really loves being with us! 🙂
Love your porch all dressed for July 4th. 🙂
Thanks Stacey! Hard to believe it is almost the 4th! The year is half way over!!!!
Love the fabulous 4th decor on the porch.
Thanks Marty! I was glad to be able to get it up and have been enjoying it when I pull up to my house every day. It's the little things! 🙂
You have a beautiful home. Love all the festive touches. Will be glad when our exterior painting is done so I can add some patriotic inspiration outdoors as well.
Thanks! Exterior painting sounds fantastic! Happy 4th!
Girl! You did all of this and you have a baby coming in a few days?! I am beyond impressed! It looks so beautiful! Can't wait to "meet" your little guy!
~Abby =)
Ha, yeah I should probably be reading up on how to manage life with two kids, but decorating for the 4th is WAY more fun! 🙂
Lots of 4th of July fun! I love that coral framed art above your sofa too 🙂 xo Kristin
Thanks Kristin! Love doing this tour with you and I love your East Coast living space!
Your living room is so comfy and cozy! I am loving all the pops of color!
Thanks! Loved doing the summer tour with you!
What a great home! I love all of your accessories and patterns! 😉
Thanks April! It was fun to do this tour with you!
Love it, Heather! And I'm impressed that you're still up to decorating with just 5 days left before your boy gets here!! Go girl! Also – those hydrangeas!!! One of my favorite flowers 🙂 I'm waiting for mine to bloom so I can put some cuttings around the house!
Thanks Emily! I am so obsessed with hydrangeas this time of year- so great that you will have some in your yard too!
I love all the patterns in your living room and the red,white and blue additions for summer!
Thanks for stopping in Lindsay!
Love your home Heather!!! The 4th of July touches are adorable and I can't believe you've done so much with a baby on the way! I'm thrilled to have been a part of this tour with you and the other girls. 🙂 So fun! Hugs and Good Luck this week!!! Take care, xoxo
Thanks for stopping in and I loved being on this summer tour with you! Heather
Such fun patriotic touches Heather and your home is stunning as always. I love the mix of pattern and colour that you use – so fab. Good luck in the days ahead!! Such an exciting time as you become a family of four:) Take care!

Thanks for the well wishes and for stopping in Krista! Loved doing this tour with you! Happy summer!
Just popping in from A to Z. Your family room is gorgeous and I love all the red, white, and blue in your dining room! Love the patriotic touches in the courtyard as well. 🙂
First of all, can I tell you how impressed I am that you got your house all decked out for the 4th so late in your pregnancy?! I really enjoyed touring through your house – you've got a great knack of mixing colors and textures to create beautiful spaces. Thanks for linking up to Best of the Nest and wishing you the best for an easy delivery!
Love that table runner and the dishes – the whole table really!! Caute! Stopping in from Best of the Nest 🙂
