Friday Five // What I'm Loving Right Now

This week, I’m knee-deep in all things summer, and I’m inspired on the daily by creamy color palettes and woven and rustic textures. And whether I’m donning a wide-brimmed sunhat to head to the lake or a quick baseball cap to garden, one thing’s for sure: you’ll find me outdoors any chance I can get. Looking for some summer vibes? Check out my roundup below - I’ve got a feeling you’ll be as in love with these dreamy elements just as much as I am.

NO. 1 OUTDOORS

Who wouldn't want to spend their summer gardening in this shed?! It's got English countryside written all over it and I'm in love. With the official shift towards summer, I've moved all my attention to the outdoors, and I'm on a mission to create a little shed of my own for planting and gardening storage. Let the potting adventures commence!

NO. 2 SMEG VINTAGE APPLIANCES

I know there's glamour in a new shiny stainless steel fridge, but lately, these vintage-inspired Smeg appliances have me all sorts of obsessed. I love the character they bring to a kitchen, and no matter what your style or color palette, there's a gorgeous shade out there for you. I'm beyond tempted to swap my current fridge out for one, stat!

NO. 3 CANE FURNITURE

Minnesota has only a short window of perfect weather, so I tend to want to soak it up every chance I get. That means I'm always looking for ways to incorporate outdoor textures in my indoor decor. I can't get enough of cane furniture right now for just that reason - it's visually simple, but it packs a major warm-weather/summery-textured punch.

NO. 4 RUSTIC VASES

Can't you just picture clipping a few blooms from your backyard garden and popping them in one of these beauties? It would give any table an instant dose of charm. There's something about the imperfections of a rustic vase that feels perfectly old world to me, and paired with a few contemporary decor pieces - like a coffee table with a modern silhouette - it's sure to turn heads.

NO. 5 SUMMER SANDALS

As a mama, I'm always in need of a comfortable pair of summer sandals because let's be honest, I gave up wedges and strappy espadrilles looooong ago. So, whenever I see a cute pair of slip-ons (like these from Sorel), I know they'll be my next go-to summer staple. Easy on and easy off is key - especially when you're chasing after a couple of boys!


Cheers to this perfect weather and to all the DIY outdoor projects and adventures on your list! Gardening, swimming, sunbathing - the list goes on and on, and I’m here for it all. Let me know what you’re loving right now - drop a comment below!
