Well, today Andrea and I are on our way down to Atlanta for the Haven Conference! I’m so excited and also a little nervous. You can follow me on instagram for behind the scenes shots; I’m carmel_ourfifthhouse.
Today I’m kicking off the Summer Inspiration Series by featuring some wonderful ideas for simple updates in your home. Summer is the perfect time of year for a quick project. I’m a big fan of details, and I believe the smallest changes can make this biggest impact.
Pam from Simple Details made this monogram pillow using none other than a sharpie! I’m always a sucker for a monogram, and this is no exception.
Beth from Design Post found some cloth baskets at Ikea and gave them a little ombre makeover. I love the pop of color!
We’ve seen a number of DIY drum shades all over blogland, but this one from Jennifer at Dimples and Tangles had me at gold.……not to mention sheer over a vintage chandy!

Thanks for including my baskets in your round-up! I am dying to try both the pillow and the drum shade. Have a great trip!
