Simple Ideas for Home, Garden and Late Summer
Welcome to another Style Showcase, where we’re sharing simple ideas for home, garden, decorating, and everyday living. As summer slowly begins to give way to fall, this week’s inspiration feels perfect for making small changes around the house, tackling an outdoor project, or simply enjoying these last warm days of the season.
From the transforming power of paint and easy pillow styling to a charming garden shed, a unique Georgia destination, and a refreshing strawberry drink, there’s a little something for everyone this week.
The Power of Paint in Your Home
Annie from Zevy Joy is showing just how much of an impact paint can make throughout your home. Whether you’re refreshing walls, or transforming cabinets, or giving accessories a new look, paint remains one of the easiest ways to make a noticeable change without taking on a major renovation.

Four Different Looks Using the Same Throw Pillow
At Duke Manor Farm, I’m going back into the archives to share one of my favorite reminders. You don’t always need to buy something new to refresh a room.

I took one versatile chambray pillow and styled it several different ways throughout the house and through different seasons. By simply changing the colors, patterns, and throws around it, the same pillow takes on an entirely different look.

A Charming DIY Garden Shed
Danielle from Finding Silver Pennies is sharing the garden shed her family built together in just one week.

The classic little shed provides much-needed storage but Danielle made sure it was pretty too. Creamy white paint, black hardware, a gray roof, give the practical structure plenty of cottage charm.

Exploring The Rock Garden in Calhoun, Georgia
Rhoda from Southern Hospitality takes us along to The Rock Garden in Calhoun, Georgia.

This unique attraction features miniature buildings, castles, churches, and other structures created from tiny stones, pebbles, shells, and natural materials. It’s one of Georgia destinations that reminds me there are always interesting places close to home waiting to be discovered.

A Refreshing Strawberry Julius
Jennifer from Town & Country Living is sharing a Strawberry Julius. This looks like the perfect way to hold onto summer just a little bit longer.

Made with strawberries and a handful of ingredients, this creamy frozen drink would be delicious treat. Total side note but who remembers Orange Julius in the malls back in the day?

More Style Showcase Inspiration
I love how this week’s Style Showcase ideas are all about simple pleasures and approachable changes. Using pillows you already own, or a cold strawberry drink can sometimes be all the inspiration we need.
Be sure to visit each of my friends for all the details. I’ll see you back here next week with another round of Style Showcase inspiration.
Have a beautiful week!
