Style Scouting: Vol. 93

Thanks for stopping by for this week’s Style Scouting. My Sunday post where I share the random stuff that captured my attention or inspired me that I found online.

Ed and I returned from a weeklong vacation in Hilton Head, SC. We stayed in Sea Pines on the south end of the island. As vacations go, we both agree it was perfect in every way.

Morning bike rides on the beach, then the rest of the day spent reading on the beach. Sunshine and balmy breezes every day.

Dinner alfresco on the deck of the place we were staying or at our favorite oceanfront restaurant, Coast.

The full-moon added to the “perfect in every way” vacation.

Even though it is always nice to go traveling, it feels… Oh, so nice to come home. :-)

Posts You May Have Missed This Week:

Decorating

Items made with scallops are trending. I like this – now I want to find a way to DIY one.

Love the use of color and personal style showcased on this site.

A beautifully decorated showhouse. As you scroll through the images take note of what is surrounding a bathtub – I love it!

I love lots of windows – this home has a lot. I also like the custom kitchen island. So unique.

DIY

I have two of these forms in my decor stash from my days when I worked in retail display. What a pretty way to use them to decorate a room. I used one of mine in this post in my early days of blogging.

I want to make some of these with leftover fabric scraps I have from previous projects.

Food

Something especially cute to bake for Father’s Day. If giving one or more as a gift, you can wrap them this way.

Looks good to grill outside and enjoy alfresco.

These look so good – plant based BBQ.

To take to a Memorial Day picnic.

If my berry bowl ever breaks – I will replace it with this.

Gardening

For all lilac lovers… this is good to know.

Very stylish garden trellis you can make quickly and inexpensively.

Fashion & Beauty

The back detailing on this short sleeve shirt for summer is so cute.

Fun & Interesting

Scary good impersonization of Martha! Very funny. :-)

The results of this research about signs of aging surprised me. My home state of Pennsylvania was #2!

Would you or could you ever want to live this way?

  1. Enjoyed the article on lilacs. They are one of my favorite flowers as I love the smell and
    color.

  2. Hi Diane. Thanks for sharing that lovely Southern Living home. I was very surprised indeed with the bathtub surround, but what had me swooning was the piece in front of the fireplace in the living room. The cushioned table thing-y. The scalloped wicker around that is stunning! Love this home!

  3. Love, love, love that bathtub with the wicker surround. Now, how to DIY that? Hmm…. Any ideas, Diane?

    Hi, Diane!
    Nice work (as always) on the mats.
    About the scallops, you can always crochet good scallops and stiffen them with the right kind of ModPoge or with white glue and water. I just don’t know if that would be stiff enough, though.
    Happy Summertime!

      Hi Helen – Thanks for taking the time to share the good idea about making scallops. Very clever! I think white glue mixed with water would do the trick. :-).
