Happy Friday
I try to bring out brighter colors through pillows and accessories.
I try to change out the little things that make our house seem too dark in the summer – getting rid of the blankets, adding flowers etc. Wish I could decorate like you!
My home is done in a similar color palette as yours, so Iike to freshen up for Summer by adding blues and greens and a few coastal items. I love the water and the beach, so those colors are most soothing to me.
I like to change things up for summer by adding lighter and brighter accents.
sometimes I change the color to lighter colors to match the summer months
I love to change the warm winter bedding in the spring to brighter colors. Ir doesn’t take long and the whole room looks freshened. I use accent pillows on top of the beds too. The covers change easily to go with different schemes.
I always change my decor with the seasons. I get bored so easily. Every few years I even change wall color. Again I get bored so easily I have to change things up often or I kinda get depressed. I always feel refreshed when I do this. I guess Im nuts…lol. Thanks for the inspiration.
In the Midwest, it’s especially important to decorate for the seasons.
Spring is time to brighten up!
Diane I’m so glad to discover your blog. I love to decorate my home for the seasons. As I get older and the kids are gone I do less but I always do my mantle and entry hall table and dining room table. It just freshens up the house. And many of my pieces come from the max!
Hi Diane! Yes!! Yes!! Yes!! I DO! I do change my decor! I am incredibly fortunate to live in the Pacific Northwest where we have all 4 seasons! It’s so fun, each season brings something to look forward to! We have TJ Maxx in our local town. :)
I change out a few pieces depending on the season: I have seasonal birdhouses and my wreath on my front porch changes each season.

I add blue cushions to my lawn furniture to give it a whole new look in the summer months.
I change accessories seasonally, but never change window treatments. I have been looking for blue window treatments and love T.J. Maxx!! Time to change things up.
I am one of those boring people who usually only changes things as needed. Right now my patio is in need of a little freshening up. A walk through TJ Max never fails to inspire.
Pillows mostly, but I like to change around small things just for change.
I love to change my accessories out to cozy in the Winter and light and airy in the Summer. I love to switch pillows, throws and mantle decor. I also LOVE TJ Maxx! Who wouldn’t?!?
I love to change my decor seasonally! Usually it’s just a few items – pillows, a lighter throw for the sofa, and accessories. I’m planning on getting a slipcovered sofa which gives the added layer of changing to a darker color for fall and winter. It always helps me look at my home with Fresh eyes and keeps me from tiring of the things quickly. Thanks for all the ways your blog inspires me to be more creative!
I used to change a lot of the décor every season, but the more time that goes by, I usually just change simple things out. Now I change pillow covers for every season, but keep my white slipcovers on the sofa constantly. I also get fresh flowers every week or two, and find that makes a huge difference for me in freshening things up.
Yes, I do switch things up for summer. Every season actually. It just seems as each season ends Im ready to welcome the new one with decor to match. A $100.00 TJMaxx gift card would be AWESOME. I love your blog by the way. You have such a beautiful way of decorating.
Yes! I love adding fun new decor when the seasons change. Thank you so much for offering such a great giveaway.
I would if I could.
I’m constantly changing up the decor in my home, especially for summer! I am in the process of completing a DIY project that includes refinishing a round table and a chaise lounge for the backyard (using a pastel striped fabric for top of it, then a simple floral for the back). Then, change up the pillows and comforters, add more color to my garden and that should do it (for now)! :)
I don’t change a lot of things nor have rules about what gets changed. It’s more about the general feel of my home. In the winter, I naturally want the warm and cozy feel, in the summer, I love to change out things to give a light and airy feel. No rules!
I change out pillows, bedding and decorative pieces. I like to mix it up and refresh seasonally. TJMaxx has great finds.
Love to switch out the outdoor goodies, change quilts to light coverlets and a fun tablescape:).
Yes I change my décor with the season and for holidays. It feels good to change things up and move things around. Love TJ Max
I love T.J. Maxx, and yes I do change décor for the seasons! Normally I go with a more patriotic theme for the summer. Love the red, white & blue!!!!
I do change my bedroom with mosaic rugs. It gives luxurious looks to my room
T.J Max superb ideas
I like simple changes – pillows, flowers, accents etc.
I love to change the cushion covers, flowers in vases, curtains too !
I change all my accessories with bright colors !
Love to change with the seasons
Yes I change my decor for the summer. I change things up all the time. For summer there are many different ideas/looks that I love from beach cottage, to lake cottage, to rose garden, to summer farm and more. I love starting with a neutral background, then changing accessories to complete the different looks. Also it’s all about the hunt for the perfect accessory. Where better to hunt than T.J. Maxx?!
I am doing some minor changes, mostly to my mantel.
I bring in flowers from the yard and change to a summery spread on the bed. I love T.J. Maxx and get so many good decorating ideas from your blog!
Yes! Doesn’t everyone? I change almost every surface thing…. I know, crazy.
Maybe a little– but not a lot. That could change, though! :-) Thanks for the give away!
I change the master bed’s comforter to a white spread, and a few small things, but at this time in my life I don’t do alot. It would be fun to shop at T.J. Maxx and find new things for my summer decor.
I love changing my decor all the time! I have my kichen in Americana style, my dining room Italian style, my living room a mix of contemporary/Morrocan style, and my bedroom is Garden style. I feel great in each room, but I still love to change it up! My latest tastes are French provincial! And I’m already thinking about 4th of July! I Love Decor! And I Love TJ Maxx! Believe me TJ Maxx is my store!
yes, I change our decor with every season of the year. I love change!!!
I haven’t really accumulated enough decor items for each season to change it up all the time, but I know that TJ Maxx is a great source for great bargains on stylish decor!
I am always changing things around much to my husbands dismay! Moving things around and changing out things for the season always gives you a fresh new view of your home.
I change up decor for every season! I love decorating and TJ Maxx!
I don’t change my decor for the summer because I have 5 kids 10 and under. Hopefully one day I will be able to!
I´m going to re-decorate our bedroom! :)
I change out my pillows in the living room and family room, as well as switching the heavy covers on my bed for a lighter weight and more colorful comforter.
No, don’t change a thing, but I’m lucky to have a shore house to vacation in. I’m always changing things there! TJ Maxx is one of my favorite home decor stores!
I don’t really change much inside except a lighter throw blanket…but I sure do like to change up the outside!
We just bought our first home and I am so happy that I now have room to have multiple sets of decorative objects/seasonal items for our house. Before when we were in apartments, there just wasn’t the storage space to change decor for the season. This year though I’ll be adding new throw pillows and pictures to our living room. New vases for the dining room. Some summery prints for the kitchen and all of our outdoor decorations. Plus all of the decorations for the various patriotic holidays.
My change just goes to flowers. I have zero taste and know how in decorating. Would love to win to actually make changes.
Thank you!
Summer time is often my inspiration time! With Windows open and our homeschooling lessons finished I use the time to have fun with the kids and give a little more love to our house than I normally can’t do during the busy school year! I love painting and will usually freshen all our rooms with a new color, freshen the trim up and pack winter blankets away. It’s a time for lightening up and I often find myself yearning for brighter pops of color around the house whether that be dish towels, throw pillows, artwork pieces or lighter curtains! I’m a momma of four and don’t regularly indulge in shopping trips because it’s been more stressful than helpful with four little ones in tow…but my oh my what a treat a TJ MAXX gift card would be for this momma! It would be $100 carefully and thankfully spent!
I love spring decorating! I always look forward to adding pillows, plants and incorporating flea market finds to our enclosed deck. It makes me soooo happy! I try and hit up TJ Maxx every few weeks, it’s another one of my happy places!
I change my accessories in the summer and try to lighten things up by using blues and whites and seashells and try to bring the outside in.
I always slipcover the cushions of the couch with light colored light weight fabric. It feels so nice and looks summery. I love all of the bright towels and kitchen items at T.J.Maxx. They always have such fun seasonal items.
I didn’t know you could order on line from TJMaxx. I’m so glad to know that. We have one here, but sometimes I need more or a different size. This might be my answer. :)
I usually change a few things for summer. It always seems I need to do a little lightening up for the warmer days.
Hope you are loving your lake home. What a great place to retire. And I loved hearing you and your husband’s love story. How sweet!
I’ve been known to change my accessories just because it’s Tuesday! TJ Maxx is one of my favorite shopping spots.
I change out many of my accessories throughout the year – throw pillows, vase fillers, candles, decorative rea towels etc. I love TJ Maxx and love your blog – the first I ever followed and still my favorite. I work on DIY projects every weekend!
Diane – you picked some fun items that say ‘Summer is here’! I used to incorporate more seasonal decorating through my home and find that running a full-time staging business for the past 10 years has left me with less time. With that said, I have an antique scale in my kitchen that I enjoy creating a changing vignette on . . . Simple items – some fun rolled up kitchen towels, a grouping of faux artichokes or if a holiday – a cute stuffed Santa and ornaments or a bunny, greenery and large faux carrots. It’s simple to keep up with and I do love creating a new vignette several times a year. Wishing you a fabulous Mother’s Day!
Yes – I try to, anyway!
Change is good, especially when it’s bright and sunny out. I want to swap out my heavy winter comforter for a crisp, duvet cover for my lighter weight comforter and put away the velvet accent pillows for softer cotton pastels, somewhat like your MBR, Diane. Making new throw pillows for LR sofa, too. My little changes include already-planted flower and veg seeds that are looking pretty good. Put new plants in the planters by the front door and painted it a new color with the small sample jar from Home Depot. It lifts my spirits to see a fresh look. TJMaxx/Homegoods is my “go-to” store for linens and baskets!
I change the wreath on my front door to a sunflowers one and change my flag to a pretty bird one. Inside I like to set the breakfast table with lovely fresh colors and add some flowers from the garden. Last I open up the wondows and enjoy the nice weather before it gets to hot.
I bring in fresh flowers from the garden and put away all the throws. I love your blog and what you’re doing with your new home.
Yes!!! I change our decor for summer, mostly exterior poolside decor!!
I don’t really change my decor for summer, but in my bathroom I have a bit of a summer feel year-round. I have photos and a painting of the ocean around it, and a blue and green color scheme. I love the sun, and warm weather and the beach pictures always make me feel like summer is just around the corner whenever I look at them.
Hi Diane,
Yes, I change my decor for the different seasons ?
Happy Mother’s day!
Love TJMaxx! I change some accessories in my home with the seasons. Would love to win so I could purchase some new things.
I would love to change out some decor and freshen. We had to have a good bit of repair work done on our home so funds are tight. A few bright accessories would really come in handy!
I change the curtains framing my tub/shower from brown and cozy to sea glass and beachy. I also tweak towels used vs. rolled but visible.
I am changing things up this summer, I need a fresh breeze. I love tj maxx too.
we have to move from our rental cottage into an as yet unfound home. i will be completely feathering a new nest, likely with summer beachy vibes because we live on an island. i have no idea what our home will even look like. that $100 give card at TJ Maxx would be a lifesaver for me. thank you for this generous giveaway.
I live in Florida so I keep my beachy theme going year round. I only make small seasonal changes, such as throw pillows, etc.
Yes, I change a few things for summer. I always change my front door/porch and I switch things around here and there. I’d also love to buy some light colored throw pillows. Always on the lookout for new things. Love TJ Maxx! Thanks for offering the giveaway!
Shelley
I do change décor during seasons, I love change and that means rotating furniture also. Love decorating and trying something new.
I make very small changes each season, with larger changes around the holidays. In the summer, I will bring in seasonal flowers and a few brightly colored nick knacks. I will also diffuse some flowery essential oils for a fresh summer scent.
I go totally be beachy right after Easter. TJ Maxx is my go-to for decor
I change my house a lot for fall and winter so when spring comes and everything is put away, the house feels light and airy!
I change things here and there as my mood suits. I would like to put a white slipcover on the sofa this spring but I would need to win the Gift card to do that. Hint hint
I would love to update the patio this year. Thanks for this opportunity, Diane!
I do change out pillows on the couches, and I try to always have fresh flowers in the house. I also love the ritual of getting out the patio furniture and dusting it off. Welcome, summer!!
Beautiful picks! Yes, I change out pillows and linens.
Not this yr. We are getting house ready to put on the market, so cleaning out 23 yrs of accumulation. It’d be wonderful to use the $100 to help stage the house
I mostly change the outdoors with plants and pillows. I should really think about the indoors too!
I love to change decor, using things from my ever-increasing stash! For me, this can include the front and back doors; the mantle; pillows, throws and other linens ~ on and on! A change from cozy to a light and fresh, much cooler feel, helps tolerate the approaching 100+ Texas temps, for instance!
I love TJX, and find they have a huge stock of fun goodies in as many style variations as I can imagine! I’m not crazy about theme decor, but love bringing a comfortable, eclectic flavor into our home! And now to hear I can shop online, too, for great things!? Uh oh!!!
Thanks for offering such a fun gift opportunity!
Yes I change up the pillows and blankets :)
I do a little changing around, but mostly at holidays – my husband isn’t much for change, so I have a guest room that gets some light and airy decor and another guest room that’s all antiqued red/white/blue – some of which did actually come from TJ Maxx! I would love some more!
I decorate with classic patriotic decor over the summer! I’d love to win and find a few more pieces to use this summer!
My biggest summer decorating projects are defiantly my backyard patio. We do so much more outside living on our patio that I love to decorate it in wonderful bright colors and patterns. It’s ine area that I look forward to decorating the most.
Hi Diane – I will change out my pillow covers, placemats and table runners according to the season. Btw, I adored the blog about you and your husbands love story…send it to Hallmark for a movie!
I add more colors in décor in summer.
Yes, I do try to lighten things up for spring and summer. While fall and winter is all about being cozy, spring and summer is for throwing open the windows and changing pillows and accessories that bring the outdoors in. Thank you for the giveaway, I’m headed to TJMaxx for an event tomorrow!
I do some decorating for holidays. The coastal pillows at TJ Maxx would really cheer up our living room.
Diane, I never used to change my decor, but one good friend of mine does, so I always loved visiting her home in each season and each holiday just to experience her creativity. Now that I’m no longer working, I’d love to emulate her in that regard because I now “have the time” to “take the time.” However, the one problem I’m having in that regard is that I’d like to take down our heavy living room drapes and replace them for the summer with white, lighter linen-look, curtains and, perhaps some white canvas slipcovers for a couple of pieces of our living room furniture. At that suggestion, my husband said, “I love our living room just like it is.” His response has nothing to do with the expense of a change, just that he’s comfortable. If I were to win the T J Maxx Giftcard, I’d use it to introduce some small changes into our living room which I’m pretty sure he’d like once presented then, perhaps, introduce at least those summer white curtains at the very least.
Love your blog, Diane, and so happy to see that I don’t have time to read each and every comment of your followers. Not even time to just scroll through. Instead, I need to use the “pg dn” key. Good for you!
I always change out my sofa pillows to lighter colors and try to incorporate more white items in my rooms. I put out the sea shells we have collected on family trips and fill my hurricane candle holders with sand. I also try to have fresh flowers on the kitchen table.
Love decorating for the Summer & shopping for great deals for my home!
Love decorating for the Summer & All the Seasons!
I change my door wreaths, and a few other things to make you feel like summer. Four seasons here so the bedding all gets washed and put away with Just a summer blanket and light spread. Our focus is outdoors. Pots get planted along with the garden beds. Lots of flowers. I put summer cushions and pillows out to invite everyone in. I put out a lot of yard decor too. I will try outdoor curtains this year! We fill our fountains, a waterfall and bird baths. I LOVE SUMMER.
I do! I remove all “heavy” colors and incorporate more cool blends.
Yes I do! Summer is my favorite time of year so I love to decorate when it comes around!
The biggest changes happen on the patio, where vintagetable cloths and containers of bright flowers tend to appear. I switch to lighter linens in the bedroom, of course……
I have a big tote box for each season. I pick and choose the items to switch out as the seasons change. For Spring/Summer I put away more than I take out because I like a clean, airy look.
Yes, I change decorations for the seasons. For summer, I keep things light….a few seashells here, a lantern there, etc. I love, love, love TJMaxx and would so enjoy having a gift card to use to shop for fun!
I change my fireplace mantle decor for every season. Also, thinking about outside, and toying with the idea of spray painting my plant stands and large brown plastic pots before filling them. Won’t plant colorful annuals until I can purchase my plants at the Kane County Flea Market the first weekend in June. Also want to change up seat cushions for outdoor patio set.
Love to use soft colors and lighter everything for summer! Especially like to update throw pillows. Great giveaway!
If putting out patio furniture counts as changing decor, then yes :)
After moving from west coast to the east coast I’m finding it very difficult to get in the mood to change out my decor and make what I have to work in my new home. I do change out my decor seasonal. My decor style is inside out , so everything is very natural. For summer I use navy and white accessories along with seashells, succulents, rocks, glass and latterns inside and out. I love T J Max and Marshalls as well as my finds at Goodwill shops. I’m always looking for and finding inspiration from your site. Thanks for keeping me inspired and believe me I need a lot of it.
As I live in North Myrtle Beach, SC I do change my accent colors according to summer or winter. I like warmer colors in winter and lots of white and pastels in Spring and summer. I change my floral arrangements and try to use fresh flowers when I have them. The T.J. Maxx certificate would be lovely to have .
I don’t change a lot. Little touches here and there. I do change the wreath on our front door with the seasons. I love T. J. Max and try to stop in once a week.
Having been a born and breed northerner I know very well the concept of changing things out or the seasons. My mother used to change drapery (and I mean drapery- NOT light weight curtains! real drapery!) AND slipcovers AND bedding. I am exhausted just thinking about all she did! I now live in South Florida where our change of seasons is subtle but we do have a change and the northerner in me comes out and while I get an itch to do ‘something’, there’s pretty much nothing TO do! as I guess mis tele remains the same throughout the year. But that itch still needs to be scratched and a trip to TJMAXX would be so very helpful! There’s always room for a new little something to jazz things up a bit! Thanks for this generous giveaway!
Budget is limited but I do mix things up. TJ Maxx is my favorite place!
We generally don’t change too much, except for a vase on the mantle that has some decorative branches in it. During winter, ones that have little ‘crystals’ on them go in the vase, but during summer, the crystal branches go into the closet and are replaced with pussywillow-like branches. Sometimes we’ll also get new throw pillows, too!
I do not change for the seasons. Just wardrobe.
Nope, I don’t change much decor for the summer. Just switch out bedding as needed due to the temperature changes. And cleaning – lots of cleaning. Now, if I win the gift card… :)
Yep…I change curtains, pillows, throws, accessories for the season. I love how it keeps things always fresh without having to do complete makeovers. I’m a pillow addict BTW…I love how they refresh a room and add just the right touch of color to the seasons.
Thanks Diane for this opportunity to share a few of my seasonal decorating ideas. TJ Maxx and Marshall’s are my second homes because just like everybody else, I love to shop for the variety of decorating options AND at affordable prices! I love to change the pillows in our home. Our family room has a large sectional and fresh pillows definitely add to the welcoming summer season. I particularly lean toward pillows with blues and neutrals because we love the beach. In all of the bedrooms, I change the linens to reflect the warmer climate with cool colors and florals, I like to mix and match patterns and textures. I have purchased many paper products, napkins, plates and wrapping paper for celebrating graduations, birthdays, barbecues and simple summertime neighborhood impromptus. Love your blog, and a chance to win at something I love to do- shop at TJ Maxx! Thanks!
I always change with the seasons. I do use a lot of things from T J Maxx, Marshalls & Home Goods. Love the stores!!
Not a lot of change for seasons, except my mantle. Spring – forsythia, leaves for fall and bare branches for winter. Still need some summery things. The gift card would helps
cograts on your DrEAM HOME,MUST BE FUN TO START AGAIN.WITH NEW IDEAS.TJMAXX IS A FAVORITElIKE TO KEEP THINGS COOL FOR SUMMER.sTASH TO MIMINAL.CHAGING CURTAINS/RUGS (SMALL ONES)NICE GIFT ,THANKS
Most seasons, I do change my decor. Some seasons, I’m just too busy and don’t make it a priority.
Love me some TJ Maxx though.
I do change my decor in the summer. I put up light and airy curtains, lighter and colorful blankets.
Diane, thanks for the chance for a TJ Maxx give-a-way.
I change out our bedding for summer bedding, no need for heavy comforter.
I also have some lighter color accessories for the fireplace.
I decorate for fall and of course Christmas. I love the fall colors of orange, golds, reds and greens. So I decorate in the beginning of September and it stays up till the Saturday after Thanksgiving. Then the Christmas decorations come out until January 1st.
I really loved those drapes on your board. Would probably buy them for my bedroom if I won.
I do change for the seasons. Since I’m from up north and now living in Florida we don’t have those pretty sceneries here. I am in the finishing stages of finishing the remodeling of the house so this would be an added bonus to win. Thanks for the chance to win this wonderful gift card
I don’t do much to change my decor for the summer, except I do change my duvet cover from a patterned one to a pure white one. And I like to bring in cut flowers from the garden – that really says summer to me!
We live in a 2 BR townhouse (limited storage) on the Bayou. We spent so much time on the screen room overlooking the water. The only time my decor gets changed is the day after Thanksgiving when I start decorating for Christmas.
I like to change it up and make things light and bright in the summer!! Especially bringing in some navy and more coastal accents since I live near the beach!
Wow … thanks for another fun giveaway opportunity! Love T.J. Maxx – such great finds at great prices.
I usually change out my pillows and throws along with a few of my decorative accessories in my living room to give it a lighter feel. Have been enjoying all the changes you are making to your waterside home.
I don’t change out big things, but add and subtract a few decorative items.
I change up things after the Christmas decorations come down and it pretty much stays that way until September when I bust out the fall decor!
I don’t change decor; never really think about doing it. Once things find a home, that is where they stay.
Love TJMaxx, HomeGoods and Marshalls.
Yes I change out my home decor quite frequently. Sometimes just because…no holiday or season change needed. Same decorations can be utilized different ways. Never the same:)
Love your blog, t.j.maxx& summer changeovers! Great giveaway.
I like to change things out for major holidays and each season.
I am constantly changing the decor in my home, according to the holiday and season. It drives my husband crazy. I change art on walls, decor on shelves, pillows…it makes me very happy.
I change out our bedding to summer quilt and sheets, and the living/family room get lighter springier decor as well. I love having an excuse to change out the decor for the seasons. And now there is outside decor to put out as well. I would definitely put this card to good use!! We love our lake house, even in the lean years where we don’t have waterfront due to drought!!
Yes I do change the decor for summer using brighter colors and light fabrics more cottons. Its nice to have a change for the season.
I don’t change out my decor for summer but I do get the backyard ready for lots of entertaining. TJ MaXx is one of my go to places!
I am always ready to change out stuff in the house and my patio to celebrate the changing seasons. Especially important to me now that I’ve moved back to Alaska after living in Oregon for the past 14 years. The Spring & Summer seem to go by so fast so I’m always trying to push the changing season. I I really love flowers so I always buy a flowering potted plant that I can have inside even when its to early to plant outside. Can’t wait to move into my new house in 4-6 weeks so I can get a small garden planted and do some landscaping. Love this Blog. Keep it coming!!
HiYa, I don’t really change out my decor for summer, I think I more or less take things away or add lighter, brighter things. I especially like adding plants or flowers during the summer. And oh do I love me some TJMaxx!!! I buy about 95% of my home decor there, their prices just can’t be beat. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that I win the gift card!
Thanks,
Happy Mothers Day!
I change some of my decor for summer as well as the other seasons – usually textiles – bedspreads, pillow covers, etc. and tablescapes, but not much else.
Yes I did change my home decor, actually I changed the colors of my living room after having sage green for the last 10 years, so I now have amber gold, cream and deep cranberry colors. It looks real good. I could really use that gift card, but may the best man win…thanks. Millie. http://frugaliciouschick.blogspot.com
I change out some items for the spring/summer.
I do change out my decor for each season and this would be the perfect time for me to win this T.J. Maxx gift card since I need all new Summer decor. Thanks for giving me this chance. I love your blog and your decorating style.
You are very inspiring. Happy Mother’s Day!
For summer, I change out my pillows and wreath on my front door. I especially like when 4th of July and Labor Day come so I can put out my red, white, and blue decorations!
i do! i mostly change out pillows and throw blankets. And i get the outside pillows and decoration out.
I change a few things – the picture over my mantle, the pillows on my couch, and the wreath on my front door.
I love to decorate for the changing seasons! I always decorate my front door with a wreath and love to choose one for the summer that uses gorgeous pastel dried flowers. Inside, I switch out pillows and rugs. I also switch out some of my draperies with more sheer panels to let in the beautiful summer light. Most of my efforts though are focused on our outdoor living room, which keeps getting better every year with more layers of accessories and plants/florals.
I don’t believe I have ever been inside a TJ Max, but knowing they are online I will definitely go do some browsing and who knows what I may find. Thanks for hosting the giveaway Diane. I thoroughly enjoy your blog! I do change decor for summer, but I’d like to do more for the rest of the year.
Starting in Spring, i do have more flower bouquets and I also change the curtains!
Hi Diane,
I have been following your blog for a few years and really enjoy it. I change out wreaths, candles and a few other small things. Would love to do pillows and bedding if I found something workable.
I do make small seasonal changes indoors using lighter and brighter accessories in summer but more effort goes into outdoor living spaces. I enjoy bringing out the outdoor furniture with bright rugs, cushions, and pillows for summer entertaining and relaxing. ?
I don’t really do too much of a decor change for summer inside other than using lighter colors and floral arrangements. My home is pretty neutral and I like to focus all my energy into the outdoor spaces. This is our second summer in our new home, so I’m still in the process of getting things where I want them. We are getting our deck finished this week, so I am super excited to set up my patio table and chairs that have been hiding in the basement!
I love TJ Max as I love the unusual items that they sell at such a great price. I always change what i decorate with in the Spring/Summer time. More bird and birdnest, flowers seashells and summer colors. Thank you for the opportunity to win $100.
Nope, don’t really change much for summer. I do change from flannel to cotton sheets and from a flannel duvet to assorted blankets and even bought an actual bedspread this year. It does not of stop my bed topping creativity. Just needed something simpler for a bit. I am a major TJMaxx fan and have to drive 90 miles to Vegas these days compared to back in CA with TJMaxx stores everywhere!
I always change up my mantle in line with the seasons, which usually spurs on subtle changes throughout the whole house.
Summer means the opening of the screened in porch here in Massachusetts. Although our time together is short, it is the hardest working room in the house during the warm months. It needs an annual refresh since it is so well loved. New pillows, some candles and a surprise or two make it a lovely retreat.
Hi Diane-thanks for keeping us posted of all the great things going on in your new home. Inspiration is flowing. For summer, I like to do some things; like add flowers to the dining table, add color using accessories, a wreath on the door is a must. Also, baskets on the porch. I live in a condo so I can’t plant outside so I add color on the Porch. I love change, otherwise I get bored. You can do so much when shopping at your home. Move things around, re-locate them and admire your space. :)
I don’t decorate a lot for summer, but I do try to lighten things up a bit after the dreariness of winter.
I change out little things….add seashells, coral, take away heavier items like throws and silver. Just generally lighten things up, so there’s less to do inside….so I can enjoy bring outside! Thanks for the opportunity! ;)
I do change my decor in the Springtime. The fur throws go away and we change out some of the more formal rugs. Good to know about the TJ Maxx site. Thank you!
I love TJ MAXX. I do little changes but manly like to change things for the summer BBQ
Love TJ’s, and yes I change out my decor seasonally, love getting my outdoors ready for summer!
I am always excited to change my decor to Spring/Summer colors and fabrics! Flowers all over the house making things smell good! It’s the best!
Love T.J. Max items you have shown. Yes, I change out for all seasons. Love Spring through Fall when I decorate my porches as well.
We live in New Jersey so I change our decor with the seasons. I like a lighter, beachy feel in the summer.
Hello, my name is linda, and I love decorating for the seasons. Summer is a favorite with all the beautiful beachy items you can make, or purchase.
I do like to decorate for the summer-mostly porch area and outdoors!
~Our apt. is so small here in Fl. it’s hard to change the decor (No storage space) We are always looking for space saving ideas…..I get a lot from you TY so much :) I would love to go shopping at TJ Maxx…..I’m sure I could get some great ideas as to what to do with all my spices which are EVERYWHERE LOL…..TY :)
In the winter months I like warm and cozy decor. In the summer I like light and airy.
I love following your blog. You are living my dream with a house on the lake.
Thanks for sharing
Summer is my most FAVORITE time of year. And since I reside in Northeast PA where it seems to always be rainy, gloomy or covered in 2-3 feet of snow… I try to decorate my home with fun summertime decor all year long. Can you send some heat up this way? Today’s high is 56 degrees and that’s just not cutting it for this Midwestern girl!
We live in Florida so my home always has a tropical, summer feel. In the summer I do add fresh mulch and often repaint the front door and power wash the house and around the pool so everything has a fresh sunny summer look.
I love to see your updates, but, I do not change décor by the season. Just at Christmas. I do change out my door wreath several times a year. Ideas there?
Actually, I change up a lot of decor for every holiday, especially on my mantel! It’s just fun!
I love summertime!! It’s all about being outdoors!! But I do exchange bed linens and pillows and bring in as many flowers as my garden gives me. Love, love, love T.J. Maxx and Marshalls and Home Goods!! I would love to win the gift card as they are opening a new T.J. Maxx just down the street from me!! I can’t wait!! Thanks Diane…love your blog!!
I like to lighten and brighten, fewer and simpler accessories and more flowers.
I don’t change everything but I do switch up my mantle and add little summer touches throughout my house :)
TJ Maxx is my fave! May not have time to decorate this summer, but the gift card would come in handy!
Hi Diane
I live in warm AZ so I we have only 2 seasons for decorations summer time and chritsmas ?.
Love your blog. Thank you for the give away.
Summer months? I change it up about every time the winds blows. If I sit long enough I’ll start looking around for what I can change out.
Yes, I do change my decor for summer and every season. It’s fun to add pops of color and change throughout the house.
I LOVE to change things up for the summer. I switch out some pictures, pillows and throws, add some flowers and just overall make it a little more airy and bright. Thanks for this chance to win and I am loving what you are doing to your new home.
Hi, Diane!
I have a question for you because I know you like to paint with whites and I looked up your blog entry with white paints you’ve used. We’re getting ready to paint and the landlord is going to take us to Home Depot to look at paint colors. This apartment doesn’t let in much light other than some morning light for a short time. It’s really awfully dark.
What would be the best white paint to let the maximum amount of light bounce around inside and stay white instead of fade to a kind of bone color? I like an eggshell finish with high gloss trim.
Thanks!
Helen
I don’t change decor for the seasons since it is always warm here in Phoenix, AZ. Blazing hot in the summer and warm most of the winter. When it gets to 60 degrees here we are freezing! LOL! I keep neutral walls and punch up color with pillows, towels, and bedspreads. I like light and airy as it makes me feel cooler. Our master bedroom I do not change. It is blue and white and in the summer it just seems to feel cooler. Thanks for the chance to win the gift card.
I usually lighten things up for summer by switching out the bedding, curtains, throw pillow covers with brighter and lighter colors and fabrics. I also love to bring in fresh, fragrant flowers to place around our apartment.
I love to switch out accessories for each new season. Summer brings lighter pillows, glass, and seashells. Thanks for the giveaway.
I usually put away all the heavy throws and change tablecloths to something with brighter colors and flowers. I always change the mantle out for the seasons as well.
Hi, Diane! I do try to lighten things up a bit for summer – switching out the heavier lined curtains for a minimal window treatment… and putting the screens back in! I haven’t been to TJ Max for quite a while, but I’ve always enjoyed my visits there! Enjoy the weekend, and hello to Ed!
Here in the uk we have to take reusable bags, when shopping. When going to TJ’s the bag I take we could all fit in ? So I think it is only right it gets filled!!! As for the little puppy. I have never had a puppy that is naughty chewing things because of an amazing item that we all have, the cardboard roll off the kitchen paper towel. Well we all want to recycle!!! Jen
I try to lighten things up for summer. Our house is small, under 900 sqft, so there’s not a lot of spaces for displaying. Summer bedding and towels are easy to switch without taking up more room. Would love to win and get some new things this year!
Little changes always perk me up. Pretty much always summer here in Florida, but that doesn’t mean we have to be always the same. Love your idea of a neutral base with changes to the pops of color. Love TJ Maxx!
I do try to change my decor for summer. Lighten up with seasonal flowers, lighter colors and lighter linens. I really want to get some new living room curtains that are lighter and more summery. The TJ Maxx card would do the trick and I do love the Home Goods Section of that store!
I switch up the pillows, put away the crochet thrown I keep tucked by the sofa and buy more plants — my house plants don’t have a long life expectancy – never did.
I live full time in an RV right now so my decor is always summer!
I really don’t change much since Florida is pretty much one season lol.
My house is always a work in progress though.
I switch out pillows and put away the cozy throws, add little vases of flowers all over the house and change small accessories. I like celebrating the warmer season.
I take down the heavy curtains and put away the chunky idecorative items. I put jute rugs in the living room and dining room. Crisp white curtains blowing in the air make me think summer.
I am always excited about making changes in my house to welcome each season. Spring always brings changes inside as well as out. I love to garden, and I enjoy bringing the fruits of my labor indoors.
T J Max is the best!
Love, love, love TJ Maxx! They always have stylish things at good prices! I do enjoy changing my decor per the season, and now that we have a pool, I will be incorporating more beach-themed pieces. Can’t wait! Thanks so much for the giveaway. =)
I don’t change mine except for Christmas. I tend to go with a style that works year round. We have a TJ Maxx and Marshalls close by so a lot of my decor has come from there. Its the first place I always check out.
Having moved to an apartment for the time being, I have had little opportunity to do much, but this being my first spring/summer living in the north east, I am so eager to change things up from the drab cold gray months! Definitely in need of a little sunshine, in every way! Thank you.
I change my living room decor every season and holiday. Thanks for a chance to win!
I love to decorate! I always get inpired when I visit T.J. Max! I change up a little something in every room each season and Holiday! I love decorating my front porch too! I have two rocking chairs on my front porch that get fresh new pillows a couple times each year!
I change my floral arrangements and put different pictures up. Also, just add candles that have a lighter scent. Thanks for the opportunity.
Well, we are moving on Monday into our new home. Normally I would say that I get out the baskets of seashells, open the windows and gravitate towards lighter and brighter for spring and summer decor, but now I am in survival mode to just get big furniture into the new house. You have no idea how much a TJ Maxx giftcard would help right now. As I look at some of the stuff to be moved, I keep thinking I hardly want it anymore!
Yes I do! My favorite spring/summer decor piece is a beautiful wreath made for me by a friend. Colorado was a late bloomer this year, so the wreath brought welcome color to my entry.
While I don’t really change my decor that much for summer, this IS our first full summer to use our pool, and I really need some ‘stuff’ to spruce up the pool decking, chairs, etc… a gift card could be just the ticket! Thanks.
I usually just spring clean and bring in a few fresh flowers. I sure would put that TJ Maxx gift card to good use, changing a few things if I could!
I change some accessories but right now we’re stuck in an awkward late winter decorating mode when I really should be moving into beautiful spring mode! TJ Maxx is a great place to start – I’ll run by there this weekend to pre-shop!
Hi, Diane
I love changing things up for the summer. I love those bright colors and love to add them throughout my home.
I usually just plant flowers outside.
I love to bring out beachy themed accents for the summer. I also change some of my framed pictures seasonally the cheap way with free printables I find on Pinterest. I am enjoying the renavation of your lake house.
Every season I switch pillows, throws, table linens, wreaths, and other accent pieces. I like the change and seasonal feel.
Mainly the mantel and entryway, but I also like to move the couch to let in more light (with so many windows and doors there’s not much choice in furniture arrangement). Really enjoy your down-to-earth style.
I do sometimes, but only perhaps different accent pillows or accessories.
I do like to change things up for summer! I am redoing my patio and going with navy Blues, Aqua, and some corals. I will probably use these in my decor for summer too!! Love, love TJMaxx stores!! It is really one of my go tos for decor! Awesome giveaway!
I put away the warm, comfy afghans and pillows and bring out the spring colors.
Yes, I change my decor in the LR for summer. Usually I use less of my style (cottage with French influence) and use pale lavender as the accent color in my light gray w/white trim room. It freshens it up nicely. As soon as the lilacs are in bloom they get a place of prominence too! :-) Pillow are my big ‘change up’ thing with the seasons. I’d love to get new pillows.
I switch some things but not all. I do love playing in my home and changing small things from time to time. Love shopping at T.J.Max!!!!!!!!
Not much changes for this season – but this is the first year since we have been in the house that I am thinking of changing the paint color in our main family room/kitchen living space. I’m excited about it but nervous too to pick just the right color.
Yes! I love everything in your post and all things nautical since we live on a lake, too. I had no idea that TJMaxx was online, so thanks for that info!
I change some decor for summer. I usually go for brighter accent pieces in the main living area.
We don’t switch many things out–just putting away the afghans and extra blankets cleans up the look in our house. I’d love to be able to have some different artwork for the warm months.
I change things up a bit. Would love to pick up a new, lighter throw and maybe some pillows that are light in color and have a spring/summer feel. Didn’t know there was online ordering though. Going to check it out!
I’m always into changing things up and a new season is a lot of inspiration. TJ Maxx is such a great place to find some very enjoyable items.
Yes, absolutely! I change almost every season just because it’s fun. Thanks for the chance… and your wonderful blog!
I do change a few things to lighten up. I changed out my leopard print pillows to an aqua and orange print,my table runner, more plants.
I would use this gift card for bedding.
I had no idea you could shop online at TJ MAX! I change the throws in our living room and our DR table runner and tablescape in the LR.
I love to change thinks up-almost weekly! lol For the warmer months always change my pillows to something fun and bright, bring out my lighter weight throws and of course as soon as there are blooms in the garden I start cutting them to place in vases through out the house. Thanks for the chance to do more updating. Enjoy your weekend.
Yes, I switch up my decor for summer – I make sure the area around the pool and in the sunroom are nice and bright (and filled with towels!). I shop at T J Maxx quite often – thanks for the giveaway opportunity!
Beachy/shell theme.. I used to go all out, but have pared back over time. It’s possible to get a bit carried away.
Oh I really need this gift card. We are decorating the place at the lake with Coral and Gray and need so much stuff.
Yes I change up a few key pieces in the rooms we use daily …..enough to lighten up the feeling when you walk into the room . TJMaxx is a real place for inspiration for ideas and I never come home empty handed
I do like to take on a nautical theme during the summer months. It just freshens everything up after winter. Thanks!
I change small things like accent pillows, throw rugs, comforter & decor items like candles to seasonal colors but that’s about it. I love shopping at T.J. Maxx because I never know what I’ll find that I never knew I needed!
Yes, I do change accessories in the summer. My goal is to do even more than that. We just purchased some navy and gold club chairs for our living room that I love. However, I’m thinking it would be nice to slipcover them in white for the summer. We shall see. TJ Maxx—–my favorite place to shop!
Thanks for letting us know T.J. Max is on line! We have a new one a few miles away and that is good to know!
I do like to lighten things up a bit in the summer and spring since I have fall colors in my home year round. I tend to remove rust color throws and pillows for lighter ones (ivory, soft greens and blues). Also adding fresh flowers around the house that I grow in my garden is a plus!
I’m always changing things up. Each season brings new opportunities to try new colors and schemes.. I’m constantly thinking of the what I’m going to do next. Thank you so much for the chance to win fun money at TJMaxx!!
We just moved this past weekend, so not much of anything is out. But I usually change out pillows and accessories with the season. Looking forward to doing it in our new space. We have some updating to do as well. Kind of like your story Diane, only we moved just a couple of miles.
Not a lot. I switch out pillows and some of my accessories. Just too much work otherwise.
Changing my decor in the summer is a must. I live in Chandler, Arizona. And, I have no patio shade, no pergola, no gazebo. And a huge pseudo bay window on a ranch style home. 110..115… and counting. So, I do my best to lighten things up in the home and am still working on finding decorative room darkening window fixings.
I change some small things around during the summer and switch out colors, etc. I would love to be able to change around my entire home to suit the seasons!
Love to change it up for the summer and TJMax is my favorite store in our little town.
Love your giveaways (even if I haven’t won one yet, still a fun thing)! My change-of-season routine is to swap out accessories, particularly the painting above the mantel and a few other table-top and end table items. Sometimes just a small change or re-placement gives a fresh look.
I like to change out some items based on the seasons. We live in a coastal town so switching out to summer items is always fun. TJX is the best!
I switch out our beds from colorful flannels to white cotton sheets. Everyone’s room immediately looks fresh and cool. To me, that’s the biggest sign of summer’s arrival.
Yes, i change it up for the summer. I have a lot of tan in my house so I have to brighten it up for the hot months. Lots of white and navy with 1 new pop of color.
Hi Diane. I love to change things for the summer. Like my front door and my bathroom. Right now I am working on my living room and dining room. Reprinting and redoing the hard wood floors.
I love going in TJ Maxx and looking for new ideas!!
About all I do is change out accessories – basic room design stays the same.
I like to change things up for the seasons! Thanks for the giveaway. I know I could find lots of things to buy!
Thanks for the opportunity to share. I change our bedroom into a beach theme with some nautical theme accessories and blue/green bed linens and white sheets on the Windows. Closest I can get to the water living in the middle of Illinois.
I love to make changes for each season. Summer is even more fun because of adding all the flowers. I love shopping at TJ Maxx and I’m happy to find out I can shop online for their items.
Love TJM. I do tend to dust off things and move them around as the seasons change. I love shopping for new treasures to add here and there.
I do like to change things up for each season … my hubby was forewarned about this though, so it’s fine! My Nanny had an all white bathroom and she had 5 sets of co-ordinates that she would put out as the whim struck. One month it would be all purple, the next all yellow. Towels, mat, fake flowers and valance all got swapped out frequently. I loved it!
I love TJ Max and do decorate for the seasons. Love your blog and enjoy seeing the changes you are making to your new home. You living on a lake is my all time dream.
I switch out comforters and pillow. I love T.J. Max and they have awesome finds to make my home look and feel great.
Yes. I take the quit off our bed and put on a white Matelasse spread. I love how bight it makes the bedroom. I also bring in flowers and add flowers around the patio in planters and pots. I love sunshine! A TJ Maxx gift card would be sweet to add some more summer punch in the house!
Thank you for being a great inspiration!
So glad you choose to make South Carolina home!
From Clemson, Sue!(insert Tiger paw)

Love to shop at TJMax for my home! I like to change the pops of color around the house during different seasons.
Three years ago I moved from Ohio (lived there for 40 years), to Brooklyn, New York. What a change and in an apartment no less! So for the last three years I haven’t been able to change over for the seasons due to a lot in storage. But we’re moving to Florida in a couple of weeks, and i can’t wait to have a house again. I love changing things from afghans to curtains for the lighter seasons. I want people to walk in and notice right away that it’s spring! To say I love T. J. Maxx is an understatement. And now you tell us you can purchase things online from them? Uh oh!
Yes, I definitely change for the seasons. For spring and summer I change out my florals, lighten up my bedding, change out some of my pillows, change out my placemats, pare down some of the decor for a lighter feel, remove a rug here and there. Of course outdoors there are lots of thing to do. Add fresh flowers to the planters, add annuals to the beds, freshen up mulch…
I love summer in Florida! I change my flower colors outside to pink and yellow or orange and hot pink. Inside, I change winter pottery and glassware colors to clear and bright colors. Hope I win!
I love changing my decor during the summer months. Lots of flowers, wicker, and bright pillows to lighten up my living space.
I do switch out a few things, but not many. If I have heavy candlesticks or candles, I usually put those away. And sometimes I like to swap out the throw pillows on the couch. But mostly I like to add things – flowers from the garden! My gardenia bush is blooming now and my favorite thing is to clip little blossoms and put them in shot glasses all over the house. Summer will soon be here in Texas!
I changed my beddings to pastel shabby chic ambiance. I regularly shop at TJ MAX
At the very least I change out something on my deck. There’s lots of items at TJMaxx that I’d love to use on my deck.
Yes! I change out quite a bit each season.
Summertime for me is seashells, pastels and plants.
T.J. Maxx is the best!! I change my bedding and put lots of flowers on the deck and use it as another room all summer!
I love T J Maxx and I always change things up for the seasons. I usually swap out flowers and pillows and accessories to go with whatever season it is. It’s not too big of a change but makes a huge difference in the room.
I usually swap out the heavy winter stuff for summer simply because the Michigan winter seems to drag! and I can hardly wait for warm weather.
I change out accessories like pillows, throws and tabletop accents with the seasons and holidays. I am a regular at TJ Maxx as they help me to stay current with styles without spending a bundle.
Thank you for sharing your idea!
I love TJ Maxx! I change the permanent flowers around my house by the season, purchasing most at TJ Maxx!!! I’ll have to look online too.
Thanks Diane for an awesome blog with ideas that even I can copy!
I love your blog! Your fireplace amke over was the best! Very impressive! I hope you win that contest! I change out my spring/summer and fall/winter decor. I like bright colors like teal and blue for summer and warm colors for winter like orange and red.
I should own stock at TJ Maxx as I am always there. I am a Home Stager and always changing accessories and things up in my home with the seasons. Love your site!
I like T J Maxx. I change my bedding and use fresh flowers for summer.
I do change things up a bit. Pillows, throws, prints and I love flowers.
So glad to learn that TJ Maxx sells things online now. Yes, I always change my decor with the seasons and summer is my favorite season to decorate for!
I’d love to change decor for the summer, but I got a puppy in the fall and had to put everything away after finding out she is somewhat destructive. no more pillows on the couch and most of the rugs are gone for now. Thank goodness we have tile floors throughout the house
I never knew TJMaxx had a website, but I love the store.
Thanks for the nice giveaway.
I do indeed change my decor! I switch out my vases with spring-like dried hydrangeas and add light colored rugs and candles. Pillows are. of course, a must as well. :)
I love everything related to the beach, so I like to change out pillows and accent pieces for the summer. Our patio continues the casual coastal theme since we spend so much time outside! I live TJ Maxx!!
Love everything you shared today! I always wished they had shopping online so thanks for letting us know. I always change my pillow covers for summer and change out my throws too. We also switch to quilts on our bed. Love summer decorating!
I love to change out my door decorations = a three doors in my home. I love metal art and have many pieces that I place throughout our almost one acre-in-the-city property. It’s fun to walk around the property and look at all my fun yard art, including a real, but not in service, fire hydrant. My husband laughs when I have to use his large utility cart to bring the art out of the shed for the spring/summer season. I love the color, the vitality the art brings to the yard.
I change things minimally… But I love doing it.
I would buy new rugs, towels and shower curtain for my master bath. Thanks for the giveaway!
Changing things for warmer months makes everything feel fresher! Love TJ max.
I tend to go nuts with seasonal decor changes. Now that Spring & Summer are here I can take my obsession outdoors. Bright pillows on the patio furniture, hanging lanterns from the gazebo, and colorful pots filled with beautiful flowers. Now with having TJ max online would give me sensory overload!! Do I dare look while trying to get ready for work? Lol.
I love the NICOLE MILLER
6pc Violet Floral Comforter Set. Just what I was looking for. I had no idea they were online! Thank you
Love . TJ Maxx: but for the summer I like to change out pillows in my house. Outrside I put up a very inexpensive Harbor Freight pop up canopy on my deck to provide more shade. Love the summer in Kentucky – this saturday is Derby day and we celebrate by planting our vegtable garden and buying our potted plants.
Summer is the time for major projects at my house, so while I don’t really decorate for the season, I do renovate!
As a retired teacher I always change things in my home and front porch for holidays and seasons just as I did in my classroom. I change pillows, accent pieces, pictures, dining table accents and curtains and pillows in the master bedroom. It is fun and inspiring and I find great ideas on your blog!
I change out our bedding and lighten up the room with summer curtains and new throws. Would love a chance to win the gift card!
I would definitely pick up some fun stuff to decorate my deck-I have a screen gazebo and we are out there all summer!
I add and subtract some seasonal items, but mostly just spend more time outdoors. We fill our planters and enjoy the sun, if it ever arrives this year.
Have never had the opportunity to decorate for the seasons. This would be a great opportunity,especially now that T.J. Maxx is available online. Thank you for this opportunity to win the gift card?
Hi, yes I do change up some of my decorating items for the summer. I a dresser in the entrance way I decorate for all the different holidays and seasons. Thanks for the chance to win. I am actually heading to TJ’s in a few minutes!
I wish I could get with a theme, I wish I could go shopping and buy a bunch a once but I don’t, I buy a piece here and there, so it never looks coordinated. :(
I love to decorate for the changing seasons/holidays. I just finished putting a new light blue tablecloth with sailboats on our dining room table and have my eye on a metal sailboat that would serve as a serving dish from TJ Maxx, just trying to not buy anything else new right now. On the living room coffee table I have a blue seashell tray holding a small yellow starfish dish and a white ceramic lantern that we use at night. The rocker in the same room has a new “stars and stripes” lobster pillow that I also purchased from TJ Maxx. And my great-grandmother’s antique table in the foyer has our collection of NC lighthouses with a canvas sailboat picture adorning the wall over it also from TJ Maxx. Do you see a pattern here? Yes, I LOVE that store! Great decor at fantastic prices!
I don’t change my decor specifically for summer. I change accessories periodically. I like to shop TJ Maxx for home goods.
TJMaxx has great seasonal decor. I change up the front entry and back porch for the spring and summer.c
I live near the beach where we celebrate a casual coastal style that tends towards summer year round. I do add and subtract decor for a new aesthetic as well as function. More outside entertaining new bar art outdoor table ware etc
I am a TJ Maxx fan! I have found some spectacular decorating items that have inspired me to change out my décor for summer, holidays,etc. So I do change out things seasonally. I do wander the aisles there, getting lots of inspiration.
I mainly change things line lighter bedding….take off the down comforter and add a white mattelesse cover, crisp white sheets, etc. Thanks for the give away!
I change the accents on the porch, the fabric on the wicker rockers, and wreath on the door. On the inside I switch out a few floor rugs and add some seasonal flowers here and there for a pick-me-up.
I’m a fickle pickle with my decor style, so frequently change things up entirely. I choose core colors, shapes, etc. & then switch out accessories to create a different style. Love TJ Max to the max!
I change out my tablescape,wreaths,small things. I also change the pillow colors to lighten it up
I change seasonally a little bit. Spring/Summer to fall/winter, I do throws and pillows that are appropriate to the season. And I change the bed linens according to seasons as well. Definitely electric blankets and warm comforters for fall and winter. Light and airy linens for late spring and summer. I sure would like the TJMax beautiful linens featured! I also change up the kitchen linens, table cloths, tea towels, placemats, and runners.
I change out my tablescape,wreaths,small things. I also change the pillow colts to lighten it up
I remove my small things and choose larger pieces is white. It feels cooler to have less on the tables. I display fruit in a white ceramic basket. It is summer now.
Smiles
I usually change up linens and add some plants for summer. Most of my decorating is done outside.
I like to move things when the holidays come around or when an idea I see inspires me. Get so many great ideas from all the wonderful blogs on line and from Pinterest. ,
Living in the desert where temps reach over 100 degrees every day in the summer it can be difficult to find decorative items that can withstand the heat and sun! (that’s why spring and fall are fun to add some exterior decorative touches.) Inside in the summer I like to add lively pillows in lighter weight fabrics, table runners, flowers (fresh and silk) to brighten up the space that we need to keep dark to stay cool! I also roll up the rugs to expose the cool tile floors!
Fun picnic-ware is used both indoors and at the pool – but it has to be non breakable plastic or metal! And yes, TJMaxx always has something fun to add to the mix!
Yes I do change up for the season. I change linens on the beds and add fresh flowers from my garden.
I don’t change things indoors for summertime. I focus on plants and flowers outside because that’s wehere we spend a lot of our time during the summer evenings. Thanks for offering this wonderful giveaway. So happy to hear about online availability of TJ Maxx items!!
My enclosed porch heading to our pool area gets the color treatment in spring, summer and fall. I’ve used your advice on covering bench/swing cushions to keep the colors fresh.
Absolutely. Live by the water in SE Massachusetts…love to get that coastal, beachy look working in the house. TJmaxx always has such great finds to help!
I love TJMaxx and their great items. I am constantly changing my decor, so I don’t always focus on summer or a season other than holidays. TJMaxx offers so many great buys that it is easy to add to one’s home.
I do not change a lot in my decor other than decorating in the fall and at Christmas. I do add some flowers around the house in the spring though.
I do simple changes. Different pillows, runners, lighter weight throws and lots of plants on the screened porch.
I change small, but several areas, many times during our blessed, long, wonderful summer. I especially change bed covers several times a week. And my mantel (sad to say I have a real working fireplace) gets changed frequently, unlike our fabulous weather!
I often change my home’s decor for the summer – usually by sewing new covers for the throw pillows in my home. I also like to decorate the patio!
We will be moving from a condo to a house this summer, which will give me an opportunity to spread out my wings and decorate for seasons and holidays. Right now, we just do basic decorations as space is tight. TJMaxx is pretty awesome. We have one very close to us and I go there almost every other week. Hahaha!
I live in a condo with no outdoor space so just change flowers in my condo seasonally. I do love ordering from tjmaxx.com. I was in Puerto Rico this past winter. I needed a new bathing suit. I ordered it from tjmaxx.com and had it within 5 days. Love tjmaxx.com!
I change decors often, not really by seasons (except holiday seasons).
Hello Diane! We greatly enjoy the summer months here in New Jersey. I change things up by switching out pillows and throw covers on the sofas. I also add flowers, fresh and faux, to various rooms.
I LOVE TJ Max as much as I LOVE your blog. You both have been inspiring me for years!
Bev
We don’t change much. Rearrange some of the furniture so it’s out of the kids way and put away the racks to hold winter gear. Other than that, anything I try to do gets buried.
T. J. Maxx is the best you never know what you’ll find. My fav Villary and Boch mugs came from there! Have to checkout their online!
I do change my decor for summer! I try to lighten things up..make it fresh & airy..beachy look lol
I LOVE TJ Maxx!! Thanks for the chance to win!
Joey J.
I try to change our small hall table and mirror decor out seasonally with anything cheap or free! For the summer season, I’d like to change the look based on my daughter’s summery finger-painting she did about a month ago–it has brights yellows, greens, oranges, purples, and reds, and reminds me of a beach ball. Bringing the ocean colors (or in our case the Columbia river colors) into the house is always fun!
I love to change small things for the seasons & holidays! I usually swap out my pillow covers that I make & my kitchen/ dining table linens and decor get changed out for the seasons as well. I do the same thing for my front door/entry way.
Love T.J. Max! Haven’t changed things up yet, but might if and when inspiration hits! I sometimes roam the aisles there looking for inspiration.
