Seven on Saturday: Beautiful Details & Favorite Things
Happy Saturday, friends! Can you believe we’re already in the thick of August? We had a few beautiful cool days last weekend, but now it’s back to the familiar summer heat in Kentucky. We’re still trying to make the most of our screened porch, even if it’s a bit muggy! Caroline started school on Wednesday, and I’m honestly not quite ready to say goodbye to summer yet.

It’s been a busy summer around here! After wrapping up May with two bridal showers at our home, a fun day at the Kentucky Oaks, and the usual end-of-school activities, we dove into the busy summer months!
We helped design and decorate a wedding for some dear friends, took a family trip to Hilton Head, and had a wonderful couples’ trip to the lake.
In the midst of it all, we navigated some health challenges with our parents and spent a lot of time working through car troubles (long story, but now we have a new car!). On top of that, I’ve been hobbling around with an stress-fractured foot, which has made things a bit slower. Maybe I am starting to get ready for summer to wind down a bit after all!
Let’s catch up! What have you been up to this summer! I’d love to hear in the comments!
On the Blog:
It’s been a quiet summer here on the blog, but I’m back with a fresh post on decorating with hydrangeas! I’m also sharing a couple of related posts below to help bring a little more summer charm to your home as we hold on to these last few weeks.
I adore hydrangeas! If you love them as much as I do, this post is full of inspiration for how to style them around your home!

Seven Things I’m Loving This Weekend:

- Wendy’s bedroom makeover is so pretty!
- Make a gorgeous beach trip memento with these map decoupage seashells!

Favorite Finds:
- This pop-up beach canopy was a life-saver at the beach this year! It was easy to put up and take down, and provided wonderful shade for our whole crew!
- These walking sandals are so comfortable! I wear them all summer long, and they were a life-saver for my stress-fractured foot this summer!
- This little trash can with an automatic lid in our primary bathroom is my favorite!! It may sound silly but the little automatic lid is perfect for tossing trash in a tight little area — like our water closet!
That’s all for this Saturday! I hope you have a wonderful weekend! Let me know in the comments what you’re loving this week.
