(

We are heading straight into Summer and with all the great activites to do then we probably stay busy but that doesn´t mean people aren´t watching TV in the Summer months. 

I wanted to share nine shows with you guys that would be perfect to watch in the Summer months (in terms of fashion and locations and weather). 

9 shows to watch this Summer

Country Comfort

Haven´t watched this one yet but I really loved the trailer and I think it is a very fun and light summer show to watch. A country bar singer turns into a nanny of five. Who wouldn´t love a country show.

Surviving Summer

Not my favorite at all cause those snotty teenagers are a real handful but I loved the ocean views and all the surf scenes.

Lincoln Lawyer

The best lawyer show in my opinion. Just the right amount of excitement, mystery and drama plus the sleek outfits don´t hurt at all. 

One Piece

One of my favorite childhood shows. Of course it was still only animated back then but I was so excited when I heard that there will be a new show starring real people. Season one is all about getting the crew together and I just can not wait for season two and all of the ocean adventures.

Sweet Magnolias

I have always loved everything southern and this really is a gem of a show. The houses, the outfits, the hair and of course the southern mentality and hospitality. Can´t wait for the next season.

Griselda

Still not sure how I like it but it was not a very long show to watch. Only had a few episodes. I thought it was great how she built her empire until she got mad and turned herself in at the end. Very violent watch with lots of dead people and drugs but the true story of Griselda Blanco.

Selling the OC

I have started this a long time ago and was so over the drama at the end of season one but somehow gave it another chance and I am a few episodes into season two and like it a lot (at the moment, this can change very fast). The outfits are great and the houses with the ocean front views are just too die for. 

Selling Sunset

This has been my favorite show for a long time and I would have never thought that I will hate it this much at the end. It was great until season three but then everything took a turn for the worst. They all turned on each other. I am not even sure if there where house showings in season three cause things went down the drain so fast. The outfits got super slutty (I would never buy a house of a realtor looking like that – there is a very fine line between super stylish and sexy and what some of the girls are wearing).

The Summer I turned pretty

I loved the first season but wasn´t a fan of the second one. Too much anger and confusion. I loved the backdrops, the starring people, the awsome Summer moments and the dreamy houses. Hopefully season three picks up again and it will be better.

It was definitely time to do something with our boring hallway. I have thought about it for months and I came to the conclusion that just some color wasn´t enough. It had to be wallpaper and a mirror with a wow factor right at the entrance of to our hallway.

Color Theme

We had a blue runner in the hallway and the whole decor was also very blue and silver and gray and white but to be honest I do not like gray anymore. It is just too much in this house. This has to change so I was looking for a wallpaper with a beige background. I had several in my cart but decided on the greenery one. I has different kinds of palm trees on it and looks superior in the halln äü

  

 

What I have changed

In fact I have changed everything except the furniture. The statement piece besides the gorgeous wallpaper is the wooden mirror. It hits the eye right when you enter the room. The decor also matches perfectly and if you look closely I have used an old picutre we had in the old office before. 

It was a very quick process to paint the wall and add the wallpaper. All in all it might have taken half a day but the impact on this little room is huge. It makes me just so happy seeing it this way everyday I come home.

Don´t we all strive to take nice photos especially on the special days of the year!!! I personally like aesthetically pleasing picutures and I know not everyone agrees but in my opinion you do have much more joy with this kind of photos than having some trash or toys or anything else in the background you do not want to have. My meassurement of a great backdrop is do I want to frame this picture and have it sit on my sideboard ??!! A question you should ask yourself. If it is no a great homemade backdrop comes in handy and I am going to tell you how to get there.

Photoworthy Background for your Home Photos

For me personally it all starts with the balloon arch and then I go on from there. I make up my mind what colors I would like to have and then I go online and see what they offer. Most times I get a set but sometimes I buy the balloons individually. Totally depends.

So for this photo setup I went with a fringe curtain for the background and worked my way around it with a big balloon garland and some garlands. Since I had so much arch on the left I wanted to balance it out a little and got this flower string on the right. Cute and effective. You could also use this for kids pictures or some photos with your spouse.

The Valentine´s theme had to have bright red and whites and confetti balloons but there are no boundaries in terms of color combinations.

Toddler Art Cart Organization….

I have shared our art corner in our living room years ago and since we have moved everything into our playroom (reveal coming soon) we have added lots and lots of things to it. I have rearranged it several times but I think it finally looks good the way it is (might change my opinion in a little bit but for now it is all right, also this always depends on what art and crafts materials we have at the moment).

Art Cart Organization

We have the Ikea Rashult cart and it has the perfect size for all of our stuff. It has three stories and we have hanging container on one side to so it holds a lot of stuff.

The hanging container are also from Ikea but you can buy them on amazon or Temu as well. 

Organizing has always been my thing but to be honest it is hard with two small children but definitely manageable. So let´s start with the top storey. I have a little wooden divider (it can be also used for mail or clutches) and I have put all of our sticker and drawing books in there. We have a bunch and this ways we can finally see what we got. 

On the middle storey I have another divider to hold different kinds of papers/sheets. We also have felt sheets and foam rubber sheets here as well as sticker and a little basket for loose sticker and our googly eyes.

You can find all the small things on the lower level like washi tapes, erasers is cute shapes, stencils and anything else that could find a place in an art cart. 

I have got the golden letters on the hanging bins from amazon and it definitely helps to clean up faster and easier when you know where stuff goes.
