Because summer in New England is so short, be sure and find ways
to spend plenty of time out-of-doors
- Set a festive table for dinner outside – even
if just for yourself! Use colorful tableware, light some
candles (citronella for bug protection), and enjoy!
- Use outdoor lighting to highlight plants, trees, walkways – whatever
you prize. Just avoid the “runway” effect with
too much, too bright.
When
entertaining, bring the indoors out with rugs, pillows – even
the nice crystal and china!
- Or you can bring the outdoors in by using casual outdoor furniture
in your décor. Wicker looks great inside or out. And
try a piece of yard art in your foyer!
- Keep flowers from your garden around at all times. Put
a bit of salt in the water to make the blooms last longer.
- Not able to grow flowers for cutting? Keep a bowl of
a summer-scented potpourri somewhere special.
