As the weather improves, our thoughts move to the outside.  But there's still plenty you can do on the inside as well!

• Shop flea markets and tag sales for pretty frames.  Hang them in a collage for an interesting take on 'art' .
  
  
• Change pillows and window treatments to lighter weight fabrics.   Even rugs can be changed to a natural fiber (such as sisal) - or eliminated altogether.
  
  
• Keep fresh flowers indoors throughout the summer.  If you don't have a cutting garden, buy inexpensive bouquets at the grocery store.  Place 2 or 3 stems in several small vases (use different heights) for a stunning centerpiece.  Or match the vases and line 3 of them in the center of the table for a more symmetrical arrangement.
  
  
• Clean out your bookshelves.  Add some interesting art (you can even hang it on the back - or front - of a shelf) and a couple of colorful accessories.  But don't add too much.  Enjoy the spaciousness!
  
  
• Change all of your bathroom accessories to white - white towels, white rug, white shower curtains - for a refreshing change.  Just make sure to include some texture to keep it from getting boring.

• Lighten your bedroom by putting away the quilts and heavy bedding and using a lightweight coverlet instead.  Matelasse is always a great summer choice.
