As the summer season tiptoes into the cooler, cozier days of fall, the lush greens of summer transform into the reds and golds of autumn. With those brightly colored leaves come cooler (and very welcome!) nights around the firepit, lazy mornings with steaming cups of coffee, and many of the nicest temperatures of the year in Wisconsin.

We’ve hit the midway point of the busy summer season, with the 4th behind us and those lazy August days still ahead. Summer season = travel season, and often, that means hosting family and friends at the lake.

There’s something about summer that always brings with it a sense of renewal–budding leaves, fresh grass, fragrant lilacs and flowering trees. There’s hope in the summer, from the anticipation of boat rides and nature walks to lazy afternoons and friends around the campfire. We love bringing that sense of hope and optimism into our home decor to match the vibrancy happening outside this time of year!

We did it, folks! We’re nearing the very end of another Wisconsin winter (mild, though it was!) and just as our outdoor landscape is changing, so, too, are this year’s home trends.
