IN EACH ROOM â—½ HOME
I always love seeing images of fruit bowls in photos on the internet, and I love the color yellow for summer. Lemons are a great way to incorporate yellow into our home décor. In fact, yellow is awesome and can be added anywhere, as well as green…with limes. Here are a few ways to decorate your home so that it looks like the season we’re approaching:
​
If you have a cute bowl, perhaps one that a candle was in, or any pretty bowl you can use, a set of three lemons looks pretty, and the bowl can be placed anywhere you need a bit of color!
​
We have a veranda yellow rose, and with a few of those in a vase, alongside a lemon or two…it makes for a pretty setting on top of maybe an antique flat dish that you have.
​
Light, height, color and texture is always a good “rule of thumb” for decorating a corner. If you have an elevated stand, you can top it with a small plant (height), a votive (tea light) and a lemon (color). And you have it!
You might see some yellow wildflowers that you can pick and arrange in a vase you have at home. Then place a few limes on either side. Summer scene anyway you pick it…
Have you tried the pickle lemonade from Popeyes? It might be something you want to enjoy next time you’re out! And then go home and make your own lemonade, maybe with mashed blueberries – so many options on line for recipes! Make it in a pretty pitcher and let it adorn the shelf in your fridge as it chills for your next summer picnic!
I haven’t tried this idea, but lemon slices in a clear vase (how do they stay there?) looks so pretty around a bouquet of fresh flowers. Trader Joe’s has the best affordable bunches of blooms!
Have you tried potpourri on your stove in water, with lemons? Add rosemary sprigs, some springs of mint if you want, a dash of vanilla, and some lemon slices (from two lemons). Bring to a boil then simmer and enjoy. Be sure to not let your pot run dry!
Yellow is a great summer color, and lemon anything is a great piece of décor, and even something cute to wear. I’ve seen lots of cute tees and blouses with lemons on them!
