Reunited and it feels so good! It’s been some time my friends, but I am back at it with so much to share! If you’ve been following along you know my husband and I are currently going through an infertility journey, so that has been our main focus for a while. I’ll share where we are at with that whole story soon, but for now we are taking a little break over the summer from it all and having some fun!
Creating and home design will always be my passion and my outlet, so it feels so great to get back to working on projects and sharing them with you all here on the blog. I owe you guys a big thank you for being patient and always sticking around, and for reaching out over the past few months. You all are truly the best!
Now on to the good stuff! St. Louis has officially skipped right over spring and went straight into summer. RIP open windows weather. Boo! But, that just means decorating for summer came a little bit earlier! My good friend Sarah from She Holds Dearly put together this fun little blog hop with some of my favorite ladies, so be sure to visit their blogs for even more summer decor ideas! Let the summer fun begin!
Welcome to my Simple Summer Dining Room! There are so many times I start to decorate and add and add and add and add more and more stuff, only to strip it back down to the bare minimum and go simplistic. Less is more lately in my book.
I love adding greenery to any space, but even more so in the spring and summer. It just makes the room feel alive and so fresh, just in time for the new season.
I’m on the hunt for a new, bigger hutch for this space, but until then I love to line the shelves with ironstone and mix in a little galvanized metal. I think the two pair well together, and of course I love displaying my vintage finds and new ones too.
I also love this oversized plaid table runner I picked up! I feel like it’s very picnic-y. Is that a word? Who knows, now it is!

I’m in love with your table centerpiece, that plant mister is too pretty! Your hutch is always so beautifully decorated. I can’t wait to see what new hutch you pick out. I know it’ll be stunning!
Sarah | She Holds Dearly says
Ashley, I could just sit and stare at your dining all day. You have such a way of creating and capturing beauty in the home. And, yes, to the editing, I do more and more of that with decor the older I get. Someday you and I are going to have to go antiquing together, how fun would that be?
Charity says
Where did you find the centerpiece greenery? It looks perfect!
Ashley Broviak says
The faux eucalyptus is from Kirklands! It’s the best I’ve found!
Missy says
Hi Ashley! Love your blog…and that centerpiece! I see your comment about finding the faux eucalyptus at Kirkland’s. Was it in the store or online? Do you have a link? Thanks so much!

So pretty! I love the little potted rosemary and the “picnic-y” table runner. I have to admit I’m pretty excited about the hot weather!
