Simple Summer Dining Room
Create a fresh and beautiful simple summer dining room to enjoy all season. Add in summer touches for a laid back outdoorsy look.
St. Louis has officially skipped right over spring and went straight into summer. Honestly, saying goodbye to open window season is always such a bummer.
But, that just means decorating for summer can start a bit earlier.
And what I say I’m decorating for summer, that doesn’t mean I’ve overhauling the place. My spring and summer decor are pretty much one and same. However I like to really simplify and keep things lighter.
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.
Adding Greenery
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.
Faux or the real deal. It’s always nice to have the option to just go outside and cut some branches to bring the outside in.
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!
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?
Where did you find the centerpiece greenery? It looks perfect!
The faux eucalyptus is from Kirklands! It’s the best I’ve found!
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!
Lovely!
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!
