Oh wow, did you see all 30 homes on last week’s tours? Every home was amazing. I found so much inspiration and so many tips for changes I would like to make to my own home and also decorating ideas too. I’ve been busy adding summer around the entire house, so I thought I would show you how I’ve changed out my family room and master bedroom. Welcome to 2022 Summer Home Tour – Part 2
As you probably know, I love color sometimes and lots of it, then there are times when I am almost neutral. Sometimes I am even halfway in between these two, so you never know what I might like at any moment. Since I had super bright yellow and black for Spring – (if you missed it, you can see that post here. ) – I thought something a little calmer was in order.
If you saw my 2022 Summer Home Tours – My Home, you saw this picture. It shows how you can see from the front door all the way to the back of the house where the family room and kitchen are.
When you enter from the living room area, you have the family room on the right and the kitchen on the left. Again I love the light that these big windows bring in. These two recliners are the favorite seats in the house.
The sofa is where I have fun switching out colors and pillows. My horse painting has great color and so much character that it is really the showstopper in the room. It is a great focal point.
I love the tv console, the lighter wood is a great contrast to the wood floors. It adds another color and texture to the room.
The cowhide rug plays well off the horse painting and helps to anchor the room. Since this is a smaller room, the round glass coffee table doesn’t seem to take up any space, but I still have room for a few accessories and even a fun tic-tac-toe game.
If you turn around you will see the kitchen on the other side of this room. The back of the house is the breakfast area, kitchen, and family room. This is where we spend most of our time.
The kitchen isn’t huge, but it functions really well and it’s one of my favorite places to be. I enjoy cooking.
The breakfast area holds my trestle table and seats 8 really comfortably. We have great family meals here.
Now let’s go upstairs and take a peek at the Master Bedroom. For the summer months, I thought it was time to take off a few layers and lighten up the bed linens. I moved the leather chair from the living room into the bedroom and moved the white chair I had here down to the living room. Musical chairs are always fun.
One of my favorite colors is soft camel and this works so well in this room with the rug and headboard pattern.
I removed the heavier camel quilt that I had at the foot of the bed and added a few new pillows in soft camel to change things up a bit. I love the soft camel and white on these pillows.
A simple bouquet on the dresser is all I’ve used. I am trying to learn, less is more.
That’s it for this season’s 2022 Summer Home Tour – Part 2. Hope you enjoyed visiting my home and hope you found tons of inspiration for your own summer decor.

Marty,
You have a peninsula, an island AND a table that seats eight and you say that your kitchen isn’t huge?! That is huge in my book! Besides, it is BEAUTIFUL! Well, your entire house is beautiful and your love of family shines through it!
