Hi lovely friends!

I hope you all had a wonderful 4th of July holiday weekend!  (my US friends :) )
I did but we sure have been having some crazy storms around here.

Alrighty, it’s time for a little wrap up in case you missed anything last month.

June’s month in review.

I’ll also be sharing posts from my food blog, Foodie Chicks Rule

……………………………………………………………………………………………….

First up was my Summer Home Tour…..

Coastal Summer Home Tour - with Balsam Hill - Coastal Decor - #nautical #coastal #homedecor #summerhometour artsychicksrule.com

I decorate with a coastal touch anyway but stepped it up a notch for the summer!
See the full tour here … “Coastal Summer Home Tour“.

Then I shared this pretty chest makeover I did using General Finishes Milk Paints.

I am always a sucker for this shade of blue! Love that I was able to achieve it with those two colors.

I shared this tutorial for making a seashell and beaded wind chime…..

How about this super sturdy DIY bench?

I made this in an afternoon’s time. If I can, you can!
So happy to have some seating on the other side of my table now.

I found some gold dipped glass jars at a retail store…but didn’t want to pay retail!

Easy DIY Gold Dipped Jars - Do It Yourself - Thrift Store for 3.50 (compared to retail of 50) - #diy #golddipped artsychicksrule

So I found some glass jars at the thrift store and made my own.
(big savings too, $3.50 compared to $50)

My friends and I shared how we decorate with trays (and invited you to join in too!)

Changes are coming in the Dining room! 
I shared a bit of what I’m looking to do with a dream board I created.
