Style Show-and-Tell

“My husband and I take as much pride in our summer yard decor as we do in our inside decor,” says Sherri Calvert of southern Illinois. When they purchased this antique farm wagon a couple of years ago, Sherri knew it would be perfect for anchoring seasonal displays, including this summertime setup that features a painted pail and a patriotic wreath.

Christy Little of Greenville, South Carolina, says she likes to create a collected look for her home by mixing high-end, big-box-store, antique, vintage and thriftstore finds. She shares her ideas on the Our Southern Home blog. One of the places she enjoys updating every season is her expansive front porch. “I easily take my porch from an everyday look to patriotic with the addition of a few items from the dollar store,” she notes.
