I shouldn’t complain since last summer we were heads down in renovation madness but boy do we have a busy couple of weeks! In fact, I’m pretty sure we’re doing something every weekend through mid-August. All happy, happy occasions and catching up with those we love (and abandoned last summer!) though. Unfortunately, our DIY projects may suffer from our social calendar. So let’s end this week with some pretty summer projects from the blogosphere instead…

1. My Sweet Savannah made this cute towel rack out of a discarded wood panel. So simple and fun!
2. Speaking of weekend’s filling up, don’t forget to set aside the 15th for Dad! I’ve never been one for extravagant gifts valuing an experience or memory over stuff but homemade gifts certainly trump all! The Chic Self is whipping up some homemade shaving cream for Dad which looks surprisingly simple!
3. Daily Dream Decor walks us through a fab house with retro touches. This antique kitchen island is my favorite!
4. I happen to share Jones Design Company’s love of white bedding. Is there anything better than flopping into big poufy white duvet at the end of a long day? It’s like floating on a cloud!
5. Another stunning house tour came from Savvy Home. This Montauk Cottage is exactly what you’d want from a beach house- especially this huge shower stall to wash off after a day in the sand.
