One of the designs/looks that makes us think of summer and fun times are those big and bold Cabana stripes. You often see these on beach towels, lounge chair cushions, and summer attire—and of course on cabanas, a style of shelter found near beaches or pools.   

This time of year is great for outside gatherings on your porch, balcony, deck, or yard.  Create a bar cart from a side table that will become the home base for all fun gatherings.  Small and compact, this bar cart will fit in any space while providing a place to serve drinks, hold glasses and stash other entertaining essentials. 

Summertime and the living is easy, especially when you use Mother Nature’s creations for your DIY projects.  The sunflower symbolizes the current season with its bright colors and happy, carefree look.  Use it as inspiration to transform two side tables from sorry to soaring!  Sunflowers are my favorite flower, so seeing them all over the community makes me smile.
