It kind of feels like somebody is messing with me. All of a sudden, and without warning, it's HOT in Indiana. Like steamy hot. I find myself unprepared in every way. It seems like winter lasted until May, and then summer was here overnight. I may not be mentally prepared for summer, but my house sure is! I'm super-pumped to be sharing my summer living room with you today as part of the Seasonal Simplicity Summer Home tour hosted by the lovely, Krista from The Happy Housie. My home sources ...

I'm kind of tired of the hot, humid weather. BRING ON FALL!!! My house is making it's annual transition to fall too.
