Fearless Friday, Summer Decor with a Paint Brush

In March we talked about Spring Decorating Ideas with Paint~

now it’s time to think about Summer,

Grab a Summer Sipper and let’s explore ideas for decorating

Once again a paint brush can help you decorate!

Memorial Day is the unofficial beginning of Summer in the USA,

so it’s time to get out the red, white and blue!

An Uncle Sam Hat Vase is a perfect way

to display pretty red & white blooms

Flag Glasses

Perhaps you have a pot that you don’t use/like anymore

and you’re thinking about giving it away…

Give it new life with your paint brush and a little bling!

I call this a Mermaid Pot because the painted swirls

around the bottom remind me of mermaid tails

Paint some Tropical Glasses for your Summer drinks

You can paint a pineapple, a hibiscus bloom,

and a watermelon slice with just a few strokes

Paint Placemats to match your Summer dishes

Use them in centerpieces and vignettes

Welcome guests by the front door

with a Summery Seahorse board with shells

Painted Flag Bottles can be hung with ornaments for a patriotic vignette

Inexpensive charger plates from the craft store

can be painted with firecrackers for the 4th of July

Seaside July

Upcycle a bottle with paint, sea glass and sand dollar shells

Sand Dollar Beachy Bottle

You can make all kinds of Seaside Tabletop Glassware

with shells, beads, sea glass and paint

Sand dollars make great stars on a board painted like a flag

Paint a platter or a bucket for your Summer Seafood Picnic

Painting Crabs

Shrimp Buckets are great for peel and eat shrimp peels

Here comes Summer!

    Fabulous round-up for summer! I love all things red, white, and blue! I am always amazed at what you do with a brush and paint! Happy Friday, Jenna!

    Another fun and informative post. That stemware is gorgeous! But my big take away from this post was your painting that plant pot. I have a large cobalt blue plant pot that goes with nothing on my deck. I love it, it’s a great size, but the blue has always bothered me. It never occurred to me to paint it. Thanks for that!
