With the beginning of June upon us (and the fact that it’s been 90+ degrees for the past few days here in the Bay Area), summer is definitely in the air.

You don't need to spend much to make your home summer ready! We’ve made a list of awesome DIY projects for your home.

Follow along on our Sweet Summertime Pinterest board for more ideas:
What is the quintessential summer fruit? It's the tropical, tangy, and delicious pineapple! This DIY for pinecone pineapples is perfect to do with the kids or on your own to add a cute flair to your tabletops.
Spending too much time in the sun? Rub some aloe vera on that sunburn (and plant it in this adorable pineapple mason jar!)

She sells seashells by the sea shore, and we make them into candles. Put a few of these on the table during an outdoor potluck, and they'll bring a bit of the beach to your home (even if you're landlocked!)

Summer = nautical, and this anchor doormat definitely fits the bill. With a stencil and a bit of paint, you too can get this look!
