A Little Unexpected Summer Decor Refresh

I didn’t have any real intentions of switching over spring decor to summer.

It started with the porch, that I really had been wanting to paint. I finally got motivated to do it (a difficult feat with 5-year-old twin boys home during quarantine), so all of my spring porch decor was taken down, while I went to work. Instead of putting it all back, I decided to go with a new decor set up for a summer porch.

Well, that got me inspired and I wanted to carry that same clean, modern farmhouse theme inside the house as well. I had a lot of ideas, not a lot of money to spend, and as always, along with my other go-to ideas for a cheap decorating, I went to work creating printables. I did look online and on Pinterest first, to see if there were any that I liked, but to be honest, they were all a little too cutesy or too country for my taste. I wanted a little more simple, modern farmhouse look.

So, I set to work creating my own.

Watercolor Free Printables for Summer (Wall Art in Farmhouse Style)

I went back and forth with my “team” (my sister and 2 friends I impose upon, lol), and after a  little consulting (i.e. texting), here’s what I landed on.

I didn’t want to do all fruit, and I didn’t think I needed to because most people won’t display all 4 together. Maybe 3, like I did for my tier tray.

Also, even though the palm leaf isn’t fruit, it’s still tropical, which goes along with the theme. I decided to put the palm leaf with the ‘dictionary summer’ sign because I figured that one might be displayed on its own.

And, honestly, I have some palm decor in my house, so I really wanted a print that would work with my own decor. So, I was a little biased on that one.

You might also notice in the picture above that there’s a framed palm leaf with a quote on it (top right cube). It’s the same quote that’s on the pineapple sign, and as I said, since I have the palm leaf decor going on, I wanted a sign that would coordinate with that.

So, I took the line of poetry from the pineapple sign, “In summer, the song sings itself” from William Carlos Williams”(I’m a former high school English teacher, so anywhere I can sneak in some poetry, I’m good for it), and designed this bonus one with purely selfish motives. 

PS – I was contemplating buying a framed palm leaf picture at Five Below, but I’m glad I waited and just made my own.

All in all, I think they are the perfect summer touches without being over the top or too cliche.

What You’ll Get Free Printable Bundle

When you download these prints, you’ll get these 4 designs in 3×3″, which can fit in small tier tray frames (which are just Hobby Lobby Easter signs that I stick the printables in, as seen in my picture).

You’ll also get on that prints on for an 8″x8″ square (which I have displayed) or it will also work in an 8″x10″.  They are delivered in a PDF where you can print out the ones you want or all of them.

The palm leaf with the poetry quote is a bonus print that’s included, but just in the bigger size, not the tier tray size.

Your best bet is to print them out on cardstock and use a paper cutter to trim them down. A scissor can also be used as well.
