Yesterday was the first day of summer 2011, but if you're in Fargo, you might never have guessed. Since the beginning of spring, we have really only had a few warm, sunny days -- and the summer started out with a large dose of rain. It still hasn't stopped raining.
But summer will be here. Eventually. Even though it doesn't seem very summer-like (to me) right now, you might be itching to give your house a fresh, summery feel. Let's start out with some color palettes.

In color psychology, "cool" colors -- blue, green -- can make a room feel much cooler. Learn more about using cool colors in your home.
In the summer, less is more when it comes to accessorizing. A clean, open space gives your home a fresh, summery feel. So, what kind of accessories should you use, then? Find out here.
Each person might be looking for something different: new paint color ideas, simple accessorizing ideas...or even as much as a kitchen or whole-house remodel. But if you are just looking for some quick and easy ways to decorate for summer, try making smaller changes with new paint colors and accessories.
