I’d been eyeing up some silvery Summery decor objects in stores and on TV earlier this Spring, like shells and starfish and stuff, but I didn’t pick any up because I wasn’t quite in the Summer frame of mind yet at that point.Once I was ready to start adding some decor into my new grey living room though, I went looking for some of those silver Summery things and they were nowhere to be found!
