natural wonders
It’s 95 degrees outside with humidity hovering right around 90% and yet, every retailer I see is jamming their shop full of Halloween, Thanksgiving and even Christmas decor – what. the. heck. Every year, it seems to start earlier and earlier (and yet I don’t recall anyone selling summer goodies in February when we could really use the cheering up!) We’ve still got a ways to go down here in the south until we get a reprieve from the heat and some of my favorite things – wicker, rattan, bamboo, seagrass and brass – are what I’m feeling as we hold on to the last few weeks/months of summer. From a giant clam bowl and my favorite bamboo flatware (both of which are on sale!!) to the most amazing smelling candle and a jute rug that has had me all heart eyes, everything on my list is not only beautiful but adds great texture and interest!

Hello and welcome to Bungalow Blue Interiors!
I'm Kelly, interior designer, stylist, hostess with the mostest and editor of my blog, where I share pics of my work, my own home, décor projects, entertaining hacks, where to find the best decorating deals and all the beautiful things that are currently inspiring me!
Love your blog – what has been your experience with durability with the faux bamboo flatware – I love the look but fearful they will get plastick-y, chipped/faded over time? Curious – thanks!
Anne – So far, so good! I've used them almost every day, we've eaten with them outside and they have held up well, knock on wood! I don't put mine in the dishwasher, even though it says you can, but just to be on the safe side, I hand wash them. I know it's a pain for some, but I'm hoping it will help make them last longer. And if they don't, I won't sweat it because I got them on super sale for $25 for five place settings! I definitely recommend them, though! xx Kelly
