We've seen some beautiful outdoor spaces that have been entered as part of the CasaSugar Summer Style contest. Today, though, I have a great entry that shows a warm weather-friendly interior space.

For many of us, what comes to mind when we think of summery décor is beach themes — shells, nautical elements, fish — the kind of Summer style that's been done before a million times, and not well.

The CasaSugar Summer Style Contest entries continue to roll in, so I thought I'd share another inspiring entry with you. It's TeamSugar member Cocoangel's first Summer working at home, so she decided it was time to make her space "more like a place where [she] could think good thoughts." She painted her walls "this dreamy shade of blue, called Provence," and she says, "I just feel like I could dive in."

I wanted to show you another inspiring entry for the CasaSugar Summer Style Contest. TeamSugar member Rbid said that she wanted to share her beautiful backyard, but cheekily added, "Notice how it could use some Crate & Barrel outdoor furniture?"
I definitely advise you to check out the gallery, because Rbid's fountain is too cute — and believe it or not, she captured a robin bathing in it!
