Give me beautiful summer whites, neutrals, and some gorgeous colorful hues for that added pop of color. Mix in some prints, patterns, texture and even a tribal like vibe and once more I feel like I'm back in the Mediterranean. @JCPenney new "Distant Lands" bedding collection gives me all of the good travel vibes and I'm so here for it!! The Valencia Comforter Set is my personal favorite within the entire distant lands collection. I love that it's neutral, bright and airy and that it can easily be paired with existing pieces within my home. What I love even more is the fact that it's the perfect summertime refresh for my bedroom that didn't break the bank. Now, this is indeed a travel expense I'm happy to sign up for. Get yours today.

“Every season represents a time for something new and different, or the usher of change. Summertime tends to excite us all about the change of scenery in our lives with all of the traveling we’ll do. Travel has a powerful tendency to broaden, enlighten, and influence our minds and perspectives by exposing us to so many new things, landscapes and overall experiences. What’s even more powerful about travel is that it touches our lives in a way that we can bring those experiences and visuals right into our homes…even if it’s a distant land that we have yet to visit, but a desire to some day. We can always bring that place a little closer to us simply by the way we style our homes. My forever favorite place to travel in the world is anywhere in the Mediterranean, as I’m inspired by all that I see there, whether its Greece, Italy, Croatia, or Africa. After having just spent some recent time in the Mediterranean...The new “Distant Lands” JCPenney bedding collection is the perfect Summertime refresh to keep my love for the Mediterranean and my love for travel right here within my home.”

Before the sun sets on the season of Summer... I'm excited to now finally release and share with you all the debut of my 2020 Summer Home Video. In my Summer Home Tour from behind the camera lens, I'm sharing all of the beautiful decorative details, textures, colors, prints and patterns I've staged and styled in my home (in the main living area, my most popular room) during this quarantine season. Most of what you'll see in the video was shared in photo stills from my Summer blogpost released early last month. In the event that you missed it, click the link below... https://www.alluredbydesign.com/post/summer-styling-with-ginger-jars In addition to all of the beautiful photo stills, I wanted to present and produce for you all an accompanying video to further tell and share my design story. Of course, all with the intent to inspire. While it's said that a picture is worth a thousand words...a moving video tends to bring one even closer to the action. And, indeed, this is the closest way I can invite you all into my home, House Piazza.
 I hope you all enjoy and I hope you all are both allured and inspired.

During the warmer seasons of both Spring and Summer, I love to give my home a quick refresh or an updated look. A refresh to one's home doesn't necessarily have to break the bank. It can be as simple as adding either fresh or faux florals to your home, changing up your design vignettes with a new vase or two, updating your coffee table styling with seasonal accents, putting out new candles and of course updating your toss pillows always freshens up the look of any space. In my latest video, which I'm so excited to finally share with you all...I do all of the above to give my home, which you all know as #HousePiazza that Summertime refreshing feeling. And, I do all of this without breaking the bank. Some items in this video are sponsored by V Home & Interiors, while others are accents I used simply by shopping my own home. With that being said, PRESS PLAY & ENJOY! I Do Not Own The Rights To This Music.
