Organic Style, my favorite online destination for eco-friendly flower bouquets, just alerted me that its source for pink oriental lilies is now certified organic.

Want to know which lucky lady is the second of two winners in my Summer Style Contest? Then read more.

The second winner in the Summer Style Contest is Haze, who launched a major overhaul of her garden and patio in her 1930s Cape Cod-style home in May. In what she calls the "patio reclamation" and "garden refreshment," her husband was "responsible for acquiring the eclectic mix of midcentury pieces that are featured in the space," and she took it upon herself to "refurbish, reclaim, reuse, and repurpose many of these items in order to create a warm and welcoming space with a unique personality." After installing seven pieces of her original modern, surrealist pop artwork, the space took on a gallery feel. The image above shows the lattice she installed along the length of her neighbor's "privacy fence," as well as her refreshed vintage lawn chairs in the garden.

Haze wins a $500 Crate and Barrel gift card for her entry. Congratulations!

Want to know which lucky lady is the first of two winners in my Summer Style contest? Then read more.

The first winner in the Summer Style Contest is Visual Vamp. I loved that Visual Vamp pulled together a beautiful, easy, and budget-friendly Summer look that other Casa readers can take inspiration from. She gave great Summer decorating advice, too, saying, "I live in New Orleans, and part of Summer style here is to take up all the rugs and live with bare floors, and cover the furniture in Summer white slipcovers. It's a fast and easy way to get an instant Summer look."

Fast, easy, stylish, and economical. What's not to love? Visual Vamp wins a $500 Crate and Barrel gift card for her entry. Congratulations!

Check back tomorrow for our second contest winner!

Where's Your Summer Style?

CasaSugar — Wed, 30 Jul 2008 15:18:23 -0700

It seems as if a few readers are confused as to what they need to do to enter my Summer Style Contest. Since I know you'd all love to win one of the two $500 Crate and Barrel gift certificates I'm giving away, I thought I'd remind you that you need to send in photos of your home's Summer style to qualify to win. You only need to send in one photo, and it can be sent to my TeamSugar inbox, or to the Su Casa group. And you only need one photo to enter!

For instance, here's a photo that would work as an entry. This photo is from the fantastic bridal shower that my sister threw for me this past weekend. She pimped out my backyard with cute tables, brightly striped throw rugs, and cool retro wooden chairs.

If you have some serious Summer style, send me photos of your garden, back yard, beach house, bedroom, patio, or deck - the possibilities are endless! Just show me photos that illustrate your pad's Summer style, along with a few words about what defines your personal Summer style. Feel free to mention projects that are represented in the photos, as well as sources for home furniture items and accessories, or ways that you've "summerized" your home or outdoor space.
