Nice ideas, thanks. I am pro rain boots! I also recently just bought a cute, lightweight raincoat (just looks like a regular jacket). The rain no longer holds me back!

I’m a sucker for tote baskets. Thanks for the inspiration and excuse to go get more. 🙂

I absolutely love that bright turquoise door. Beautiful! I love the door mat too. I’m still in an apartment so I can’t paint the door, but a girl can dream. The door mat is so fun. I may have to bookmark it.
If you can’t paint the door I would absolutely get a cute seasonal rug to add your personality!
I love the idea of the boots! What a fun addition to an entryway!
Love this! Bright fun summer doors are my favorite accessory… And a fun door knocker would be killer! I never wear rain boots but maybe if I had a pair as great as yours I would!
What a cute mat! Bright colored doors are always so welcoming too!
I’ve always wanted a bright colored door like that! So adorable! Also, LOVE Hunter boots!
