Summer Home Style in the Kitchen
We’re in full blown summer over here! The days are long and needless to say it is HOT down here in Texas! But I’m bringing in some summer decor to cool things off and brighten things up in our Kitchen, so welcome to my Summer Home Style in the Kitchen!

I know so many of you have been waiting to see our full kitchen tour/reveal. We finally had our refrigerator door panels installed two weeks ago but the staining process still has to be completed. It took them a bit to get the stain just right to match the other white oak cabinets and shelves in the space so now we’re just waiting on the final coat of varnish to finish it off. Once that is complete I’ll be able to share a full kitchen reveal with you soon…I can’t wait!
In the mean time I have been looking for things to decorate our kitchen with. I have a lot of surfaces to cover and was so excited to partner with Walmart on this post to pull this off! I started with some beautiful two-tone stoneware bowls, a speckled vase that I’m so in love with and a salted coconut candle, that smells amazing! Oh and a great water hyacinth basket tray from Walmart by Better Homes & Gardens.
Everything fit right into my existing decor and gave me that summer vibe I was looking for in my kitchen. This speckled white vase has me swooning for sure! I also got this vase in another shape that you’ll see up on the shelf behind my island.
The stoneware bowls are beautiful too and have that speckled look as well! They are great for cereal so I just keep them out on the counter in my tray to use each morning. This also helps to create a beautiful focal point on my kitchen island.
Really, really love the water hyacinth basket tray as well to corral items and to add a pop of summer in here!
I also grabbed a couple of candles. I really love this salted coconut mahogany candle. It smells amazing and I love the simplicity of the lidded jar.
On our white oak shelves behind my island I added a few more Walmart Home pieces. I needed some wine glasses – so glad to see I could get these simple, modern glasses at Walmart. Honestly I can get anything for my home at Walmart these days, and I love that!
I also found this scalloped gray planter just by popping into my local store so that I could add a pop of summer color with greenery to my open shelves. Isn’t it darling?! And I picked up the asparagus fern in my Walmart Garden Center as well.
As mentioned before I also ordered this speckled white bubble vase on line. Everything I ordered on line either arrived here within a few days, or was delivered to my door the next day. I love that Walmart has options for shipping, delivery or pickup and no minimum order is required (restrictions apply). This vase is just like the other one (same material) but just a different shape.
I’ll share it more styled in a different way in a moment!
I was so excited to find the one speckled vase that I got two of them, ha! I’ve styled it here a couple of different ways – one way on my kitchen island with some faux stems and another way with some gorgeous privet stems I foraged from our beautiful forest outside.
I love the trendy, modern feel of the speckles and it feels like such a classic piece to me – love this vase!
I love foraging from our forest outside and when I saw these gorgeous privet branches I immediately snagged them for my vase. This vase makes a gorgeous centerpiece and I love that it’s so versatile!
Shopping on line with Walmart is easy and so is popping into the store to browse for fun, trendy home items. They’re making it easy with their new Wow & Now section in (select) stores and online!

Love the kitchen, you have such good taste. I plan on going to my Wal-Mart some of the things are still in stock. Thank so much for sharing your wonderful ideas. Reading your post was a great way to spend my afternoon. I just love it!
Hi Kathleen, thank you so much! I’m so glad you enjoyed it and I hope you found something you love at Walmart!! Xo
I can’t seem to find the name of your countertops. Love your home and you! Do you have a link for your favorite countertops for maple cabinets with a clear coat? Calcutta gold? Etc.
I’d love a recommendation for an outdoor sectional too! Thank you!!
Hi Kathy, my countertops are by Color Quartz and are Calacotta Novus. I’m so sorry I don’t have a link to them as they were fabricated through a local company (but shipped in from somewhere out of the country I believe) and purchased through our builder. I don’t have any information on maple cabinets but mine are white oak with a clear stain with a bit of white paint mixed in. As far as an outdoor sectional goes please look at my highlights on Instagram (@zdesignathome) where I have a highlight with all of my outdoor items from this year. Thank you for stopping by!
