From Spring To Summer At Boxwood

As we look past Memorial Day Weekend, and unofficially welcome the start of summer, our team at Boxwood has been hard at work transforming the store from soft spring pastels to vibrant summer hues. To bring our shelves to life with inspiration for your tablescapes, bookshelves, and gift guides, we enlisted the incredible talent of Mickey Sauls from ShopMD, our beloved designer and merchandiser. Mickey has an extraordinary eye for design, and we consider ourselves incredibly fortunate to have her as part of the Boxwood family. With her expertise, each product in our store receives its own spotlight, further strengthening our cherished Boxwood brand. 

As we bid farewell to the gentle pinks of spring, we warmly welcome the summer blues into our store. Our shelves now feature palm leaves, birds of paradise stems and leaves, and flamingos, embodying the essence of the summer season. We've introduced summer-themed items such as citrus-inspired decor, patriotic pieces, and nautical accents like throw blankets, placemats, and platters. These additions are perfect for creating a welcoming ambiance for family gatherings, backyard pool parties, and BBQ nights with friends. 

No summer home decor would be complete without adding some fun and festive touches. Imagine the delight of your guests as they gather around a table decorated with vibrant watermelon placemats and napkins to welcome the summer aesthetic. By incorporating a few seasonal and themed pieces, our year-round decor takes on a whole new role. Suddenly, those red vases from Valentine's Day and Christmas find a patriotic purpose in July when paired with blues and whites, creating a striking display. 

When you visit our store, you'll discover a selection of our all-time favorite year-round products, still available for you to pick up as hostess gifts or to enhance your table decor. From the elegant Vietri vases to the exquisite Lawrence McRae ceramics, and the versatile acrylic trays to the ever-popular Zafferano cordless lamps, these timeless pieces are always in season. With each passing season, we find new and creative ways to style these items so that you can continue to enjoy their beauty and functionality throughout the year. 

Now that we've completed our seasonal transition, the entire Boxwood team is filled with happiness and excitement as we introduce you to our new summer favorites. We hope these additions will inspire you to infuse your own space with the refreshing spirit of the season. Visit us at Boxwood and let the beauty of summer transform your home!
