A great way to kick off the summer is with what I call, a summer glow.  We often tend to think of candles as a winter and fall decor item, but candles are great in the summer too as they help transition from long afternoon sunshine to the soft color of summer dusk. To pull this off, you’ll need to invest in some new candles of various shapes, sizes and scents.

One of my new favorite types of candles are Kringle Candles.  These candles last longer and the scents they have are unmatched.  A great way to add a variety of candles without making your house look like a box of crayons exploded, is to get candles in a monochromatic scheme.  Meaning, select a shade of color and then pick several candles in that color with varying degrees from light to dark.  This ensures you are adding color without going overboard.
