Happy summer … or almost summer for some of you!  My kids started their summer break last week {earlier this year than normal} and I’m loving it.  The break in routine and the fun family time is such a welcome change from the hustle and bustle of the school year.  I’m looking forward to working on projects this summer, some that have been on the to-do list for way too long, and sharing some inspiring travel posts with you as well.  But first, let’s take a look back at the top five Dukes and Duchesses posts in May.  These are the posts that you all viewed, shared, and pinned the most … so thank you!  For full details on any of the ideas below, click on the links to take you to the full blog posts.

In May, I upcycled cheap and colorful plastic tablecloths to make a festive ombre party backdrop for a photo booth or food table {pin it now} …
