The Watermelon Edit
/I was searching my Pinterest for a watermelon recipe I remembered saving last summer, and I was so inspired by all of the hot pink hues that graced the results.
Watermelon is not just for eating…although it is lovely for that! From cocktails to mocktails to frozen treats, watermelon is the quintessential summer fruit. But the hot pink hue is also perfect for a jolt of summer in your decor.
A. This Watermelon Cherry Tequila Bomb via Heather Cristo looks stunning, and the combo of watermelon and tequila is very intriguing. This would be perfect for a hot summer night!
B. My kids would love this Watermelon Limeade via Bon Appetit, and let’s be real, I would too. This is on my list to make this weekend.
C. These might not have watermelon in them, but they are the perfect shade of pink! Cherries are another summer favorite, so a batch of these Tart Cherry Limeade Popsicles via Paper & Stitch should definitely make an appearance for cooling off on a hot summer evening.
D. This Greek Couscous Salad with Watermelon and Feta via Katie at the Kitchen Door was super tasty! We all loved it! It was light and refreshing but also a really wonderful blend of flavors. It will make another appearance on our menu soon for sure.
E. Don’t have watermelon on the menu? No problem! Just add these Watermelon Seed Napkins. Originally via Caroline Z Hurley, these would be a really fun DIY.
F. I love, love, love the saturated pink of this duvet. If you want to bring summer vibes to your bedroom, use this Hot Pink Bedding via Remodelista as your inspiration!
G. And the creme de la creme of watermelon inspired hues, this sitting room cannot be beat! I love the saturated hues of the walls and the coordinating chair. It’s also a really fun mix of vintage and modern. Image via Lonny.
And for good measure, here is the Golden Flower Goods’ Guide to Picking a Watermelon. I’m working on perfecting when to harvest a watermelon from my garden, and I will make sure to share what I find.
