What a glorious, long, holiday weekend... and at long last, the un-official start to summer! I, for one, am so happy to have the longer days and humid nights... spaces bursting with vibrant sounds and delicious colors. A tactile season with a palette of melting sorbets, saturated blues, cool, icy whites... bits of warm, metallic shimmer & pops of grassy rattan. As always, I am loving the spectrum of corals, melons and honeysuckle paired with creamy whites and turquoise galore. It is endlessly fabulous, preppy or exotic, chic and always relevant without trying too hard. I could live forever in summer. It is relaxed and worn-in, fresh with a casual ease. Ah, yes, welcome back!

I am absolutely loving white right now... in moldings and casings and trim on walls, in upholstery (always) and rugs and draperies. I am loving the brilliant white of the Greek isles... especially mixed with blues, pinks and vibrant orange and the softer white of sandy shores. White looks fantastic with texture and pattern and pitch perfect with crisp, green fauna and tons of organic pottery. In my mind, nothing compares to how pure white can invigorate a space with simplicity, relaxed elegance and freshness. It is always just right, and I am so loving it!
