the spirit of the summer…all year long
Summer may officially be over now that school is in session but we’ve got a ways to go around these parts until it starts to feel anything like fall. Summer is my favorite time of the year and I love to bring the feel of the beach inside my home all year round, regardless of…

Blue and white will always be my favorite color combination but I’ve got to say, I’m crushing hard on green lately! Mixed in with a little rattan, bamboo and linen, it’s another perfect combination for summer! I always love the fresh pop of color that a new house plant brings; it just makes a room…
