"A Mini-Break . . . "


Greetings,

There might be a few of you out there who DIDN'T have a crazy week - and if so, I kinda don't wanna hear about it . . . lol.  For the rest of you who, much like myself, seemed to be in a spinning, and somewhat unending, game of chase-the-to-do-list - I'm going to book each of us a little cyber-vacation for the next few moments . . .

Some time to lounge in the bed, reading the paper.  Enjoy a piping hot cup of coffee.  And maybe a shockingly unhealthy carbohydrate.  Remember, there are no calories on the internet . . .

So come.  Relax.  Enjoy.  Wander . . .

If you happen to be on the East coast - maybe 
a long walk along Coopers Beach in Southampton . . . 


And for those of us out here on the west 
coast . . . let's just use Carmel.  It's closer . . .

We could take a quick jaunt around town on a vintage bicycle.

And plan a little lunch - al fresco . . .

Or, if it's too warm, we could just have a quiet lunch inside . . .

Clearly, we'll need a place to curl up and 
read a book in the afternoon sun . . .

Clearly, there will be multiple venues for lounging . . .

And we'll need more food.  clearly.

See.  We've spent the entire day relaxing 
together . . . and it only took a few moments.

Breathe in.  Breathe out,
Scot

And a giant 'THANK YOU' to everyone who supported my One Kings Lane Tastemaker Tag sale this week - btw, there's still a few things left - so head over and make sure you didn't miss anything good.

"Indoor. Outdoor. Indoor . . . "

SMW Design, East Hampton Pool House
(in R. Lauren Patio Stripe Indoor/Outdoor fabric)
Greetings,

Been shopping this week - with a very particular focus on indoor/outdoor textiles.  And let me assure you, these aren't your mother's outdoor fabrics!  Gone forever are the stiff, board-y fabrics that felt more like a body scrub than a poolside chair.

So many of these versatile fabric would be perfect for any indoor use as well.  Personally, I've used them  to upholster sofas in the family room, and they can be the perfect answer for hard working dining chairs!

Here are a few favourites from last week's shopping:

Ralph Lauren "Patio Stripe" (available through Kravet)
Perennials "Hissy Fit"
Perennials "Row Stripe" (in Sea Grass)
Pierre Frey "Hossegor" (in navy)

(click on any of the "names" for more information.)

"The Grass is Always Greener . . . "


Greetings,

Sometimes design inspirations come from the simplest places.  It can be just as easy as opening your front door.  And then opening your eyes.

And behold . . . .

"Keep Calm and Free Associate . . . "

The couch of Sigmund Freud

Greetings,

Get comfortable on the little sofa.




Clear your mind.  




Just let it wander.  



And for heaven's sake . . . 
Stay calm.
