Musings
Ship Shape
Love these sweet little beds in a guest room by Amanda Lindroth. Makes me think of summer sleeps on Nantucket and elsewhere....I'm also on the hunt for upholstered X benches...
Sarah Bartholomew
At long last, Sarah Bartholomew's new site is live, and her portfolio is stunning (no surprise there, of course, as the southern designer has one of the best eyes out there). This living room at a Belle Meade Georgian home is one of my favorite spaces. The use of pattern and texture is brilliant - classic but modern. Follow along: @sarahbartholomewdesign
Newport Lamp & Shade
A slightly hidden hideaway among the cobblestones of Franklin Street is Newport Lamp & Shade Company. Their name is perhaps a rather apparent nod to their expert lamp repair service in their workshop - a space flooded with lampshades of all fashions that will surely make you swoon. The remaining square footage is a sea of carefully curated gifts and home goods - from an antique sign (I immediately had my eyes fixated on the "Punch" sign hanging from the doorway only to learn that it had sadly sold), to dish ware that would make a splash at any outdoor summer soirée.

Sherbet
Love Tom Samet's capture of this living room upon a stay in Florida. The sherbet hues are enviable and elegant, lending to a cocktail ready room. Makes me want to meet the individual responsible for creating such a splashy space.
