Love this little morsel of a loo by one of my favorites, Tom Scheerer. The wallpaper and hat collection lured my eyes closer.
Palma
A quick weekend in New York City bore fruit to some superb eateries, to include Palma in the West Village. Traditional Italian cuisine was paired with a lively garden terrace to include blooms of roses, casablanca lilies, herbs and the like. Candles flickered while the room danced with soft conversation. A C&C Approval, rightfully earned. Follow them along on Instagram: @palmanyc
'Wicker on the Nile'
Carlos Mota effortlessly captured a scene on the Nile River amidst his recent travels in Egypt. I just love wicker seating and the curvatures on these beauties are so fun. Be certain to order Carlos' new book A Touch of Style. Follow Carlos on Instagram: @casamota
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.
Noir
I love this black powder room by Miles Redd. It's bold, masculine, modern and moody, while the high ceilings and sconces add an understated elegance. I'm on a fern kick right now ever since my friend Betsy's wedding; I had never seen ferns presented so beautifully until I saw her bouquet and table arrangements. See more of Miles' portfolio, here.
