'An Elegant Wilderness'

Craving an escape to the mountains and just love the title of this book at my bedside that profiles some of the most intricate yet hidden camps of the Adirondacks. An "Elegant Wilderness," indeed.

Going Gingham

I'm giddy for summer and just as anxious to receive this little number from Solid & Striped. I'm on a gingham kick.

Pause

The sunshine made its debut for Mother's Day just as the day began to draw to a close. It immediately beckoned me outdoors where I paused to remember how lovely the light is at the end of the day. Hedges were trimmed in our neighborhood this weekend, grass was mowed, and dare I say, the mooring field is looking slightly more occupied. I am anxiously awaiting the summer to arrive. Upon my outdoor exploration, I was reminded of how much I adore this darling historic home (captured above) down the street from us. She also happens to be on the market and would make an excellent summer escape. See the listing, here.

'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
