Musings
bring on the splendor
I am beyond ready to usher in summer in all its glory. We are slowly getting our little house assembled (truly, at a snail’s pace), but the images below help keep me focused and energized especially as we work to furnish our petite porch. These designers are truly some of the greatest masters — I’ve had these images “pinned” for quite some time and continue to reference them. The mix of materials — wicker, iron, weathered wood, concrete, blue stone — and pattern through details like trelliage, exude an understated sense of comfort and timelessness while graciously beckoning the outdoors. And, there is something so nurturing and peaceful about being surrounded by green growing things!
Here’s to that first batch of iced tea on the porch…

Hoppy Easter!
Wishing you all a Happy Easter Weekend this Good Friday.
This holiday in particular feels a little different now that we have a little one — the visions of him hopping around (well, not quite) in his Easter finery with neighbors and family makes my heart happy. We’ve been reading “Peep, Peep, I Love You!” all week in anticipation, and I’ve officially handed down my Easter Basket to him that I’ve chalked full of books, soft animals and Rebecca Gardner’s Easter Grass.
I discovered Edelweiss Chocolates this year for my little touches around the home and loved their Speckled Easter Chocolate Malt Balls (so gorgeous!) and Caramel Robins Eggs. It’s the little things!
Get the Gusto
It seems like everyone is in Palm Beach at the moment, or perhaps I’m lusting for some sunshine and my radar is especially sharp. Aesthetes are flocking to Casa Gusto for all things divine and delightful whilst I devour every visual bit on Instagram. If you don’t have them on your digital speed dial, hop on it, stat. Follow along, @getthegusto

lustful luggage stands
There are luggage stands, and then fabric-covered luggage stands by Sibyl Colefax & John Fowler. These stopped me in my tracks. Have a look here.
