10 Summer Vacation Essentials

July 5, 2017
  • Share

I am in Paris right now and this evening I leave for Greece.  So far, my summer vacation has been wonderful.  I got to Paris on Friday to visit my sweet mother at her beautiful summer apartment in the 6th arrondissement on Rue Condé.  Best of friend AT came via the Chunnel to spend time with me here.  Then on Sunday, I took a whirlwind day visit to London with AT. I got to see where she lives with her boyfriend HH and we also were on a top secret mission doing some market research!  Came back to Paris for a few more days of lounging…and then off to Greece to meet sis DS and her guy in Athens then Santorini!

All this to say…I have dreams of being a light packer.  And that is what this post is about.  I, however, in all honesty, did not pack lightly!  I wish I had.  I am now bogged down with a huge bag but I am just wearing the same 10 things over and over again.   In order to help you avoid my packing mistakes, we pulled together 10 summer vacation essentials to help you for your holiday travel!

Summer is when this courtyard really comes alive.Summer is when this courtyard really comes alive. 🌸 One thing I’ve learned is that every outdoor space needs a focal point. It gives your eye a place to land and makes the whole space feel more intentional. In this courtyard, the bougainvillea naturally becomes that focal point, adding color, height, and movement without overwhelming the space. If you’re designing your own patio or garden, start with one standout feature, then let everything else support it. Save this tip for your next outdoor project. ✨ #homedecor #outdoorlivingspace #patiodecor #patioinspo #cococozy
Design by @covetnoir. A 1750 Georgian home in Surr Design by @covetnoir. A 1750 Georgian home in Surrey, restored back to its former grandeur. Grade II listed and stripped of most of its original character by previous owners, this 9,000 sqft home with seven bedrooms, and five bathrooms was brought back to life for a French-Swedish couple raising two young kids here. The brief: Parisian luxe with a Scandinavian twist, and a design calm enough to keep the grand proportions feeling intimate. Covet Noir rebuilt what had been lost: full plasterwork, raised & fielded panels, a bespoke decorative ceiling, and added a cantilevered limestone staircase with Nero Marquina cabochon inlay in the entrance hall. The material palette leans into marble and alabaster, softened with boucle and brushed cottons, chosen to hold up to two kids and two dogs without losing the elegance. Antique furniture and architectural fittings were sourced throughout to keep the project sustainable, alongside ground source heating. Grand bones, calm hand. This is the kind of restoration we could look at all day. 🤍 📍 Surrey 🏡 Design: @covetnoir 📸 @taranwilkhu

Before you start moving furniture, ask yourself thBefore you start moving furniture, ask yourself these three questions: Does this improve the room’s function? Does it create a better focal point? Does it make the space easier to walk through? If the answer is “no” to all three, maybe it’s just the rearranging itch talking. 😅 Save this for the next time you’re tempted to move every piece of furniture in your house.
This is the house that stopped us mid-scroll and k This is the house that stopped us mid-scroll and kept us there. A 90s home in Amman, Jordan, entirely remodelled by local artisans. Neo-Florentine bones, Levant-eclectic sensibility, arched passageways, and a flea-market-meets-commissioned-art collection that makes every wall feel intentional. What makes it work: restraint where you’d expect excess, and boldness where you’d expect safety. This is what happens when a home is built by people who actually know the place. 🖤 Save this, it’s a masterclass in culturally rooted design.
