HOLIDAY WATER WORKS!

July 3, 2012
  • Share

Love the idea of spending the holiday by the water in some way shape or form. Tomorrow I’m popping by a little party so I’ll get a little time by the pool. The ocean, a pool, a lake, a pond, even sprinklers in a yard…wherever…a little splash in the water on a holiday goes a long way!

Last 4th of July, I ended up at a pool party on the a roof of a high rise building in downtown Los Angeles…it was actually kind of fun…palm trees, sunset, pool and all…see the last photo below! Water seems to be the draw on a holiday weekend…always.

How are you spending your holiday weekend…near the water? Where?  Are you designing a holiday gathering yourself…would love to hear how you are spending Independence Day!

Happy Tuesday!

    Wow! I would love to be in one of the beautiful swimming pools right now! My family will be attending the local parade and heading to a barbeque…. perhaps we can squeeze in some water time in-between! Have a great one.

    Hi Coco,

    Oh the roof top pool you were at last year looks like heaven! Those lounging chairs in the other photo are also amazing.

    Have a fun 4th!

    🙂

The kitchen island gets all the credit. The stools The kitchen island gets all the credit. The stools rarely get any.
Velvet, woven wood, molded modern, sculptural, cast brass — seven islands, seven completely different takes on where you actually sit down. Some rooms go quiet with it, some go bold. Both work.

An easy fall tablescape you can actually recreate.An easy fall tablescape you can actually recreate. 🍂
You don’t need a perfectly styled table or a dozen new pieces to make a fall gathering feel special. Start with what you already have and layer in a few simple details.
Think woven placemats + simple white plates + gingham napkins + fresh greenery. Add clear glassware and a simple centerpiece, and you have a table that feels warm, collected, and ready for dinner with friends.
The best part? Most of these elements can work beyond fall, too. Just switch out the napkin pattern or greenery and you have a completely different look.
Save this for your next fall gathering and use it as a starting point for your own table. 🤎
