PORCH PERFECT!

Nothing like a porch in the summer time. I’ve always wanted a perfect porch…a porch that is simply decorated with comfortable seating, lots of shade and a great view….that’s it…the perfect recipe for porch living.

Friend Charlotte Broussard inspired this post when she sent in the above photo of her family’s Michigan summer home porch. This wonderful outdoor resting place belongs to a classic Victorian home near a lake. Even Annabelle the dog knows it’s a pretty perfect place to lounge!

I was so inspired by Charlotte that I took a few photos of other porches I liked while in Nantucket. Some ideas perhaps for your own porch?

    The porch is open, bright and cheerful. It is exactly the set up that a water front house needs.

A masterclass in contemporary wedding event designA masterclass in contemporary wedding event design, every detail feels intentional, layered, and deeply personal.
Designed by @bychenai, a prolific and talented London based wedding and events planner, this wedding is a study in thoughtful design and artful creative direction. We say well done Chenai!
Long tables arranged in a maze-like formation created a striking design, while still allowing 350 guests to move throughout the space. A rich brown and gold palette brought warmth and depth, paired with refined tabletops and lush floral centerpieces.
Location: An ornate and iconic room. Painted Hall at Old Royal Naval College in Greenwich England @orncweddings.
