WEEKEND PHOTO: DESIGNING A PERFECT PORCH PARTY!

September 3, 2010
  • Share

Outdoor patio with vibrant orange tufted cushion on a teak bench, with a bright green table cloth and accents

Love this cheerful outdoor dinner party setting. The vibrant orange tufted cushion on the teak bench and the bright green table cloth and accents make this porch quite pretty for a summer evening dinner party.

Hmmm…has got me thinking…might have to throw another last minute gathering this weekend on my deck…

What are your plans for the long weekend? Planning any fun parties?

Hope you have a great Labor Day Weekend!

    I was thinking the same thing…I might have to have an end-of-season BBQ. But first, my goal is to finish painting my credenza.

    Have a great holiday.

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.

Panic mode activated!
If you only have 10 minutes, focus on these three things:
1. Make the bed. It instantly makes the whole room look cleaner.
2. Fold or straighten the throw blanket and pillows.
3. Clear visible clutter from nightstands and the floor.
That’s it. Those three steps make the biggest visual impact without deep cleaning.
Save this for the next time you need a fast bedroom reset. 🔖

Black is not a bold choice. It’s a neutral, and one of the most versatile ones in design.
The rooms that get it right treat black the same way others treat white or greige: as a foundation that lets everything else breathe. The texture of the wall. The warmth of the wood. The drama of the marble. Black doesn’t compete, it amplifies.
Save this the next time someone talks you out of going dark. 🖤

Life when I’m offline. 🎣 On this trip to Park CitLife when I’m offline. 🎣
On this trip to Park City, UT, I was way off line with a little fly fishing. No emails. No DMs. No feed. Just a rod, a beautiful river, and however long it takes to catch something.
Running two brands means my brain rarely stops so when it does, it really does.
No fish were harmed. All fish were returned into the river.
What do you do when you log off? Comment and let's give each other some ideas!😀
