Who needs a pool anyway when I could simply jump right into this amazing painting by my dear friend Maureen Chatfield!

Singing The Blues!
There are few reasons why I am singing the blues. First the King of blues himself BB King passed from us this past week, and my projects like all projects are taking longer than expected. My kitchen is at a stand still because I am next on the list for the painter but I am not sure where that "next" really means! The outdoor bar moving slowly due to weather and issues, so no opening the pool for Memorial day! On a positive note I do LOVE blue! Also, I am only joking! I am so lucky that these are the only little issues in my life at the moment. So, instead let's make this a tribute to the blues in the best of ways - RIp BB!

Walls and Fabric - It's All The Same!
I was so inspired by a wonderful Instagram image this AM that I just had to post it. I have always loved matching fabric to walls to furniture ever since I saw the wonderful room of Lee Radziwill! There is something so elegant and smart about a redundant play of pattern. I think I need to find a space in my home to incorporate this design idea. How about you matching or not? What's your thought?

Benched!
I am so excited as my dear friend's living room pieces get ordered! A lovely black lacquered upright piano was a must stay and it landed on the only long wall in the space. What to do to make it interesting? Well, it is now going to be flanked by two great benches. This provides plenty of extra seating in a room that is a bit on the narrow side. Above the benches will be large and in charge custom beach photographs. It was fun searching for benches, there are so many great ones out there!
They are so versatile for extra seating for mudrooms, living rooms, kitchens, dining rooms bedroom.. the sky is the limit. When in doubt add a bench!
