Current Obsessions: Summer Lull
Hope you’re keeping cool and taking care this July weekend. Ahead, for your consideration: a new Brooklyn outpost with a great garden, a lightweight cotton duvet cover we love, and an escape in the Yucatán that makes us feel cooler just looking at it. Read on:
Above: The prettiest event space in LA? That would be Cueva by florist (and sometime Gardenista contributor) Sophia Moreno-Bunge and her family. See more in California-Latin Flavors (and Flair) in Venice Beach. Photograph courtesy of Sophia Moreno-Bunge.
- Wish we were here: a “contemporary habitable sculpture” in the Yucatán (with a particularly cool kitchen).
- Never have we been more inspired by a sinkside setup.
- We love design editor Michelle Adams’s Michigan garden….and this peek at the interiors, too.
- File under Unexpected but Great: thatched roofs made from seaweed.
- Pleats, please.
- “I can’t get enough of my yellow-striped duvet cover: pure summer,” writes Annie. “This one from Piglet in Bed is almost identical (and on it’s sale).”
- Ooh, a look inside a seaside Italian home where Cy Twombly spent time (note the curlicue-painted doorframes).
- Anyone else want to move into this houseboat in Seattle? (It’s currently on the market.)
- What a great idea!
- Farrow & Ball’s Brooklyn outpost now has a garden designed by our friends at Brook Landscape. (Hat tip: Laura.)
- Love HBO’s The Gilded Age? Love gardens? Indulge in both with the new book Gardens of the Gilded Age.
- Wow. Pamela Anderson’s garden is so good.
- Such a clever sustainable alternative to store-bought confetti.
- “In my mind, I am here this weekend,” says Fan.
