Staycation
Enjoy your deck, garden and home with settings of charming dinnerware and objects d’art that capture the serenity, designs and beauty of the world!!
Many patterns have been inspired by the art and architecture of the country. Vietri’s Italian Santorini and Juliska’s Bamboo Collections honor entire cultures and are wonderfully - mix and match!
Enhance each tablescape or table setting with little treasures you have picked up on your travels…no matter how small!
They may be beach glass from a Monterey excursion, little tiles from Mexico or Portugal, linens or textiles that speak to you from the South of France, Florence or Turkey!! Everyone collects something special ~ something that touches spirit, heart or memory to make us smile.
Tout la monde enjoys beautiful blue and white color schemes ~ so classically natural, tranquil, uplifting and charmingly reminiscent of sea and sky!! Any color can be an accent!
