Decorating with the Season: Summer Houses

“The English rose greets the summer garden with a profusion of color and perfume and our doors and windows are thrown open to allow the season’s intoxicating atmosphere to envelop us and our home.”

Sydney A. Sykes

“Summer for me is simplicity and ease. To be able to move in and through my home without concern as the outdoors is the temple of beingness at this time of year.”
