This kitchen belongs in a doll house. Or in a Wes Anderson film. From the sage green cabinets, to the lovely fabrics, plates and baskets, the attention to detail is perfect. I can’t imagine much more than a maritozzi and a caffè being consumed here, but hey, if you’re in vacanza who needs to cook?
I love how this fireplace looks like sails of a boat. I love how crisp and sculptural the lines feel against the softness of the furnishings. Regular readers know how I feel about mustard, and this particular shade of Dijon is my very favourite. The photograph was taken by Stephan Julliard. If you’re into wild and maximalist interiors you may want to have a peruse of his portfolio.

Sophie Lou Jacobsen’s glass pitchers bring just the right amount of playfulness to the table. Her colour combinations –– pale pink and amber, teal and lilac –– are great, and the snake like handle adds pure whimsy. Beyond manners, which I think are serious business, a table should be light, fun and irreverent. Jacobsen’s designs are all three is droves.
Is it rattan, cane, wicker? No matter, I love this chair. It’s a Southern version of a throne. This wallpaper, designed by Lulie Wallace (great name) is lovely, too. The whole aesthetic is what a Southern belle might describe as “darling.” Too darling for some, perhaps, but not for me.
