Palm Beach Interior design, blue exterior shutters

We are planning a trip to the south this summer, and one of the cities we are visiting is Palm Beach, Florida along with Savanna, and Charleston.  I can’t wait for those needed relaxing days to come.  After what feels like one of the longest winters and a stormy Spring, I’m ready for sand and sun.  This vacation home located in Palm Beach is not where we’ll be staying, unfortunately, but since I love Palm Beach architecture so much and more so homes that are layered with fine details and personality, here is a tour of this charming vacation home to inspire.

I love the beach and everything that has to do with Summer, however, I prefer laying by the pool most of the time.  If you also enjoy relaxing by the pool, these chic pool-attire pieces will provide you with the dose of style you need and will for sure effortlessly take you from the swimming pool side to the cocktail hours.  I’m especially loving the latest trends in swimsuits right now from one-shoulder to cut-outs and ruffle details; the new swimsuit has nothing to envy the bikini.

mediterrenean outdoor shower with ivy tree and grable foor

Now that it is practically summer here in the States; I can’t stop thinking about how convenient it would be to have an outdoor shower where to wash off the day under the burning sun or during sunset.  In our case, for example, having an outdoor shower would be not only a luxury but very convenient, for instance, our son, Lucas would frequently use it especially after coming back from many of his summer camps.

We can all consider bathing alfresco as one of the most natural things to do it connects us with nature; when design with luxury and function in mind, an outdoor shower can become the best of the treats.  Below, we rounded up 12 Open-Air Showers ideas that will make you feel you are in an eternal vacation.
