Some people are lucky, and others are ridiculously lucky.  Claude Wasserstein is among the latter, not only for having the freedom to hire three top designers such as Jacques Grange, Jeffrey Bilhuber and Daniel Romualdez but for having both of best worlds, an elegantly chic apartment, and an incredible garden, both in the City.  When I was finalizing reading the huge September issue of Vogue, notice using a pillow underneath to cushion my legs, I came across this refreshing breath of air from a rooftop apartment with an amazing outside garden complete with a table that seats up to ten people.  Exceptional!  The splash of yellow throughout the house is evident, and the layers of a colorful palette are uplifting and appropriate for every season.  It’s a long weekend, yippieee! And I’m planning to enjoy it with my family, locally and relaxed.  Have an excellent Labor Day Weekend everyone!

The weather is predicted to be more than fabulous this weekend here in New York City, hence these images for inspiration and a good dose of ideas for your garden decor.  I love this first image where the outdoor space is modern and classic at the same time.  The monochromatic palette of white, browns and green is right up my alley.

dining al fresco, entertaining outside

Although today is a very rainy day here in New York.  I couldn’t help but dream of the summer days ahead to come. I don’t have a big outside space like one of these outdoor spaces, but I have a deck and I’m determined to make it as cozy as possible.  Coming from the tropical I love outdoor eating and entertaining.  Enjoy!
