Humans could be very complex, you know? We long for summer hot days only when our bodies are freezing during the cold days and once they arrive, all we wish is to stay inside under the divine, most needed A.C. Who can really marry our eternal love for summer with our little tolerance for hot and humid days? Last night we had to sleep without A.C because our little one was not feeling well, needless to say we did not have a decent sleep. So, I was thinking how wonderful it would be to get to spend the summer days inside an Orangery like this one where you get to see and feel like/the outside while enjoying the coolness inside. The owners of this heavenly looking orangery are Fawaz Gruosi and Caroline Gruosi-Scheufele and when I first saw it in this current issue of Elle Decor, the first thought that came to my mind was that it looks like it came out of a pure love story. It’s romantically classy. The owners hung framed dry leaves on the walls and the ceiling is frescoed to make it look like ivy. The birdcages hanging from the ceiling add that final touch of romance. Sigh
Adirondack chairs are quintessentially American and although I believe they are not that good looking they could be cute comfortable. The traditional ones could be a bit rustic but then again, they’re cooomfortable…. and with the new designs now available everyone who is up for comfort can enjoy one without sacrificing style. Below is a list of more modern Adirondack chairs. Enjoy

These colorful Cedar fish-shaped Adirondacks with ottoman are kind of fun.

It’s been very March lately so I’m looking forward to enjoying the outside and, as I said before, nothing else inspires me more than Nature. These outdoor living areas are my own way of calling for April showers to bring more flowers. Enjoy

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.
