Summer Reeding

Cheap and Chic
July 31, 2014

I have always loved this vacation home in the Cyclades that was featured in Marie Claire Maison a few years ago, but I don’t believe I have ever shared more than this photo above. I love the combination of modern and rustic in this island home, and one amazing DIY idea in particular … How great does this peeled reed fencing look on the wall of this room? It adds a wonderful layer of architectural detail, acting as a peeled reed wainscoting! What a great idea. The best part? You can do this yourself. Available at Lowe’s in 16ft sheets for the bargain price of $35, you too can emulate this chic look in your own home.

Hey Lacquered Lifers! Today I’m doing a guest blog post at 702parkproject.com all about the before and after on our restoration on Church Street. Since Sarah and her husband are working on renovating their historic home, I thought it was only fitting that I share some of my experience with renovating an historic house. So head on over to 702parkproject.com and check it out!

Want to go on an amazing picnic with me this weekend? Let’s use this wonderful Seletti Picnic Table available through Jardin Chic. We can set up the table in some absolutely beautiful location; eat, drink, and be merry; and when we’re finished we simply fold the table right back up into this little chic gingham suitcase. Any takers? Have a wonderful weekend!
