IF YOU ARE EVER searching for a way to change up a room quickly and with the most impact, try changing out the throw cushions. While we often use darker, warmer colours for the winter months, and lighter, airier ones for summertime, sometimes, in between seasons, changing up the cushion covers can change the look of a room dramatically, and with very little effort. Below, we've rounded up a few of our favourite ways to style throw cushions both at home and the office, from pairing elegant chintzes with seaside tones to black & white paired with pink velvet ...

THIS WEEKEND, we stopped by one of our favourite spots for a window seat in the sun, drinks and tuna tartare and patatas bravas — it was splendid to sit and watch the world go by while chatting about life and enjoying such delectable dishes (you simply must try this place if you’re ever in town).
IT WAS A DRINKS on terraces kind of weekend, for all the tall, tall lilac trees in our favourite neighbourhoods have become full and lush, leaving filtered sun rays and pretty dappled patterns on asphalt and car roofs and parked scooters awaiting trips to the market or the beach. We sat on wicker chairs and talked as places filled up at the tables nearby and waiters ambled along clearing empty glasses and crumpled napkins. We also stopped by a favourite café on Saturday for late-afternoon paella and talked about the breakneck passing of days into months and of making the most of this wild and wonderful life. This week’s links include 3 Greek Island Homes with Incredible Views; rhinestone shorts and espadrilles, a hotel in Brazil and much, much more …
WE HAVE BEEN eating walnut, brie and pear grilled cheese sandwiches all week with a side salad of arugula drizzled in a light dressing and more walnuts. It has been sunny everyday, so we spent the weekend on various sun-drenched terraces around the city, sipping on cava while watching the world go by: tourists in shorts, white sneakers and overloaded backpacks; beautiful old ladies in jackets and heels on the arms of their husbands, perhaps on the way to dinner reservations nearby; and fluffy dogs excitedly pulling on leashes past ornate fountains amongst the orange groves. This week’s links include a wine bar in the newly chic place of Kingston, NY; a lovely hotel in London; our brand new and wonderful Antiques & Collectibles selection at The Shop, and much, much more …
“I had originally gone to fine art school to study set design, but then dance took over. And now it’s fondant and cake. I am so pleased that the kitchen and I found each other. I’m where I was meant to be.” --Ron Ben-Israel
Annemieke Boots wasn’t always a ceramic artist. Her career began at an interiors boutique in Amsterdam, selling Asian furniture and accessories, and was also in charge of the marketing, sales, styling and maintaining contact with customers.

I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.
I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride;
so I love you because I know no other way
than this: where I does not exist, nor you,
so close that your hand on my chest is my hand,
so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep.
SUMMERTIME IS NEARLY HERE, which means long, loungy days spent in the hazy sunlight, dining en plein air, and doing just about everything outside.
