WE ARE BOARDING an evening flight tonight to Ibiza, so all things seaside are in my thoughts at the moment, including this utterly charming and romantic cabin awash in shades of white and gold. Located on the Italian Riviera between Bordighera and San Rem, it was renovated by architects Emil Humbert and Christophe Poyet. Click through for a glimpse of seaside inspiration . . .
. . . and while we're on the topic of grasping every last beautiful moment of summer for as long as we can: worn wicker baskets and folds of languid lacy things, heart-shaped waffles and breezy morning dresses, peonies and starfish, and always, seaside dreams . . .
. . . bright and airy and positively flooded in light, clean lines with an ultra-modern fireplace and avant-garde sky-high bookshelves intermingling perfectly with chandeliers and antique chairs and best of all, on the côte d’azur / french riviera . . .
{two lovely things:} there is something about wicker that brings back memories of luxuriously beautiful summer afternoons — perhaps a reminder of picnic baskets and sunrooms overflowing with roses and sunlight . . .
