AT THIS MOMENT, Mark, our internet service provider engineer, is upstairs installing our new service, replacing Alexa and a year and a half of a very slow and spotty connection once and for all, we hope. We are meeting this new year head-on and have decided to be a little more proactive with things, and so far it seems to be working.

THIS WEEK’S INTERIORS INSPIRATION features a few favourites that have been piling up in folders over the past few weeks: rumpled bed linens bathed in sunlight and perfect late-summer tabletops, copper kitchens and dusky pink doors and bicycles strewn in flowers; bright kitchens and gilded headboards and all the things of décor daydreams . . .
