Is it just us, or is summer starting to feel a little closer? This week we’ve been immersed in planning for summer: where to vacation, how to welcome more airiness into our homes, and what we need to get our vegetable garden started. Take a look at what else we’ve been noting lately:
- Pssst…the secret to designing a considered garden.
- Front door inspiration. (And outdoor bathtub inspiration, too!)
- Photographer (and Quick Takes alum) Ngoc Minh Ngo has a new book out, Roses in the Garden, and it’s insanely beautiful.
- DWR is offering free shipping on all outdoor furniture! (And this classic chair is 30 percent off, to boot.)
- A dreamy drinks station idea for your next outdoor party.
- Looking for a flowering shrub to add to your landscape? Consider this stunner.
- A not-to-miss exhibit at MoMA: the botanical art of Swedish artist Hilma af Klint. “I literally wept at the Guggenheim exhibit of her work,” says Laura.
- Catch Margot at her botanical collage workshop on Sunday, May 18 at the New York Botanical Garden from 2-4:30 p.m.
- At the newly opened Heath Austin (yes, Texas!), order a bite to eat, then shop the piece it’s served on.
- Headed to NYCxDesign this weekend? We’re eager to check out the inaugural year of Afternoon Light.
- Also debuting in NYC: a sculptural light, 15 years in the making.
- An elegant little table lamp that Annie’s considering for her desk.
- More light inspo: Tortuga Forma has just released new patterns for its fabric lights. (Read Fan’s Object of Desire about them here.)
- Parachute Home is having a big sale—incl. these stripey picks.
- Ooh, DIY delft.
- Love this starry bed cover.
- Admiring Albi, a James Beard Award-winning Palestinian restaurant in D.C., newly redesigned, ft. embroidered artworks by Jordan Nassar.
- And on our pre-order list: a new cookbook from an editor-favorite restaurant.
- These pretty, pigmented, handwoven finds from Turkish brand Kutnia feel like a dash of rouge for the home. Find the pop-up at Bloomingdales 59th Street this month (or shop here).
- And Londoners, swing into our friend Skye McAlpine’s pop-up.
- Last, who knew a shower drain could be sexy? (Sponsored.)
