This week the Gardenista editors took note of a midcentury-inspired sunroom in New York, a seasonal cocktail workshop, and more. Here are our notes:
![This week on Remodelista, Alexa visited a historic sea captain\2\17;s house in Bellport, NY, re-envisioned by French designer C.S. Valentin. Of particular note: the sunroom, with a midcentury sofa sourced locally and plant pots by the owner’s brother, David Haskell of DGH Studio.
