We have color and joy on the brain this weekend: pretty palettes, rose arbors, cherry-topped cakes, pattern plays galore. And, of course, blue and orange, too. (Let’s go, Knicks!)

- This week we’ve been eyeing all things Scandinavian design…including this newly opened housewares store in Stonington, CT (hat tip: Julie).
- Annie traveled to Copenhagen for 3daysofdesign! Check out her visual diary here and here.
- “Wish I had a tiny sink to make over,” says Fan after seeing this mini tile upgrade.
- “Don’t judge me by my messiness,” says chef Yotam Ottolenghi of his colorful home kitchen.
- On our dream destinations list: this holiday rental in the round in Todos Santos, Mexico.
- The prettiest wedding cakes we’ve seen in a long while.
- Very cool makeshift kitchen drawers composed of colorful crates.
- Save the date: Heath is bringing back The Good Flea vintage market on June 27 and 28, at its San Francisco tile factory. Details here.
- Um, why do we not have this in the U.S.? Genius.

- Find out what all the cool gardeners wear. (We spy quite a few Quick Takes alum, including Nick Spain, Rebecca McMackin, and Deborah Needleman, among those interviewed.)
- What happens when you replace the front lawn with something more wild and biodiverse? Pure dreaminess.
- Bold color in two very different gardens over on Gardenista: Artist Robert Dash’s sweeping landscape and Marie’s tiny terrace.
