With the arrival of summer, the line between indoor and outdoor living becomes blurred—and we are all about it! Bright fruits and florals make their way inside while patios and porches become the setting for meals and cool evening gatherings.
The cottage-style homes in our latest issue are defined by natural light, glorious colors, and fresh summer florals! From outdoor dinner party ideas and an all-shade garden to coastal abodes and country-style charmers, this issue epitomizes all that is summer bliss. So, open a window, pour a glass of lemonade, and enjoy every page in our Summer 2019 issue!
