How about a Kate Golding paper? She has such great small patterns. https://www.kategolding.ca/abundant-springtime-collection

*not peel and stick but if you love the pattern, well, it’s a small project…

I like the teak chair with the cushion. The curve on the arms works nicely with the curve of the arms on your existing outdoor furniture. But they aren’t so matchy with the table that they look like a set either.
For a tablecloth - I was also going to recommend idreamoffrance - or a trip to Provence. :)

Ruby, I saw the monkey one from them but the colors don't seem to work. They are some of the loveliest outdoor pillows around! Might get some for the outdoor deck of our MBR In Maine. The ones I have there are fading. As for this project, the turquoise color on my furnishings is proving tougher than I'd have thought. Also, so many pillows have delicate patterns that I don't think pair in mood with the suzani.

The girls liked the pineapple/bird ones too. I ordered two lumbar for the dining chairs, with the turquoise piping, Having them might be enough to tie things together without repeating it on the other furniture. We shall see. Found a 36" round table yesterday, still looking for chairs. Now they have to have a solid back as well so the pillows don't fall out. I am going to a few more places in person today to look around.

Ruby, I love the monkey with umbrella ones! I am going back to look past the first page. So much fun! Thanks for sharing the link.

I love the simplicity of the materials, the rectilinear form, and the WINDOWS.

What a gorgeous house and setting. Love everything about it — the materials, the organic feel, the design, all of it. It’s so serene.

I could move in today and wouldn’t change a thing.

If y’all need me, I’ll be reading on my chaise, overlooking the pool.



Or in my tub, overlooking the gardens.



Thank you for sharing, Fun!

Love the pool, the big windows, the pool and of course the view.

But I really don't like anything else. Not an MCM fan. It always feels too cold/sterile to me.

Can we talk about the sliding doors opening a room to the outside? I love the concept and I love the look, but I don't know how it works in real life. Here my house would be filled with bugs, squirrels and probably birds.

We stayed at the Amara Resort and Spa.

Picture from our Pink Jeep tour.



We lucked out and got the tour to ourselves.

We stayed a week. We went to Jerome and we took a small plane to the Grand Canyon.

We did a local tour but it was too hot to do any real hiking.

Just being near the rocks is spectacular.

I don't recall any specific restaurants. We did eat at the resort.

I would research at least one restaurant to reserve since you are not staying long.

Thanks! Pink Jeep tours are on my list. I’ll check out the Amara and Enchantment resorts.

Mairecaite, I have that bowl, too! It’s perfect for the two of us, for cooking something small or for leftovers. The lid broke, too, which is to bad because it was also handy.

We have the ”colored” bowls, and the blue (we also have a yellow in the same small size) perfect for egg salad and tuna salad. The big yellow is the right size for microwave popcorn!

I have a white shallow bowl made of thick plastic - pretty much cutting board material that I got at Crate and Barrel a long long time ago. It’s lightweight and perfect for collecting compost scraps, or ingredients when I am prepping mirepoix or veggies for later stages of a recipe. I really wish I could find a few more. No label on it. Rarely use plastic bowls but for some reason this thing has been handy for 15, maybe even 20 years now.

It made me grow a third arm, I just didn’t want to say anything.

Anyway, it’s a bonus. I always need another hand to do things.
