Guest Picks: California Dreaming
Take a virtual trip to the West Coast with furnishings that evoke an expert mix of beachy casual and quirky sophistication
Each year I dream of easy California living while gazing at icicles from my New England windows. If I lived in a seaside bungalow on the coast of the Golden State, I would fill the space with vibrant, casual pieces reminiscent of an endless summer. — Erika from Radiant Republic
