Summer, Summer
Don’t Leave Us!

September 8, 2016

I am told the end of summer is officially September 21st.  But, sending my kids back to college makes it feel like the end of this glorious season is right NOW.  I am sad to see summer come to an end, so this week I am looking back on what a wonderful time it was.

Some travel was involved.  Going to Siena and surrounding Tuscany kicked off the summer when we went to pick up my daughter from her spring semester in Rome.

I launched my first product in early July!

Smells divine.  There are a few left!

A little design work.  A deck got a facelift.

And a powder room.  Not too much.  It was a relaxing summer!

I wrote about the sweet movie theatre on Block Island, opened in 1882 and still going strong.

Lastly, I was nominated for a blog award in mid-July.  Very exciting!  The Amara Interior Blog Awards are based in the UK (have no idea how they found me!) and nominated The Wry Home for “Best USA Interior Blog.”  Voting ends on September 9th – tomorrow.  If you are so inclined, please vote by clicking here:Screen Shot 2016-08-25 at 11.06.09 AM And, the words Pumpkin Spice Latte are not to be spoken until September 22nd!

I have loved design ever since I painted my bedroom walls high-gloss lime green in the fourth grade. A lifelong hobby, mixing low cost items with a few pricier pieces thrown in, has become The Wry Home. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t!
