I am looking forward to putting my temporary move behind me (this weekend) and focusing on designing new digs because we are way overdue! Cookouts, cocktails and sailboat rides from our beloved AYC and long summer nights capped off by rainbow sunsets.
If I am the lucky winner of your print it will surely find its way into this designing woman’s domain!
Thanks for sharing your BI snapshots! Enjoy the weekend!

I am loving The Wry Home, and this week your wonderful photos Liz! And YES I too want to win the great print…il est enchanté and would look nice in my family room! This summer I am looking forward to wearing white jeans, flip flops, floppy hats and shades, reading books at the beach or on the patio, kayaking and cycling, eating yummy veggies from our garden, and spending time with my son just home from freshman year of college, darling daughter and patient husband, as well as extended family and friends…cheers!

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!
