Ever since the Unexpected Red Theory started popping up online, all of us on the edit team have found ourselves swayed by the appeal of red. Here: 12 not-too-campy ideas for adding some unexpected red (and white) to the house: Above: We love the embroidered banners available from Felt. Shown is In L

Kind of chic to take the last weeks of August to unplug and unwind. Ahead, for all your poolside/hammock/front-porch browsing, a gallery we want to visit, a rug for tennis season, inspiration from Italy, and more. Read on: Above: Channeling this.

End of summer is for long, laid-back, unplugged days. In that spirit, here are the hot-weather essentials our editors are coveting for the balance of the season: Above: “I love classic striped deck chairs and have my eye on this modern Dutch version, the [product id="1022162"]Beach Chair[/product] b

OG readers—particularly those in the Pacific Northwest—might remember our Portland, Oregon market way, way, way back. Notary Ceramics, then a fledgling project that potter Sarah Van Raden started in her basement, was one of the makers who joined us and quickly became a favorite. We’ve been admirers

Consider it an upgrade from the window above the sink: kitchens that open fully to the outdoors, letting in summer breezes while you cook and encouraging dinners that spill onto the lawn in good weather (and back inside when the evening gets chilly). Here are 16 favorites. Above: Sliding glass doors

Consider this: Most people purchase cars more frequently than they do refrigerators. So while a high-end refrigerator may seem like an extravagance, over time, it pays off. Here are our top picks based on personal experience, consumer ratings, reader comments, and recommendations from kitchen applia

In keeping with this week’s Summer from the Archives issue, we’re diving (back) into a favorite Remodelista story to excavate the source of one particular detail. The project? A Colonial House in Bellport with Uncommon Style from French Designer C. S. Valentin. The detail? A lightweight cane rocking

Our Wellfleet guest cottage started life as a potting shed, a storage spot for lawnmowers, bags of soil, rakes, hoes, etc. Then, in the 1970s, my mother turned it into what she called “the studio” (it even had its own phone line!), where she worked at her desk overlooking the garden. She installed a

To our minds, the ideal canvas tote bag meets a few key requirements: 1) It’s minimal and hardworking enough for everyday use; 2) made from sturdy materials (no synthetics); and 3) perhaps most crucially, it has a flat, never flimsy bottom. That way, it can lug farmers’ market finds, serve as an ove

Summer’s not over—not hardly. There’s still plenty of time to get out into the garden and savor outdoor dinners by candlelight. This month, R/G subscribers can take advantage of two exclusive discounts from purveyors we love for tableware, pretty planters, late-summer essentials, and more. Read on:

On deck this weekend? Height-of-summer markets, three books we’re eyeing, statuesque flowers for the garden, and more. Read on: Above: Attn. Londoners: New on our must-visit list is Cremer at 1 Geffrye Street in Hoxton. Not nearby? Take a virtual tour in London’s Talk-of-the-Town New Café, Library I

Forty-five minutes outside Copenhagen, surrounded by the fields and forests of Humleore, Food Studio Farm House is a country retreat built around the pleasure of food, nature, and gathering. Food Studio hosts everything from long lunches and dinners in the garden to weddings, workshops, and celebrat

The Dutch arrived in Chianti earlier than one might expect. Among them were Isabella Van Marle’s grandparents, who settled in the countryside between Florence and Siena in the 1960s. Van Marle, born in London and now based in Amsterdam, spent her childhood summers in the area; in the late 1990s, her

Brittany Alberts’s lament is a familiar one: “If budget hadn’t been a consideration, we would have loved to expand the footprint of our kitchen. And we would have loved to put in new cabinets and appliances. Instead, we had to stick with—and enhance what—was already in place.” The wrinkle? Brittany

You’ve no doubt noted the culinary renaissance in tinned fish. Concurrent with that, we’ve seen some of the best packaging designs of the last two centurines on sardine cans and loved charting a related decorating trend: see 17 Times Fish Made an Appearance Beyond the Plate and The Fish Trend Contin

“Cremer is built on intention, every detail is considered,” begins Cremer’s help wanted listing. The new London café, a combination bakery/breakfast and lunch canteen, is fittingly located next to Hoxton’s Museum of the Home, an institution devoted to “revealing and rethinking the ways we live in or

In our search for summery wooden table lamps, we found ourselves drawn to designs that take the material all the way through, shade included. From light-diffusing wood veneer to sculptural solid timber, here are 10 that cast wood in a new light. Above: The Ferm Living Luver Portable Lamp with a stac

How is it that the French do simplicity so well? See: striped mariner shirts, the French bob, and the red lip. And add to the list: the interiors at Rendez-Vous Sur la Côte, a getaway in Brittany. I spent the better part of last week trying to track down one particular detail: a cream throw blanket

None of Rosanna Irwin’s past jobs prepared her for what she does now. But they all led to the feeling of burnout that’s she’s on a mission to help people combat. After studying business at University College Dublin, Rosanna became a senior sales account manager at Facebook, relocated from Dublin to

Our home office nook has been largely overlooked since we first moved in—4 years ago. We threw a desk down there, a decent chair, and voilà: an office. But the lack of intention has left the room feeling like a desk in a stock room. Looking ahead to the upcoming season, I’m ready to make things bett
