Seduced By Palm Beach

We just got back from a week in Palm Beach, Florida, where the weather was ideal and the food was amazing.  It's so hard to get back into the swing of things here in chilly New York!  I miss the hotel pool, the beach, and restaurants...not to mention daily housekeeping!  Palm Beach style is still so fresh on my mind.  A mix of mid century modern, old school Wasp prep, punchy colors, loads of faux bamboo and China Seas fabrics topped off with beach inspired accessories.  These interiors by Meg Braff, epitomize everything I love in design in this region.

    Lucky you! Love this too, I would never do all the tropical in my own home because I couldn't deal with it all the time, but I LOVE to look at pictures of it! XX!

    I had to save 1 & 4 pictures... So beautiful. I often envy people who can enjoy living in a warmer climate. I am definitely a sunshine girl myself, can't get enoough of it and really really really hate being cold.

    Wishing you a great week!

    I love the color and pop of PB! What would it hurt to do a PB-influenced house in New England? Especially when summer still feels so far away!

    These are beautiful. One of the nice things about blogging is looking at interiors that wouldn't work in your home, but that you can live vicariously through.

    LOVED them all. And I wish I could hit that Dixie Highway vintage/antique stretch that you so often read about in connection with doing a Florida interior. Sounds like you had a great time. :-)

    Oh thats sounds wonderful ! So many elements remind me of what all our friends homes looked like growing up. An incredible sense of calm comes when I see them. Is it the room or the reminder of my childhood ? Happy Monday to you !

    Welcome back... I hope you'll post some pictures of your vacay =) I've never been to Palm Beach, but I think the style is SO utterly glamorous. How could anyone have a bad day when they're surrounded by all of that color and pattern? Lovesss it! xo

    Love Palm Beach style..so elegant, timeless and fun with all those great colors..whats not to love. I grew up with a grandmother whose house was done mostly in pink and green with dark woods and it was all quite fabulous though as kids we used to think it was funny how we referred staying over at her house to staying in "the pink room".....great pictures above...love PB, its a special gem of a place with all that gorgeous architecture. Meg Braff is a genius with this look....
