hamptons style for summer

Summer’s almost here!

I really don’t feel like it’s summer

until school’s out,

which for us is kind of late…

the third week in June.

This week we’ve been suffering

from a severe case of “June gloom”,

typical weather for us here in Newport.
It's been gray and drizzly every day
in June so far!

So, to brighten my outlook on summer,

I’m ogling some pretty outdoor spaces from

Frontgate’s newest collection
that has that hip Hamptons vibe.

This patio space next to the fireplace and under 

the gorgeous pergola is so inviting.

I love how all the white acccessories pop!  
So chic.

Using my favorite beach colors of

sand, sky and water, these vignettes

just make me want to step in and relax.  

Daybed out by the pool?

Yes, please!

Here are some of the key pieces from the 
"Summer in the Hamptons"  Collection  by Frontgate

a gorgeous outdoor collection by frontgate

Spring is officially here, and I’m officially in love with this new collection of outdoor furniture from Frontgate. They’re calling it “Garden Party”, and rightly so! 

Here’s an advanced look at some of my favorite looks and vignettes from this collection including great furniture pieces and lovely traditional accents and accessories with a European twist. 

Pictured above, the comfort of indoor furniture moves outdoors with the upholstered Avalon Seating collection. Its sleek profile is created by the uniquely designed upholstered panels set within the gray cast aluminum frame, and upholstered in weather-defying Sunbrella fabric.

The quatrefoil pattern recurring throughout the Avery seating set puts a contemporary twist on the antique iron gates you’d find in Europe. 

The quatrefoil cameo designs of these chair backs give this collection a traditional look with an eclectic twist, especially in fuschia! A gorgeous way to enjoy years of alfresco meals seated around this table. 

Create the allure of a French sidewalk café with these charming Paris Bistro chairs. These colorful chairs have an authentic look and make you feel like you’ve been transported to your favorite sidewalk café in Paris!

The rounded, open-concept of the modular Sotto Seating collection brings a relaxed vibe toany gathering. I really love the handwoven wicker look of these sectional pieces!

Vibrant blues, bold patterns and charming elephants set a fun mood for a casual meal alfresco. The scalloped edges and well-coordinated pieces make setting the table a cinch!

A trio of mirrors works perfectly above this elegant beverage station. We'll be ready to serve our guests in style!

black and white for outdoor spaces

  

For the chicest of chic looks for your outdoor living areas,

try a dramatic black and white color scheme.

A solid black wall is brought to life with an eye catching display

of all white plates and black and white Spode transferware plates,

and then grounded by a great zebra-print area rug.

 Keep the design classic and simple. 

Stripes are always a nice choice for a table cloth. 

Color can then be added with gorgeous flowers. 

Create an outdoor retreat with a resort vibe.

Large or small, your space will shine.

A large plain wall can be simply adorned 
with stencils or real bird cages.

A softly draped area is sure to add ambiance. 

Bring out some of your indoor pieces 
for a special gathering.

Mix and match beautiful geometric prints.

Your space will be pretty to look at,

and even better to relax in.

Here are a few picks from Frontgate to get you started.

ciao! fabiana
