Finishing Touches-Tying Together our Living Room and Workspace with Serena & Lily

It’s Summer on the Cape!

Dog Days of Summer… August is always a busy mon Dog Days of Summer…

August is always a busy month for us, lots of friends and family come to enjoy the Cape. The weather has been spectacular the last few weeks and spending these sultry, sunny days relaxing under our new Cane-line umbrella has been a highlight. Just when we thought we couldn’t possibly enjoy our deck more, what a difference it’s made to have shade!!
(Sharing some deck moments from last week with some of my best buddies, swipe!)

We chose the @caneline Hyde luxe hanging parasol, (this is the 9x12) for it’s modern, timeless design, great quality and because it’s so easy to use.

Today is Sparrow’s first birthday, it’s International Dog Day AND My birthday is tomorrow! Tonight, we will celebrate together right here, under my umbrella!

Happy Birthday to my Birdie Boy!💙

they are so comfortable! 

*Chris and Nathalie’s sweet puppy Bunny and Sparrow are best buddies.

*A touch of purple in my front porch pots! @mahoneysgarden 

*My @arhaus dining chairs made such a difference in our dining room!

*Morning summer sun in the family room✨

*The two old demi-johns I found at the Sandwich Flea.

*The way Sparrow sploots and breathes in the fresh sea air!🤭

*Pizza nights, even in summer!

*The sweet greeting I get from Sparrow when I come in, even if I literally just run out to the car to grab something.

*Clean Windows!! Never underestimate the power of them!

Shade in the Summer… I have spent years noodlin Shade in the Summer…

I have spent years noodling over ideas to add shade on our back deck. I love those shade sails, but we have too much wind for that and I didn’t want something that would block our view of the salt marsh. Really, I wanted a big, beautiful,  resort-like cantilever umbrella but that would take up too much room on the deck.

Last year we had to replace our staircase to the deck and that got me thinking. I drew up a plan to add a platform behind the deck. I had used a @caneline Hyde Luxe Hanging Parasol at a client’s home and it was so beautiful!! It started me planning and measuring!

It turned out PERFECT! We are so happy we added it, it’s gorgeous, practical and rated for high-wind! It’s changed our whole deck-experience! (I’m linking the umbrella in stories!)

Happy Weekend!
