From account executive Stevi Jackson: “I had the great pleasure of owning a small Cliff May home in Dallas, TX once. It is my understanding that he did many of the houses on my block early in his career–before he headed west and became known for his classic California style. Every time summer rolls around, I long for the wonderful glass walls and courtyard of that tiny house! (“Cliff May: Classic California Ranch” from California Home + Design)

From art director Mandy Keener: “I’m so excited about this! Huge fan of both Charley Harper & Todd Oldham, and now I can add to my collection of fun dishes. There will be many happy mornings drinking my orange juice from these glasses!” (“Todd Oldham’s Charley Harper Collection for Fishs Eddy” from Apartment Therapy)

From editor in chief Diane Carroll: “If you haven’t discovered Mrs. Lilien yet, it’s a must read blog– always obliges with just the right visual inspiration for every season, trip or event! Booking my summer trip to the beach, and I spy some lovely finds I’d like to pack in my bag.” (“Take Me To…” from Mrs. Lilien–Styling House)
