Above: From Rooms to Inspire by the Sea by Annie Kelly with photos by Tim Street-Porter. This is from Chris Mead and Zoe Hoare's Sagaponack home. Those blue pitchers look as though they're waiting to be filled with bunches of flowers from the back yard.


Above: A Kitchen from the Light Locations site.


Above: An illustration from the cookbook "1080 Recipes" by Simone and Ines Ortega, illustrations by Javier Mariscal. This drawing creates a place I'd love to be.


Above: From a book by Francois Halard, this was taken in Cy Twombly's studio.


Above: From Rooms to Inspire by the Sea. This is John Derian's Living Room in Provincetown, looking out at the bay.


Above: Another image from Rooms to Inspire by the Sea. This is part of Richard Shapiro's Broad Beach home.


Above: John Singer Sargent, A Hotel Room, after 1900. This room looks like a cool retreat on a hot day.

Above and below: Chamomile Flowers...a summer favorite, as they're delicate and have a natural wild look.



Above: On our Dining Table, white porcelain by Julia Haft-Candell from IKO IKO has the appeal of a child's drawing. The basket weave handle is a perfect place to put small flower stems.

  3. There are scenes I recognize from previous visits (e.g. Wellfleet, including the shot of the man heading up the dunes}. What is so nice about that shot and so many of the pictures you've included is that one can see oneself in that scene, physically as well as emotionally. Your slideshow soothes the soul. Thank you.

  5. Matisse & Fairfield Porter seem like old friends now, thanks to you. And a new one: Robert DeNiro Sr. -- how Matisse-like he was! And Steve's work is beautiful -- such a pleasure to see it.
    Only Egon Schiele could make sunflowers look sad.
    But the photo of you and your parents is incredibly warm and alive.
    Again: brava!
