Raw Elegance
Creating an elegant home doesn’t have to be stuffy or glossy, especially when you place luxurious materials alongside everyday objects and raw textures.  Raw elegance is about finding the balance between taking your breath away and giving yourself somewhere cozy to unwind.

Some winning combinations are concrete and velvet, marble and linen, homemade ceramics and sterling silver.  It can be a bit unnerving to mix and match styles that seem inherently opposing, but the rewards are huge because you will always feel pampered in luxury but comfortable and relaxed as well.

Here are a few of my favorite examples of Raw Elegance:

I spent the morning foraging in the backyard… it I spent the morning foraging in the backyard… it’s bursting with hydrangea, dripping with figs (sadly for us our pet deer have helped themselves to the blueberries and blackberries 😅) but I had this moment as I was filling my vases with my bounty from my own backyard… I just smiled and felt so utterly happy- summer may just be my favorite season after all! 

What is your favorite part of summer?! 

With the weekend ahead we’ve got Prosecco and summer charcuteries on our agenda, plus a few mean rounds of cornhole with the boys! We might even squeeze in lounging in the sun, baking a blueberry crumble (with blueberries from the grocery store!), and just generally unwinding and soaking up these summer days! Happy weekend XxV
