SUMMER’S GLOW
Calling to mind Tuscany’s sun-washed green valleys and ancient hill towns, this outdoor tableau layers honed surfaces, textural linens, and homespun accents with a palette of gentle hues. The subdued scene comes alive with watermelon-pink runners and bouquets of lavender and dahlias tucked into earthen vessels, as if freshly picked from the fields. A rosemary sprig laid atop each place setting evokes the magical fragrance of the Italian countryside, while a brilliant assortment of tomatoes spilling over the table whispers of the summertime garden bounty.
