After last week’s somewhat austere board, and this past weekend’s buckets of sunshine, I couldn’t resist a board that incorporated yellow. The super-saturated hue here (reminds me of a glass of orange juice!) plays nicely with cool garden green. A trim, blooming cake, over-sized bows, and a yellow wedding dress work well as accents for this summertime garden party.

Has anyone else seen the buzz about L.L. Bean Signature and Lands End Canvas? Interesting that they seemed to surface at about the same time, no? I like the look and styling of both lines, as well as the price point. Here are a few of my favorites:

Starting from the image in the upper left corner, I tried to match the exact deep royal of the ties. Challenging, but I think this board turned out nicely! Paired with kraft brown and soft cream, it’s a refreshing palette that nicely bridges the few weeks between winter and spring. The crisp, clean, but still-a-little-bit-country details are a nice twist on rustic, I think.
