We always say the same thing at the end of summer, where did it go? It was really hot much of the time but that did not stop us from eating dinner on the patio, enjoying the garden and taking a couple of short trips. Now, here it is, Labor Day! Enjoy the weekend.

My plan was to have a vacation in Maine this summer, but like many of our summer plans, the season passed all too quickly to make the trip. So I did the next best thing and went to Shelter Island; it feels a bit like Maine but is closer to home. In just three days, we were able to hit many of the East End’s design destinations.

It is no secret that I love tile. I am very familiar with white or red clay body tile, and as in the case of Grove Brickworks, brown clay. However, our new collection of tile, Magma, is created from the materials spilled from an erupting volcano. As its name suggests, Magma has a unique texture and chemistry; the body composition is a charcoal gray fine-grained lava mixed with other minerals.
A dark and textured backsplash, a fabulous wood cutting board and pewter accessories collected in one place make a great statement.

In much the same way that the bath needs a once-a-year overhaul, the kitchen is usually in need of a similar tune up. As the seasons change, I feel like it’s the right time to suggest a few simple fixes with big impact in both design and function.
