Meg Ryan's lovely beach retreat in Martha's Vineyard

Now, I know I have an obsession with Nantucket.

I have yet to visit the similar sister Island, Martha's Vineyard, although it is definitely in my plans to do so! I know that it is a larger, more populated, and a more popular island.  The Massachusetts Island has a history and ties with many of the "rich & famous" in history. I can see why the Island has an appeal to many famous people. It has a unique character and beauty and can offer a peaceful seclusion from the rest of the world. It's dreamy really.  Well, at least I imagine so. I adore Nantucket and Cape Cod, and know that it is very similar to those lovely places.  

Anyway, Meg Ryan is one of those movie star's that brilliantly chose to take refuge and comfort on the beautiful island of Martha's Vineyard. 

Featured in Elle Decor, Meg offers a peek into her comfortable and beautiful beach retreat. Her bathroom is actually one of my favorite rooms of the house. The bathtub, vanity, storage, tiled floor, and funky lighting are all pure perfection in my book!  The bluestone and brick shelving in the pantry is pretty impressive too.  Another fave is the dinning area. Love the vintage "Flowers" sign and all the interior windows. It adds character and a historical feel to the beach house.  Check out the article and more photos at Elle Decor.

Lily Kanter's Entertaining California Home::

 Lily Kanter, co-founder of Serena & Lily, has created a home with entertaining in mind. 

Loved the photos and article of Lily's Mill Valley, California estate found in Coastal Living.

It's always fun to see the home, personal space, of a designer.  

What they do with their personal space makes quite a statement. 

I think Lily Kanter has impeccable taste.  You can tell she enjoys comfort, 

entertaining, and the little details, by the home she lives in.

 I adore the inviting blue color of her home with the happy red trim windows and door. 

Also, the floor of the kitchen is perfection with the dark tiles and white hexagon boarder.

 And how inviting is the Serena & Lily hanging chair!?  I could enjoy some serious relaxing time enjoying the palms and sun.

Quinoa Granola

QUINOA GRANOLA 

3 Cupa Quinoa 

1/2 Cup Olive Oil (sometimes I change this to 1/4 cup olive oil & 1/4 cup coconut oil)

1/4 Cup Maple Syrup 

1/4 Cup Honey

2 Tbsp. Flax Seeds

2 Tbsp. Chia Seeds

Salt

Make Quinoa according to package instructions. Mix ingredients and spread on parchment paper on a baking sheet. Sprinkle with Sea Salt. Roast at 400 degrees for 30 min. 

I stop 1/2 through the cooking time to stir the granola. When granola has cooled I add almond milk and a few toppings. I like dried blueberries, cranberries, and almonds. Or fresh fruit like mangos or peaches. 

I seriously love this granola and could eat it every day, but if you're not used to quinoa it might take a bit to get used to... just a warning. Also pictured is a berry protein "green" smoothie.

Smoothie includes water, coconut water, kale, spinach, bananas, blueberries, raspberries, chia seeds, flax seed, and raw protein powder.

Stylish Living Room by Emily Henderson

Obsessed with this living room makeover by Emily Henderson 

for Bri Emery from DesignLoveFest. 

Love the mix of modern and vintage, but it's amazing how much the green plants add to

 the oomph of the room.  This is one of those rooms where you fall-in-love at first glance, 

and then with each detail you notice you become more attached. 

Details and more photos are on Emily's blog. 

I always love the work of Emily Henderson, especially when she includes 

items from Modern Palm Boutique!

 In the past, she has used some of our Katherine Rally Bali Pillows. 

Check photos of her design using our pillows here.

Serena & Lily :: Beach Market in the Hampton's

Modern Palm is currently only an online store... 

but someday, dare-I-dream, 

I'd love to have a brick & mortar shop... and to add to the dream, 

by the beach!  

ahem. back to reality:: 

so, for now I will just drool over the ever-so-perfect beach market of

Serena & Lily 

in the Hampton's. It is truly, in my eyes, PERFECTION.

They had me at the black & white awning. True love. 

The darling chic Italian beach cruiser adds quite the charm, I must say. 

The colors, designs, and merchandise is just amazing. 

How lucky for all those who are living in or visiting Montauk, NY this summer.

The surfboards are hand-painted by Serena. 

Love them, but I think they're too perfect to 

actually surf on, but how perfect would they look in a beach house!?

The beach vibe, the colors, the chic beach market... I adore it all!
