New in Shop: The Santorini Tote

New in Modern Palm Boutique:

It is fun, casual, modern, practical, & screams summer fun!

and the summery colors.

Yellow Porch Planters

I have had a hard time finding the right planters for my porch. 

Just couldn't find the right size, style, and color all in one. 
So, I finally went to the Homey-D (Home Depot) and purchased 
the size and style I wanted, then conveniently went to the paint section
 and selected a fun, bight yellow spray paint and adapted the planters to what I wanted.  

I'm happy with the bright, summery statement that they make. 

I still need to add flowers, but am waiting for the weather to cooperate.

The Perfect Entertaining Kitchen

Spotted this perfect entertaining kitchen at Traditional Home.

Molly Frey, a residential designer in Marblehead, Massachusetts, 

was enlisted to help her parents build a new vacation house in Naples, Florida. 

The plan:  to create a kitchen that is sophisticated yet relaxed and geared for entertaining!

Freshly Remodeled Beach Kitchen

I spotted this bright & fresh beachy kitchen from Remodelaholic.

It is actually a remodeled kitchen from a lovely Australian home that was 

featured in Home Beautiful and the owners blog is Spots and Stripes.

I adore what this Australian gal did with her kitchen!

I especially enjoy the serious collection of pineapples she has. 

In fact, my shop Modern Palm has some lovely porcelain fruit that would fit right in...

don't-cha think? ;)

Banana & Pineapple from Modern Palm Boutique

Inspired By: Palm Trees

I don't know about you, but we are enjoying a little Spring break this week...

Today I'm inspired by Palm Trees.  They just make me happy and these fabulous 

photos via Pinterest are making me happy today! 

Whatever you're doing today hope you're enjoy it. 

I'm off to the park and pool with my lovely kiddos. Mwah!

Loving Hexagon by David Hicks

Loving this Hexagon Wallpaper by David Hicks...

In fact, "loving" is not a strong enough word.

I'm kinda in a frenzy obsession. 

I'm trying to wallpaper my entry and am on the countdown to make a final decision. 

But, you know me. I like too many colors + styles, 

and I can't quite settle on just one fabulous design.

But then I found hexagon...

Could I? Should I?

New in Shop//Darling Aprons for Children!

New in Shop! Darling new aprons to add to our fabulous

Children collection in Modern Palm!

New in stock are the Hoot apron and the Retro Space apron.

We still have a few left of the Zaza aprons and Dino aprons.

My own children have these aprons and they use them often, not only in the kitchen, but when we are doing crafts and projects.  

*They could make a perfect addition to an Easter basket!*

Many children are eager to help out in the kitchen, but this can get pretty messy. Are aprons are made of laminated cotton and are 18 inch in length. They are kid-friendly and protect clothing from stains and spills. So go ahead- let them help stir the brownie mix or add blueberries to pancake batter. They will have fun and learn, and you won't worry about red frosting splatter. This time. Also great for arts and crafts projects. All aprons are lead and phthalate free.

Also check out our Children 

section for darling 

art, books, mobiles, &  decorative pillows.

ALMOND & YOGURT WAFFLES WITH ORANGE HONEY SYRUP from ROOST

This amazing recipe comes from one of my favorite blogs, Roost.  

How is it that some people get all the talent? Well, Caitlin, from Roost, sure did... she has amazing photography, capturing videos, and delicious recipes. She and her husband went gluten, grain, sugar, lactose, and starch free a few years ago... 

How in the world can you have delicious food then? Well they show us how on her lovely blog.

I have been trying to make healthy choices + changes in my home, and I love discovering new healthy recipes, especially breakfast recipes.  My children enjoy having breakfast for dinner, as do I, so I'm looking forward to trying these almond & yogurt waffles for our next breakfast night.

Modern & Warm: A Balancing Act

Loved this article and photos found in Coastal Living on the balancing act of blending 

different styles in this amazing Vero Beach, Florida home. 

These photos are sure warm and inviting on a cold March day...

 Russell Groves was the designer for this lovely home and is known for his clean, contemporary design. This home sure proves that modern and warm can blend perfectly. 

 Love this huge, shinny, nickel drum pendant light that hangs above the lovely circular 

oak table. The wishbone dining chairs with rattan seats are amazing! 

I want them in my dining room.

I love the juxtaposition of warm and cool colors, organic and sleek surfaces, and dark and light furnishings makes the rooms come alive. The camel colored leather framed mirror adds a warm note to the cool palette.  I love the wall paneling on both sides of the fireplace and think it adds interest to the white walls.

Pah-leez! This patio and pool surrounded by palm trees is quite amazing.

In my dreams...
