One surefire way to hold onto Summer, even after it's bid you adieu, is to introduce accents with a subtle, beachy motif into your home. Just because the leaves may be turning, and you're keeping an extra layer handy when you leave the house, doesn't mean you can't have a reminder of Summer close to home. The
Hable Sand Dollar Quilt ($128 -$134) and Sham ($14) will prolong the season with their cheerful, but muted, turquoise and green tones and sand-dollar motif, whilst keeping you warm.
If you've got a beach house to furnish, a colorful,
Chace Crawford-style lawn chair by your pool or in the sand will give your home an instant taste of the season. But, if you're a city mouse, you can still capture the
Summer style of a day at the beach with colorful lounge chairs printed on your bedding. The
Garnet Hill Beach Break Percale Bedding ($25-$125) is printed with original watercolor artwork on 200
thread count.
Since the advent of Summer is fast approaching, I thought I'd focus on two elements that are crucial to your experience at home this season — gardens and parties. The
Garnet Hill Hungarian Baby Bathtub ($159, from $228) will serve up plants in the garden or drinks at parties all Summer long. You can get creative with it and use it in the bathroom to store towels.
Garnet Hill is currently offering
20 percent off on select styles of quilts. Pick up a simple but textured one to temper the pattern of your busy sheets, or try a patchwork quilt to add interest to your crisp, white bedding. Matching shams are on sale, too, if that's what you're in the market for.
For the past six years,
Hable Construction, the practical yet stylish textile troupe, has worked with
Garnet Hill to create an exclusive holiday program for the mail-order catalog. This year, their collaboration expanded to include more holiday items than ever. Once holiday gift wrap, tree skirts, and felt appliqué Christmas stockings lost their relevance, it was evident that Garnet Hill shoppers were still hungry for Hable.
