the look book spring 2017 The sun is shining, flowers are blooming, and we are thrilled to be welcoming spring! Sick of your standard florals but dying to bring a breath of fresh air into your home? Use the 2017 Spring Look Book for all your inspiration.

typoGraphy

Greens With Pantone’s selection of Greenery as the 2017 Color of the Year, greens are the go-to color for all styling. Try using this vibrant hue in accent pieces to spice up your décor scene, such as green pillows, rugs, or even appliances.

Mix and match pieces with different typestyles to bring eclectic charm to your home.

Scripted, shadowed, all caps – have fun with it! Typography is also a classy way to use favorite quotes without feeling cliché.

tropics

Mythical Unicorns and mermaid are all the rage with all ages right now, but incorporating them in an adult aesthetic can be a challenge. Start small – painted mugs, small prints, and cocktail napkins are the perfect way to sprinkle just a taste of magic into the everyday.

Dreaming of a warm, sunny beach vacation? Bring the dream to life with tropical elements. Vintage beachy prints compliment a midcentury modern aesthetic, and palms add a certain Caribbean calm to any style.

Gardens

honeycoMb

If the tropics are a bit too chill, add some class to your home with garden party décor. Mix golds with florals, and use imagery of butterflies and birds to add whimsical charm.

This pattern is a perfect way to add spring life without abandoning your mod look. A throw or placemats are perfect for an easy, nonpermanent pop, but if you’re loving this look for the long run, try out an accent wall or salad plates.

GARDEN PARTY springtime means gorgeous gardens and warm sunshine, and what better way to kick off the season than with a charming garden party? show off your green space with these tips to host the perfect garden party this spring. Pass the iced tea!

EnhancE Your Florals

Don’t limit yourself to the flowers naturally growing. Enhance your garden with extra flowers, nestling them into hanging lights, garlands, centerpieces, and even ice cubes! Pick up edible flowers from your local grocer and freeze them into cubes, then use to spruce up a pitcher of lemonade, or place in an ice bucket to keep your Prosecco chilly.

hErbal rEmEdiEs

The latest trendy cocktails all have one ingredient in common – fresh herbs! At your cocktail bar, be sure to put out milk jars of fresh herbs that guests can use to add fresh grown flare to their drinks. We recommend basil, cilantro, mint and rosemary to start. Bonus tip: write out go-to combinations to inspire your guests.

KEEp it plaYFul

Use the outdoor setting to keep it casual! Use balloons, bright paper lanterns and twinkle lights to liven up the scene. create a makeshift photo booth by hanging vintage gold picture frames on branches and setting out props for your guests to pose with. Enjoy the natural levity a garden party creates!

incorporatE EarthinEss

Feel like your party is looking a bit too preppy? Add a touch of nature with twine, burlap, or hay bales. Dark wood charcuterie boards are also a great way to bring woodsy charm to your aesthetic. Embrace Mother Nature with natural hues mixed into your garden chic look.

GUIDE

SPRING CLEANING Now is the perfect time to do a deep clean and organize your living space. Unfortunately, this can be a bit daunting – where do we even begin? Here are our tips for making the most out of your spring cleaning time.

Hidden Nooks

Spring cleaning is the perfect time to seek out those hard-to-reach and hidden spots that collect dust during the year. Baseboards, door frames, light switches, and even sliding door tracks all need a good scrub. Be sure you’re using the right tools for small spaces – toothbrushes can be your best friend!

Break It Down

If you’re in a large home, spring cleaning can be intimidating. Take it in bites you can chew – do one room at a time. Whether your schedule allows for one room a day, one room a week, or completing them all back to back, this will help you get a grasp on all the cleaning to be done. Splitting up tasks by room is also a great way to have other family members help – everyone can focus on perfecting one space.

Back Away

Try to bring all furniture and appliances as far away from the walls as possible. This allows you to clean all sides of the piece, the wall space it typically covers, as well as completely under its usual spot.

You’ll be surprised what your standard “vacuum under the couch” routine misses!

Get Organized

Before you pick up a single paper towel, be sure you are at a good place with your organizational systems. There’s no point in cleaning items in disarray. Labeled bins and baskets make it easier for the whole family to stay on track, and there’s never any harm in filling a basket with items to donate each month!

The new water taxi also makes for a fun and easy way to cruise the bay without having to rent or own a boat. Keep your eyes peeled for Potomac Distilling Company, coming in October.
