We have recs on everything from throw pillows and lighting to new umbrellas and extra seating. So whether you’re looking for a small spruce up, or something a bit bigger, have a look at our FabList Patio Refresh.
Buy Art Online?! An Expert’s Go-To Sites
Decorator Alison Johnston is often requested to help clients choose artwork. Gallery visits don’t always work for timing, access, and budgets. Here she shares her advice on where to go to online to purchase art that’s best for your eye and your budget.
This and That…
To Buy:
Have you noticed that Silver is all a shimmer for spring/summer? Shoes, purses, and even silver pants are everywhere! If you’re in the market, here are a couple options for some new silver items:
Silver Mary Janes: Wear with jeans or a dress for some added sparkle.
Silver Bottoms: These metallic pants from J. Crew are fun and these Rag & Bone metallic pants are a nice change from classic blue jeans. And how bout this silver skirt - it’s FAB!
Silver Purse: If you want an inexpensive way to embrace the silver trend, try this slouchy mesh bag!
To Read:
Chrissie just finished James by Percival Everett and highly recommends it. The book is a ‘reimagining’ of Huck Finn, told from the perspective of the slave Jim (aka James). So good.
To Watch:
Docu-Series: There are a lot of great docu-series currently out. If this is your thing, consider the following options;
Captains of the World: Netflix show about soccer, based on their exclusive access to all 32 teams as they fight for football glory in the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
WHAM!: Netflix. Step back into the 80’s with this documentary showing how two guys went from 12 year old best friends to becoming a huge pop star success. ‘Wake me up, before you go-go!’…who can resist it?!
The Many Lives of Martha Stuart: CNN Studios, Streaming on Max. 4 part series about the iconic woman who was the original ‘influencer’ and who has had many ups and downs while growing her empire.
STEVE (martin) A Documentary in 2 Pieces: AppleTV. A documentary about the amazing comedian, broken into ‘Then’ and ‘Now’, which chronicles his rise to fame and his current life.
