my trip to LA last week left me desperate to get back to the beach and sunny weather. for me, beachy themes tend to run to two extremes: cool, mediterranean blues and rich warm tones. if ac and i ever win the lottery and end up with a beach home somewhere i’d love to play with both color stories and create a beach environment that’s cool and relaxing and then one that embraces the summer heat and goes spicy and bold. so today i’m feeling products that work for either theme….
