Dive RIGHT in
It’s 90 degrees and there’s not a swimming pool in sight. Cool off by creating the illusion of a shimmering lagoon—right on your tabletop. For that resort look, we paired a crisp, blue-and-white cloth runner with clear glass containers and pristine white serving ware. All fabrics, SeaCloth. (a) Stools, Amity Imports. Table, Smith & Hawken.

LEAFY LOUNGE
(b) In this conversation corner, the wooden mold over the sideboard serves the same purpose as a painting over a mantel. The chair and table fabrics are derived from the watercolors of artist Susan Harris for SeaCloth. (c) Creative reuse is our mantra. A salvaged industrial mold becomes a wall decoration. (d) Glass containers create a sculptural tablescape. Fill them with leaves and fronds instead of the usual flowers.
