If you’ve been following along over the years, you’ll have noticed that there’s one colour that pops up in my designs time and time again: blue. And while I love everything from a saturated navy to the palest of sky blues, my current obsession is French Blue. The perfect cool blue and inherently sophisticated, I mean it’s named after one of the chicest countries in the world!
It’s my favorite time year! And not only because it’s summer, which has been splendid so far, but because it’s fig season! Sadly like all good things though it’s a very short season and they’ll be gone before you know it! I may have been a little overzealous in my shopping for figs. If you follow me on social media (which you should ;-)) you’ll notice a lot of them on my feed this week!
To be honest I was a little unsure of them until a couple years ago, but since then have fallen in love! They are perfect in a rustic crostata like this, a fancy Fig Frangipane Tart like I’m sharing today, or with a little goat cheese and wrapped in prosciutto.
What’d you do if you yearn for ocean-side living but find yourself in the middle of Toronto? Follow designer Margie Doyle White’s lead and create a bright and breezy home that is chic, yet laid back and perfect for entertaining. White’s home is this week’s addition to my Inspired Interiors series and the perfect example of embracing the feel of your house and its surroundings while creating the look you desire. She says “I may dream about living by the ocean, but this isn’t the Hamptons. It’s a traditional home in the middle of Toronto, so I had to honour that before I could inject any seaside-chic vibes.”
