Bloom where you’re planted!  Currently, I am holed up in my summer house in Montauk, NY where I love entertaining! As I always say, Decorating and DIY go hand-in-hand.  Whether you escape to a beach house or indulge locally in summer entertaining, the perfect accoutrement is eye-catching clusters of pretty flowers in bold vases of varying heights.  Inspired by pottery genius Jonathan Adler’s vases and fashion designer Paul Smith’s famous colorful and happy stripes, (which I’m forever drawn to….yes-pun intended). 

Make your own striped vases using empty milk cartons and Sharpie Twin Tip markers.  Cut the tops off, wrap with white masking tape and stripe away!
