yet another naples update

Design & Decor

Jun 4

This is only my sixth post for 2019, and half of the six posts I've done have been pics of the condo renovation in Naples. I mean, it's June. I really need to step up my game on the blog!

My main excuse is instagram. I post on my instagram stories what I used to write blogposts about. (Follow me here: @thefrenchtangerine)

I had planned to do a post on my patio and garden, but after the hail storm, my yard looks like a disaster. All the hydrangea bushes look like asparagus stalks. I think we will just cut them down and call it the summer of the hail storm. I don't even want to think about it.

I do have some good posts coming up! And even a new and improved look for the blog! So stay with me!

Meanwhile, in Naples...

The dust skirt was finished in the Master bedroom and I really love it...

And the pillows...

Why is it so hard for me to resist bed pillows?

Wallpaper going up this summer in both bathrooms... I can't wait to get wallpaper behind this tub!

Here's the wallpaper for this bathroom:

I was originally going to do the wallpaper below, but waited until we got moved in, and I'm glad I did. I guess I'm just not as brave as I thought I was. I adore this wallpaper and think it could be amazing, but in the end, I decided to keep it more neutral.

Imagine the wallpaper options behind this chair and behind the tub above. Can. Not. Wait.

This bench and a matching pillow were added to the mix.

I adore this lavender Quadrille fabric!

I need a light fixture for the kitchen...

We tried to lose that weird column on the island, but it is absolutely necessary as it houses plumbing that cannot be relocated. So I just hung some intaglios and called it a day... Pick your battles.
