WELCOME LETTER
E ARE delighted to introduce the Spring/Summer issue of Elliman magazine. These blissful, sun-drenched months are the ideal time of year to follow Ralph Waldo Emerson’s advice and “Live in the sunshine. Swim in the sea. Drink in the wild air.” Enjoying the great outdoors does more than make us happy. Studies show that spending time basking in the warm spring breezes and soaking up the summer sunshine fuels our creativity and makes us more open to new ideas and growth in our own lives. In that spirit, we have filled this issue with potential sources of inspiration for you. We invite you to explore today’s most exciting new lifestyle trends. Find out about the new fashion for high-end hotel living. In the grand tradition of Coco Chanel, Eloise, and Cole Porter, you can check into a legendary icon such as the Waldorf Astoria—and never have to check out again (“Permanent Vacation,” p. 18). Or discover the romantic appeal of owning a private island. You can find them for sale wherever you find water—and, believe it or not, many cost less than a townhouse in London (“How to Buy Your Own Island,” p. 268). If you prefer a second residence complete with golf courses and gourmet restaurants, you won’t want to

miss our exclusive report on the new wave of private residential clubs like Dutchess County, New York’s Silo Ridge, where nostalgic pastimes meet world-class services (“Welcome to the Club,” p. 278). Then again, relocating might not be on your immediate to-do list. Maybe you would prefer to spend this spring and summer sprucing up your own home. We have plenty of ideas to help there, too. Find out from one of New York’s most celebrated florists how to create an arrangement worthy of the poshest hotel lobby (“Flower Power,” p. 5). Or experiment with chic new removable wallpapers that let you change a room’s decor in seconds (“Wall Coverings Make a Comeback,” p. 10). Another option: Update your home with a few splashes of Pantone’s color of the year, Classic Blue (“Rhapsody in Blue,” p. 13). We are partial to blue, so we could not be more pleased by their choice. The Color Institute selected this shade because it instills confidence and dependability, values that we at Douglas Elliman pride ourselves on espousing. Classic Blue also evokes the expansiveness of calm seas and evening skies, inviting us to expand our perspective and think imaginatively. We hope this issue will inspire you to do the same.
