Camp Craft Cocktails
Make Space THROUGHOUT 2020, our homes have taken on myriad roles: office, school, gym, restaurant. Now more than ever, our spaces need to be multifunctional, with an increased emphasis on storage, purposeful furniture and a bit of figurative breathing room. This year has been a challenge, and the list below will hopefully provide some solutions in your home.
A LOOKS-GOOD-ANYWHERE DESK.
I love the burled wood Made Goods desk that works in traditional and contemporary spaces. Simple lines and drawers make it the perfect desk for your new makeshift office. You know, the one in the family room. STYLISH EXTRA STORAGE. Whether
you have kids at home or are just in need of extra storage for all of your newly acquired quarantine reading, the wicker étagère at left from Amanda Lindroth is a stylish solution. I’d use it in a kids room to fill with organized baskets of school supplies, homework and coloring books.
A (MENTAL) VACATION. Thinking of travel more than ever, I’ve been stocking up on coffee table books. I’ve read Inside Tangier by author and interior designer Nicolò Castellini Baldissera cover to cover multiple times and am still dreaming of riads, pomegranates and tile. HOME BAR UPGRADES. Welcome to Savannah, have a drink. Alcohol sales are up, and the gourmet cocktail kit in a jar from Camp Craft Cocktails makes me feel like a mixologist. Bonus: It’s sold locally at Mamie Ruth | M.Liz Jewelry at 107 W. Liberty St.
ily at home 24/7, my house is scattered with everything from work reports to My Little Pony dolls. My very talented upholsterer makes custom storage ottomans for my clients with hidden castors (translation: easy to move around) and ample storage for all of the little things that get left behind; you can also find several options at Pottery Barn. I throw everything in at the end of the day, and voila! A clean room.
