WEEKEND LIVING: ONE HOT SUMMER
BRANCHING OUT UNDER WATER -- Page 34
Coral is a classic emblem of summer living. This season is no exception. Add a whimsical touch to your table setting with coral-branch napkin rings, salad servers or a coral printed platter. Because harvesting coral destroys fragile reefs, conservation-minded companies offer artificial coral – so feel free to pile them atop a glass tray or march them down the center of a luncheon table. Also, paper lanterns, wall hooks, fabric and throw pillows in coral designs bring the ‘ying and yang of nature’ into your home this summer.
MOVIES AT MEREDITH VIERA’S -- Page 48
Whether she’s weeping (again) through Wizard of Oz or indulging in the guilty pleasures of Desperate Housewives, the new Today Show co-host Meredith Vieira loves her just-completed home theater. Vieira shares her view on the best movies and Traditional Home lets you in on the sleek state-of-the-art technology needed to create your own cinematic oasis – it’s easier than you think!
A GARDEN PARTY FOR THE BIRDS -- Page 52
Throw a garden party for our beautiful feathered friends – the hummingbird. Traditional Home shares flowers that will attract the hummers, as well as some feeders that are beauties of their own. Follow our tips for the perfect sugar water and ideal feeder placement to attract a whole flock of hhummingbirds.
CITY CHEF GOES COUNTRY -- Page 59
Chef Jean Joho spends time with family and friends in his country-house kitchen – both indoors and out. A much needed getaway spot (from his restaurants in Chicago, Boston and Las Vegas) in the rolling hills and meadows of southwest Michigan, Joho, the Franco-American chef, cooks up a summer party including Classic Alsatian Tart, Potato-Tomato Gratin, Brined and Grilled Porkchops and Poached Heirloom Pears.
DESTINATION DINING -- Page 70
The great outdoors offers a wealth of inspiration that can translate into color and textural ideas for your table. Outdoor settings as farflung as the Wild West or the ocean, – or as close as your garden – suggest themes that delight and stimulate with style, sophistication and a bit of whimsy.
OUTWARD BOUND -- Page 78
Outdoor living with indoor style. Forget utilitarian fabrics and serviceable stripes as you head outdoors and begin entertaining en plein air. Traditional Home showcases the best new outdoor fabrics, weather-resistant accents and ‘forget plastic’ furniture. Moroccan opulence and Venetian-style damasks? Check. Orientalist paisleys? Check. Fashion-forward color combinations? Yep. The latest outdoor furniture, fabrics and trims ingeniously combine easy maintenance with weather-ready style.
The June/July 2006 issue of Traditional Home is on newsstands now.
