In this video, I’m walking you through my favorite part of Pottery Barn’s Summer Lookbook—“Veranda.” As an interior designer, I love this collection because it’s relaxed yet refined, and it’s built on such a classic mix: gingham and florals, crisp whites, lots of woven texture, and those pale washes of yellow, green, and blue. I let you enjoy the lookbook first (with beautiful, relaxing music), and then we meet back up to talk about how to recreate the feeling at home without the splurge. After the lookbook, I share my best “get the look for less” finds—starting with the least expensive way to bring in that Veranda vibe: realistic palm fronds from Michaels. I also found woven wall-vase alternatives to Pottery Barn’s $129 versions (because most of us would want two, and that adds up fast). Then I get into smart swaps for that breezy bedroom look, including a trundle/daybed option that’s so handy for a guest room, plus bedding and accessories that capture the same tailored summer charm. I even talk about grass cloth wallpaper—because texture is timeless—and how to get a similar look in a more livable, less-committed color.
