We are in the process of updating our little Hampton’s cottage. There’s good energy in them there halls. Really. There is something about the house that is comforting and quiet. I convinced myself and then my husband to trust me to update the home into a mix of Midcentury Modern and Bayside Hamptons, which I think is turning out to be a mix of a whites, off-whites and beige; splashes of black for dramatic effect; lots of Midcentury wooden furniture; and, colorful prints and photographs. We’ll update BohoMamma soon with photographs. In other words, a more modern update to country.
But engaging in new paint and lighting fixtures, rugs, sofas and chairs, has led me to images of country brunches. Since I try (I said try) to reserve the weekend for family activities, when we travel to the Hamptons on the weekend, I can think about the meals we make and the way I want the table to look. It’s the setting for life and conversation.
These are some of our favorite finds for a Country Lunch.
