Shopping Trip: Provincetown’s South Stream Design

There’s a new home design boutique in Provincetown. There’s no name on the outside, but the hang tags on the items say South Stream Design Christian Soderstrom. I think he may be an interior designer. I chatted with him briefly on Memorial Day weekend, but it was their first day and things were busy. The shop is enchanting, mixing home accessories with garden ornaments (new, old, and reproductions). The prices are extremely reasonable and I was excited to see he Cavern wallpaper on two of the walls – he even sells it. I picked up a cute garden bunny for my friend Tanya, since she and Rob were making one of their fabulous brunches for us the next morning. The photos I took didn’t come out very well, so I went back last week and shot a few more. And brought home a garden fairy for myself this time.

A few if these items are “green.” The rest are simply green, in the old fashioned sense, like, you know, the color. I adore them all.

Covet: Green Chandelier

A nice note from Caroline Morson, owner of über upscale contemporary, but ever tasteful furniture showroom The Morson Collection in Boston:

“I was just reading on your blog all about your enthusiasm for green and thought you might enjoy this incredible chandelier from Barovier and Tosso. They are the oldest still family owned
hand blown glass factory in the isle of Murano. They are 700 years old and counting…that’s 20 generations! It comes in many different sizes and crystal colors, but this one is just
dreamy…”

Montage: 40 Green Rooms

The rain is finally gone, and everything is green. And, green happens to be one of my favorite colors. My living room is green in Boston, I’m about to paint my bedroom green, and my study on the Cape is green. I didn’t actually include any pictures of them here, but there are plenty of others for you. Enj0y!
