This weekend’s link roundup is about the special little somethings that make everything just a bit warmer, cooler, or generally more comfortable, beautiful and luxe. Since summer is upon us, everything’s got a certain sun-drenched, salt-blasted, summery sense of relaxation about it, just the way we prefer.
First up, One Kings Lane offers its Atlantic Accents shop, complete with all things coastal like the trio of deck lanterns from Esscher Design, above.
Next, Hipcycle lives up to its name with its series of upcycled Boylans ginger ale bottles rendered into summer-perfect soy candles — made even more perfect by virtue of the fact that through Bright Endeavors, the organization overseeing their production, proceeds from the $15 candles support training, mentoring, and permanent job placement for the young women who make them:
West Elm is hosting a blowout end-of-season sale this weekend, ideal for stocking up on summer essentials and extras like these stackable totem planters and other patio pieces:
You’ve got to have somewhere to kick your feet up when you retreat back into the air conditioning at the end of a long June weekend, so Furniture Fashion‘s done its part to round up ten classic round coffee tables for your consideration…
…and last but not least, Etsy shop ZeppiPrints has a bountiful array of nursery and kids’ room wall art, melding classic chevron and IKAT patterns with wildlife, nautical and other whimsical iconic imagery, perfect for adding a fun seasonal touch to Junior’s space.
Happy weekending!

I like the deck lanterns — they look perfect for adding some ambiance to a summer evening!
The ginger ale one just made me crave the drink- a perfect reminder on a hot day.
Thanks for the mention of the candles! We’re very proud of our partnership with Bright Endeavors. Yet another example of how we try to do business “the right way”:)
