As usual I was walking around town being a tourist taking in all the new retail spaces in Montauk. There is so much to look at and BUY this season! I have been wanting to update my younger daughter’s room. Typical of being a second child close behind the first I never really had time to decorate her room. The rug is from the living room, the pictures on the wall are moved around from other places in the house, and the paint was never refreshed. She keeps asking for a rainbow sparkle with hearts paint job. Sounds like a bad trip paint job to me.
As I was walking around, I came to Gansett Lane. This is their second season in Montauk. It is a wonderful home shop filled with all sorts of decorating pieces from gorgeous couches to VERY AFFORDABLE water goblets. There is quite an extensive section for kids. I immediately saw the remedy to my daughter’s blah room! A new woven cotton rug in pale aqua and lavender stripes! The best was it was only about $200 for a 6×9 rug. This is a steal for such a large rug. I quickly purchased it, brought it home, and put it down in place of the old one. WOW! What a wonderful difference. It made the room bright, fresh, and so beachy. We all love it. She did say that she was expecting a new paint job when I told her to go see the surprise in her room. Oh, well. Such is life with Little Ones!
Remember when your mom yelled at you for wearing too little? Or for wearing something see-through? Well it still applies! No one should see your undergarments, or lack there of, in public. When you bend over all should be covered. You are NOT Paris or Brittany. You are the stylish mother that everyone wants to be. You are effortlessly pulled together. Always cool, calm and collected. I know you are now laughing and saying, “Yeah, only when my kids are drugged on Benedril.”
You NEED summer wardrobe staples NOW.
