What's Read, White & Navy? | Slipcovers for Your Walls

It’s July 1st already and we’re getting ready to celebrate the Fourth of July! Therein the question, “What’s Read, White and Navy?” Well, our American Flag of course is red, white and blue, but so is the upcoming July 15th issue of Hamptons Cottages & Gardens, read all over that is. They have kicked off this year’s Holiday House Hamptons with their All White Garden Party. Here are a few party pics:

Where noted for photography credit, the descriptive wording associated with each photo is also from Tamara Matthews-Stephenson (provided as screen shots from her post, with her wording intact as part of the photo). A shout out thanks to Tamara for enabling us to use the majority of this information, for we wish we could have been there in person. Luckily she was, so please hop on over to her blog to see many more pictures than we have provided here and read about even more designers on her post.

Marshall Watson’s Swedish Summer Solstice theme is pretty dreamy with quotes from Shakespeare’s Midsummer Night’s Dream on the walls.

And now for Navy…

Remember Libby’s before space? Well, this is the way before — before the railing of her upper gallery space and panels were even built. How scary would it be to go up these stairs?!

Libby chose Navy Day as her holiday theme. This is why in her own words:

Since this is the first Holiday House Hamptons I wanted to echo design looks and styles that I find people are drawn to when they are decorating their homes on the East End of Long Island. I love the fresh combo of navy blue and white and I find that most people love various shades of blue and find it to be an approachable color that they will want to live with for a long time. My Chosen Holiday is “Navy Day” which was established on October 27th 1922 by the Navy League of the United States. For so many of us that live here, being out on the water and experiencing the coastline is what allows us to feel like we get to escape our regular lives to enjoy something simple and special that feeds us. I feel so lucky to be a resident of this amazing community and call the East End of Long Island my home! I’m excited to share some fun and fabulous ideas on how to achieve a super stylish and fresh Hampton’s look working with the themes that come from Navy Day. Navy blue, crisp white and classic water photographs will paint the picture of what I want to live in, in Bridgehampton. I’m super excited to showcase my rug runners that are from my collection for Tiger Rug, it’s fun to see them as runners because usually the pattern is shown in a traditional size but I love that I can get any pattern custom made in any color. I’m visualizing the long upstairs hallway/ balcony as more of a “gallery” than a hallway; a hallway is often times a forgotten space and a gallery feels like a special space. Wallpaper often adds a WOW factor, but its permanence can be intimidating to many; here at the Holiday House Hamptons I am excited to debut my re-usable wallcoverings that I designed with Casart Coverings. They can be repositioned or removed with no greater effort than used to pull back a sticker! And I am thrilled to complement the wallcovering design with a runner from my collection for Tiger Rug. These customizable rugs can be done in any color and size – and without a long lead time! My wallcoverings and rugs – were designed with the same foundation as my furniture: elegance does not have to be sacrificed for comfort and ease.
