Late Summer Projects and the Ultimate Barcelona Apartment: Style Showcase
Welcome to the first August edition of Style Showcase. August is my favorite month because most of the vegetables out in the garden are ready to be harvested at some point and that means canning tomatoes for winter’s use. The nights are also a bit cooler so you can sleep with the windows open without roasting. Keep scrolling to see what’s in store for the beginning of this month’s ideas and inspiration.

Do you love to travel and see how others live? Today I’m sharing a tour of a romantic Barcelona apartment complete with a wonderful balcony with great city views.

Enjoy the rest of your week! I plan to head to the beach on Friday to make it feel like I’m still on vacation!
