Silver Birch Candle.
I’m envisioning a fireplace full of these Silver Birch Candles. Or a mantle. Or a dining room table. Wherever they land, they’re sure to make a pretty statement.

Light Living.
The show-stopper in this light-filled living room is that rose hued sofa. That’s right sofa, not couch. The tapered legs and architectural design automatically put it into the former category. I love that it’s the only bit of color in the room, while all the white draws your attention directly into its grasp. I’ve only recently been turned on to curtains being hung at ceiling level as opposed to the top of the window casing. And this is the perfect example of how that sort of treatment can make a room feel that much bigger. What else can I say? The poof-like stools that are all similar but with different designs, the structurally simple coffee table… when can I move in?

On the Rocks: Strawberry Basil Mojito.
Ideally I would mix up a pitcher of these Strawberry Basil Mojitos and sit in my backyard with a few friends chatting until the sun was long past set. In reality it will probably be me sitting in my living room with the AC blasting and watching The Bachelorette or Wipeout. The only constant: the cocktail of course!
Ingredients:
– 3 fresh strawberries
– 3-5 fresh basil leaves
– 2 oz. simple syrup
– 2 oz. white rum
– crushed ice
– club soda
Slice the strawberries and place at the bottom of a tall glass along with the basil leaves. Pour in the simple syrup and muddle the mixture. Stir in the rum and top with crushed ice. Top off with club soda and garnish with strawberry slices.

The Daily Eat: Strawberry Mascarpone Scones.
One – or five – of these Strawberry Mascarpone Scones with Honey Milk Glaze would go oh-so-nicely with the steaming mug of coffee that’s sitting in front me at the moment. Anyone have one to spare? Pretty please?
