With the start of fall we've reflected on some of our favorite summer highlights! We must say, hands down it was setting sail in Alaska with Anne and David Sutherland of Perennials and Sutherland, two long-time leaders in luxury interior design materials. After decades of a wonderful partnership, they generously invited us to explore The Last Frontier aboard their beautiful vessel. It's always the best when colleagues become companions, and we were just that when exploring this destination. We couldn't have had better hosts to take us on this chilly yet eye-opening adventure.
This was our first time in Alaska, and there was plenty to see. From whales, seals, and tortoises to icebergs with all shades of blue. Shocked by the natural world, this flipped our perspective and got us looking into a whole new coastal interior design inspiration. We loved fishing, playing cards, and enjoyed many laughs. Although it was a close call, we concluded that Allison is definitely the best at fishing. We even learned some new facts! Alaska is the largest rainforest in the nation—who knew?
Anne and David have been our friends for quite some time, and it has been a joy to get to know them and their team for many years. There is so much mutual respect, and it has only grown. Ever since our return from sea, we've been diving into new interior design projects and couldn’t help ourselves from placing an order on “Homespun,” a Perennials performance fabric we can't get enough of!
