A retreat for mom – 5 ideas she’ll love

Forgot the flowers and chocolates (well, maybe not the chocolates). The most requested gift for Mother’s Day this year?
Time alone. From new moms to great-great grandmas to dog moms, every woman needs a space to call her own.
Here are five ideas for the ultimate escape, indoors and out.

1. Breakfast in Bed

There’s nothing better than waking up to the smell of coffee, especially when someone else makes it. May we also
suggest some eggs Benedict, a bowl of fresh berries and a fizzy blood orange mimosa?

Enjoy a leisurely breakfast – and some peace and quiet – in the privacy of your own room with our Halston Bed.
Made for serious lounging, the padded headboard is styled with sheltering wings, diamond button tufting and
delicate nailhead trim for a tailored touch.

Note to self: Make sure to remind the chef to clean up the kitchen when they’re done.

2. Read the Room

A reading nook invites relaxation and renewal, whether you’re getting lost in the pages of the latest bestseller, working
on a crossword puzzle from The New York Times or even enjoying an at-home spa day. The best part? You don’t even
have to dedicate an entire room. You can set up space just about anywhere. All you need is a comfy chair, a side table
and a bookcase.

Wrapped in luxe leather, our Power Arm Chair invites you to kick back and put your feet up with just the touch of a
button. Pair with our Chairside Table that tucks in just about anywhere and is always close at hand to hold a cup
of tea (or wine).

Crafted of alder veneers with visible knots in a grey mink finish, our Burnham Bookcase takes a soft approach to modern
design. Four fixed wood-framed glass shelves provide plenty of space for literary greats, with room left over for decorative
objects. 

A detail we love: A puck light at the top of the bookcase with a 3-intensity touch switch to showcase your treasured tomes.

3. Get Crafty

Whether you’ve mastered the art of gift-wrapping or dabbled in watercolor paintings that would make Georgia O’Keeffe
proud, tapping into your inner creative lets you express yourself while showing off your talents. Not only is it good for
the soul, but it’s also just plain fun.

The key to crafting is pieces of furniture that serve multiple purposes, like our Kinsley Console. Baskets below are
perfect for keeping everything from skeins of yarn to fabric squares hidden in plain sight, while two drawers up top
can hold smaller supplies like scissors and glue guns.

At the center, a hardworking table like this is a must-have for an artfully organized crafter’s haven. Sleek, simple
and unencumbered, it grounds your space while providing ample room to get down to business. 

Pro tip: Tension rods can be installed just about anywhere (think hutch and closet) to hold rolls of wrapping
paper and ribbon.

4. She Said, She Shed

No one can resist the allure of a she shed – even those who love their man cave. Imagine a place where you can
hide out that’s off-limits to the rest of the crew. And you can decorate it exactly the way you like without worrying
about it becoming overly frilly or not matching the design aesthetic in the rest of your home.

So, what are the key components of this little slice of heaven? Anything your heart desires. Of course, the first order
of business is to invest in a piece of furniture that invites relaxation, like our Siesta Key Sofa. With clean lines and a
single seat cushion, its simple silhouette suits small spaces.

Decorative touches like our Oval Accent Mirror (above) offer a great way to add a little texture while amplifying your space.
The looking glass is framed in walnut veneer that’s lightly sandblasted for organic appeal, then finished in a gorgeous
champagne silver for a luxe touch.

Hint: Consider investing in a sleeper sofa for afternoon naps and overnight guests.

5. Ladies Who Lounge

Who says a retreat must be inside? Escape to the great outdoors and bask in the Florida sunshine for a daily dose of
vitamin D along with a little me time.

Whether soaking up the sun poolside or lounging in your patio with a stack of magazines close by, this Chaise offers
the perfect angle of repose. Woven rope in shades of taupe and white atop a teak base brings a touch of texture to the
design.

Room for Two: In the mood for company? We recommend our Double Daybed, with a slatted teak frame and comfy,
sink-in cushions.

Destined to become your favorite sidekick, our Loom Accent Table matches back to the chaise and is set at the perfect
height to hold your favorite reads or 5 o’clock cocktail.
