I never let these thoughts take up too much space in my brain before I close my eyes and envision a room just as this... A breezy, clutter free, escape bathed in white linen with little splashes of tropical color. Yes, one day all this selling of travel will pay off and I will have my own little private escape. In the meatime, thank goodness for sources such as Coastal Living and their lovely little collections of rooms just like this:

The luxurious Round Hill is home to many designer villas. After all, Ralph Lauren owns a home here and played a part in the decor of the common areas so the property is synonymous with classic island style. Surely to impress, is this lovely villa decorated by Meg Braff, featured in Coastal Living, and first spotted by Moi, right here. {her smart little remarks fill you with a "be here now" moment or two}
If ever you should lose me and wonder where I am... if only.
