Adore May 2021

With a beautifully designed landscape, the family lives outdoors as much as possible in April and May. "It's a no TV household during the week. We like to have a glass of wine on the side patio while the kids run around and the swimming pool is 14 feet deep, so it sees some serious diving competitions." Another side yard right off of the kitchen acts as a dining room almost nightly. "Stirling is an excellent cook and I love to set casual tables mixing interesting textiles and colorful glassware." She uses traditional hand embroidered Suzanis as table covers, ikat dinner napkins, and hand painted ceramics from her shop. The needlework is exquisite, the colors so rich, and I love the carefree vibe that comes from tossing handmade things together in effortless ways. "I adore the craftsmanship of Suzanis," says Emily. "I layer them over rugs, drape them over chairs and cherish them as the works of art that they are." With summer here and the kids out of school, the Morrisons are spending as much time as possible enjoying life on the Avenue with family and friends.
