A Summer to Fall transition is the perfect time to experiment with alternatives to outdoor entertaining, like an elegant indoor picnic. Matthew David Hopkins, Creative Director of 360 Design Events, insists it's the best way to meld the laid-back feel of outdoor entertaining with the glamour of indoor dining. Impressed by his stunning Indian-inspired picnic spread, we grilled him on the details for getting the look.
CS: Is it possible for most home entertainers to pull together an indoor picnic from their own closets and cabinets?
MH: Start with the place settings. Likely, you can find most of the elements in your own kitchen cabinets. Wine glasses, silverware, napkins, trays, and votive candles (for romance) all add to the look. Choose a mix of special and everyday items.
Add metallic flair with these Antiqued Tapered Votive Holders ($18 for a set of 6).
CS: What's one unexpected item someone should use for an indoor picnic?
MH: In picking out the blanket, you might think — it's going on the floor (or ground) so it shouldn't be too nice. Switch up that thinking and go for the opposite. I have this great tapestry I found in India years ago. My Mom always said, "Why have things if you don't use them?" And that stuck with me. The blanket is the biggest opportunity to make an impression here — so go for it!

This is one of those rooms that seemed to take forever to finally finish — that is, if I ever really thought any of my rooms were actually finished!
We moved into our new home a few years ago, and I knew one of the first projects I wanted to tackle was my laundry room. Other than a utility sink that was falling apart, the room was empty.
Here's a little corner of the room. Notice the two-toned paint treatment that didn't match the walls.
Here's the corner now . . .

Jennifer Jones of Niche Interiors recently shared two bathroom remodels her firm completed in a San Francisco Victorian, and the results are truly impressive.
