f there’s one decor trend that hits summer’s sweet spot,
it’s tropical style. Furnishings and accessories made of
tropical plant and tree fibers started to appear in the fall,
in modern vintage and midcentury pieces.
That trend has expanded
for spring and summer to
wall coverings, textiles and
rugs printed with imagery
drawn from the jungle,
beach and rainforest.
“I think it really took off
when design bloggers collectively rediscovered the iconic banana-palm wallpaper in
the Polo Lounge at the Beverly Hills Hotel,” says Joss
& Main’s style director Donna Garlough. (www.jossandmain.com)

“It’s
called
Martinique, and
it’s this huge,
oversize print
that makes a gigantic statement
and has a cool
Old Hollywood
vibe,” she says.
“It makes me
think of a ‘40s
starlet on vacation at glam resorts in Beverly
Hills or Miami.

and brass accents,
readers loved it.”
One fun aspect of tropical dÈcor is that you can interpret it
many ways — glamorous is one style, but there’s also island,
preppy or boho.
You may even have a little deja vu moment, says Garlough.
“There can be an element of late ‘70s/early ‘80s kitsch to
it,” she says. “I recently watched a rerun of ‘Golden Girls’ and
laughed my head off over all the tropical elements on that set
that have come back into vogue, from the rattan furniture to
the macrame plant hangers. Blanche even had that famous
palm wallpaper in her bedroom.”

Living with
Heirlooms
Don’t turn
down
family
keepsakes
By KATHERINE ROTH
Associated Press
In this age of minimalism
and decluttering, the common response to an offer of a
family heirloom or antique
might be, “I don’t have
space,” ‘’It’s not my taste,”
or simply “No thanks.”
Well, “pull yourself out of
that as fast as you can and
start saying yes,” urges Susan Sully of Charleston,
South Carolina, author of
“Past Present: Living with
Heirlooms and Antiques”
(The Monacelli Press,
2016).
Unless you find a piece really ugly, she says, just take
it.
“What’s so bad about temporarily having too much
stuff?” asks Sully. “The
worst is saying no and having lost the precious tangible
objects that tell the story of
your family or a place you
love.”
San Francisco decorator
Ken Fulk, designer chairman
of the New York Botanical
Garden’s Antique Garden
Furniture Fair, agrees: “No
room is complete without
something of age and provenance and character.”
And that show’s manager,
antiques dealer Karen DiSaia, describes heirlooms and
antiques as “the connective
tissue of life, offering a feeling of depth and history.”
The trick to blending old
and new in your home’s
decor is careful curating —
and keeping an open mind,
says Sully.
Her book is packed with
photos and descriptions of
20 homes around the country, from a converted fire station to farmhouses to elegant
city dwellings. She offers
tips on displaying odd collections, setting inviting tables, arranging tabletop
compositions, and bringing
together objects from different styles and periods.
“Start by dropping all your
preconceptions about what
goes with what. Just put
things together and see what
happens,” she advises.
“Then rearrange them a few
different ways and look at it
all again. You might have
two pairs of completely different chairs, but put them

With Heirlooms

doesn’t look like a
together and you might be
surprised.”
Create what Sully calls an
“anchor lineup” and then
have fun curating the small
stuff: “You don’t need a lot
of things in each room —
just a few great pieces that
converse with each other.
Start with an uncluttered, interesting foundation, with
one or two interesting, eyecatching pieces in each room
that are there to stay. Then
you can start a rotating exhibit of vases and lamps and
oddments.”
The book includes the dining room of a Federal Revival home in Birmingham,
Alabama, where a wall lined
with gilded, leather-bound
books and two sleek contem-
porary glass vases adds a
warm yet airy backdrop for a
heavy, dark-stained English
library table. It’s surrounded
by light-colored Hepplewhite-style dining chairs beneath an ornate Italian chandelier.
The parlor area in an 1880
home in San Antonio, Texas,
features high Victorian detail
and white furniture juxtaposed with strong colors in a
series of Josef Albers
lithographs. They share a
corner with a small pile of
painted wooden cubes found
in an antique shop.
“I’ve always been interested in having at least one
modern piece of furniture or
contemporary painting in
each room, so the house
museum,” said the homeowner, banker and art collector Carl Groos.
Even for space-challenged
apartment dwellers, antiques
hold an important place.
After downsizing from a
large home to a much smaller condominium, Atlanta antique collectors Stephanie
and Bill Reeves grouped together portraits that had been
displayed throughout their
house.
“We displayed the portraits as if they were in a bigger room,” Bill Reeves explains. “As a result, the
space looks bigger.”

Lamb chorba a classic soup/stew
By KATIE WORKMAN
Associated Press
Truth: What I knew about
Ramadan and the foods that
are eaten to break the fast
previously could have fit in a
grain of millet. But it’s never
too late to learn, and nothing
makes a culture more accessible than delving into its
food.
One of the foods commonly eaten to break the fast is
chorba, which means soup in
Arabic. And like soups,
chorbas can be made in infinite ways, though most often
chorba is associated with a
hearty Moroccan soup made
from vegetables and chickpeas, usually with diced
lamb and some sort of pasta
or grain.
Chorba is made all over
the Middle East, Europe,
Northern Africa and other
regions. The vegetables
vary, the spices vary, the
meat varies. It’s one of those
many dishes that has crossed
many borders and morphed
along with way.
I decided to use lamb, the
classic meat for this
soup/stew, and millet as the
grain, which holds up nicely
in soups and stews, retaining
its texture and shape. Harissa
is used in cooking and as a
condiment by Moroccans, as
well as other cultures, and
it’s a wonderfully spiced
chili paste that adds heat and
complexity to all kinds of
dishes.
So while I don’t know a lot
about Ramadan, I know
more than I did a week ago. I
also know that my family is
not going to be sorry to see
this soup appear on the table
again, any time of year.
LAMB CHORBA
If you can’t find harissa,
substitute sun-dried tomato
pesto with a splash of hot
sauce to approximate it.
Start to finish: 45 minutes
Servings: 6
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound boneless lamb
shoulder, trimmed and cut
into 3/4-inch pieces
1 large yellow onion,
chopped
2 stalks celery, chopped
2
medium
carrots,
chopped
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
28-ounce can crushed
tomatoes, preferably fireroasted
1 quart low-sodium chicken broth or stock
1 tablespoon harissa
1/2 teaspoon saffron
threads
Two 15 1/2-ounce cans
chickpeas, drained and
rinsed
1/2 cup uncooked millet
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/4 cup chopped parsley
Kosher salt and ground
black pepper
In a large pot over medium-high, heat the oil. Add
the lamb, onion, celery and
carrots, then cook, stirring
occasionally, until the lamb
has lost most of its pinkness
on the outside and the vegetables are starting to soften,
about 10 minutes. Add the
cumin and coriander, then
stir until you can smell the
spices. Add the tomatoes,
broth, harissa, saffron and
chickpeas, then bring to a
simmer.
Add the millet and return
to a simmer. Simmer for 20
to 25 minutes, or until the
meat and millet are cooked
and tender. Stir in the lemon
juice and parsley, then cook
for another 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

Heirlooms from 1D
taupe, gold and brown allowed them to bring together
pieces from different continents and centuries in an elegant and understated way,
they said.
And don’t treat heirlooms
like stuffy museum pieces,
Sully advises. Instead, “take
what’s old and give it life
again by actually using it. ...
Allow heirlooms to relate to
the rest of the room. These
are beautiful things with stories to tell and history to
share.”
Use the fancy stemware
and silver.
“Life is short, and silver
only really tarnishes when
it’s unused. It wants to be
handled and washed. I handwash the knives, but throw
the rest in the dishwasher
and it looks great,” she says.

“If you mess it up, c’est la
vie. But making heirlooms a
part of your life adds depth
and character, and makes every day more glamorous.”

the lowest percentage since
the mid-1980s.
The number of available
homes fell 3.6 percent in
April, according to the National Association of Realtors.
“It remains a tough home
buying season for buyers,
with little inventory available
among lower-priced homes,”
Svenja
Gudell,
chief
economist at real estate data
firm Zillow. “The competition is locking out some firsttime buyers, who instead are
paying record-high rents.”
Even so, sales of existing
homes rose 1.7 percent in
April, the second straight increase, to an annual rate of
5.45 million.
Portland, Seattle and Denver saw the highest yearly
price gains. Prices rose 12.3
percent in Portland, 10.8 percent in Seattle, and 10 percent
in Denver. All three cities feature burgeoning technology
sectors and strong job gains.
Prices rose in all 20 cities,
but at a slower pace in the
Northeast and Midwest. The
cities with the smallest yearover-year increases were
Washington, D.C., Chicago,
New York and Cleveland.
A revived housing market is
helping fuel faster economic
growth. Sales of new homes
jumped to their highest level
in eight years in April, and
home construction has also
increased.
The economy is picking up
after a dismal start to the year.
Americans stepped up their
spending in April at the
fastest pace in six years, the
government said Tuesday.
The Federal Reserve Bank of
Atlanta now expects growth
to reach 2.9 percent at an annual rate in the April-June
quarter, up from just 0.8 percent in the first three months
of the year.
Mortgage rates remain at
historical lows: A 30-year
fixed rate mortgage averaged
just 3.64 percent last week.

home prices kept climbing in
March as the spring home
buying season began, but so
far the higher costs haven’t
thwarted sales.
The
Standard
&
Poor’s/Case-Shiller 20-city
home price index increased
5.4 percent in March compared with a year earlier, according to a report released
Tuesday. That is the same annual gain as in February.
Solid job growth, modest increases in wages and salaries,
and low mortgage rates are fueling Americans’ willingness
to buy homes. Yet there is also
a limited supply of homes on
the market, which pushes up
prices.
David Blitzer, chairman of
the S&P index committee,
said the number of homes on
the market is equal to less than
2 percent of U.S. households,
