Set against an opulent backdrop of caviar-like pearl glass bead and gold leaf wallcovering, a bold and sizzling summer palette signals summer full on. Richly ripe fruit and floral hues relate summer themes, and a fifty-two inch diameter Christopher Guy mirror mimics the sun's glory. Curated accessories in pops of white amid photographs of nude bathers clearly gesture summer. The bright pinks and fuchsias in internationally-acclaimed artist Paul Thomas' works pay homage to Holiday House, a spectacular annual tradition supporting life-saving breast cancer research while celebrating the best in interior design.

Modern glamour design elements inspired by the headiest day of the year betray the luxe life played out within these walls. Is this the Mykonian seaside villa of glamourette Daphne Guiness, the Ibiza garconniere of the late international style arbiter Gianni Versace or perhaps Elton John's Cote d'Azur summerhouse? Who wouldn't feel like a star curled up on the couture upholstered open arm chair catching up on Summer 2013 issues of Trad Home and sipping chilled rose?
