Orange Burst
17 Pins
Orange Burst / Seen in the fiery burst of a poinciana tree and on the ripened skin of a mango, various shades of orange are in full bloom across the islands. Interrupting an otherwise lush green landscape, the vibrant hue signals the height of summer and has me inspired to corral a few of my favourite finds.
Capital Outpost
34 Pins
Capital Outpost / While we consider a larger home on our capital outpost, we corral these coastal finds with our next chapter in mind (no, we’re not pregnant, though I was beginning to question the island’s water). Layer-by-layer, floor-by-floor, we’ll slowly introduce ourselves to our new home, renovating room-to-room as we go. Here are some products-and-pictures to inspire our interiors.
Experience | The Exumas

Experience | The Exumas / A chain-within-the-chain of the out islands, this blue-hued Bahamian beauty is a fabled resting spot among boaters and beachcombers in search of secluded slips of sand.
Pineapple
50 Pins
Pineapple / Pineapple farming became a way of life on the island of Eleuthera in the mid 18th century. Elders tell stories of a time when more than sixty schooners would anxiously await, with idle masts, to fill their hulls heavy with the king of fruits. Then racing their trade to America and Europe, the first to arrive being paid top dollar. It’s a time now remembered at the annual Pineapple Festival, held the first weekend of June, each year, in the settlement of Gregory Town, Eleuthera, The Bahamas.
Experience | Eleuthera
46 Pins
Experience | Eleuthera / Robinson Crusoe’s retreat, here the record number of footprint-free beaches are interrupted by pineapple farms, untamed cotton fields, and the Glass Window Bridge, the island’s most recognized distinction.
Experience | The Abacos
30 Pins
Experience | The Abacos / A sailor’s sanctuary, this 120-mile-long-island-chain offers boaters a string of islands to snake through, all whilst in the protected arms of the Sea of Abaco.

Experience | Harbour Island
29 Pins
Experience | Harbour Island / Though most celebrated for its see-and-be-seen stretch of pink sand beach, this coastal culinary escape is equally deserving of being recognized for its quality of restaurants and variety of cuisine found on every corner, at every turn.

Eleuthera Escape
28 Pins
Eleuthera Escape / A wild idea. One guided by our shared desire to re-establish my family’s connection to Eleuthera, an island where my great-great-grandfather once farmed pineapples. Our intention: create an escape from New Providence, our bustling capital outpost. Build a home in which we can lead a decidedly different life.
