Out of the Park

Almost everyone is familiar with The Parker's retro-perfect interior, lush and layered exterior, and cheeky reputation. Recently, my sweet friend had the pleasure of being their guest and immediately emailed photos containing Parker sights I have yet to see. All proving that designer Jonathan Adler knocks it out of the park with his impeccable, over-the-top details and quirky objects d'art lurking in every corner.

An old world gate surrounded by verdant greens—a definite showstopper!


This poolside wooden horse would have my undivided attention.


I've seen the Lemonade Stand's umbrellas in numerous photos, but I never noticed the crisp white tassels hanging from each indentation.


I love the preppy clean feel of this spa locker room, but the porthole window is the best part!

that gate reminds me of one of my favorite childhood books, the secret garden!

I love the spa locker room, I am a sucker for spas, what can I say.

Okay, you MUST tell me where you got your pink helmet for the Vespa. I just have a plain black one but need a pink one STAT!
Thanks!

Carrie: It's a Nolan helmet and I had originally ordered the lava grey color. When I went to pick it up, they had a matte light pink and I swooned. I'm not even a pink sort of girl, but perhaps I'm changing :) Here's a link to find it: http://www.nolanhelmets.com/n30.htm

Awesome, thanks! I actually do need a helmet with a full face shield, I am not a fan of all the bugs hitting me in the face. And this one def has a speed racer vibe to it!

I just adore that big gate. My favorite part of the Parker, however, is the fire pit in the garden with all of the butterfly chairs surrounding it. I just found your blog, by the way and I LOVE it!!
