Swim - art - eat - repeat. The summer dream inspiring all my marks in the studio this morning. What a treasure it is to live such a salty, vibrant life I get to fuel my work with everyday XO Kristen

Summer rhythms are in full swing. Long lunches that become longer conversations dotted with laughter and inspiration. Salt on your skin after a swim. Linen left in the sun. Aperol before dinner. A ceramic vase found in a tiny shop years ago. A painting that catches the late afternoon light just so.

I’ve always loved the idea that collecting isn’t something we do all at once. It happens slowly, almost accidentally. A piece discovered on holiday. A photograph picked up at a market. A painting that reminds you of a particular season of your life.

Little by little, these beautiful things become the backdrop to our everyday moments until we can’t quite imagine home without them.

Perhaps that’s why summer feels like such a natural time to collect. It’s a time of paying attention, wandering more slowly, we’re noticing beauty again.

This week’s Treasure Auction, The Golden Hour edition, is, in many ways, a celebration of that feeling. A collection of paintings, ceramics, found objects, and pieces that have been part of my own world, now ready to become part of someone else’s.

The collection is now live. I hope you’ll pour yourself something cold, take your time, and wander through it as you would a favorite little gallery on holiday. Or better yet, let’s meet up in Newport. XO Kristen

The art of living beautifully is a gift. The ability to notice beauty can be cultivated. It begins by paying attention to the details that make all the difference between a life that simply passes by and one saturated with color, beauty and sweet love.

Friendships become richer. Ordinary errands become treasured memories. A bouquet from the garden, a swim before breakfast, a museum visit or even the grocery store become opportunities to discover something unexpected.

For me, curiosity has always been the starting point. Over time that curiosity became an eye. And that eye became one of the greatest gifts I have to offer - whether I’m painting, designing a home, sourcing a beautiful object or simply sharing something that stopped me in my tracks. The wonderful thing is that this way of seeing belongs to all of us. Once you begin to notice, you’ll never look at the world the same way. If you spend time here, Kristen Coates perhaps you’ll begin to notice what I notice and your own life will feel a bit more beautiful because of it.
