The Solstice Salon Solstice comes from the Latin Sol (Sun) and Sistene (stand still). The solstice is the seasonal movement when the earth’s journey around the sun comes to a stop before reversing. This produces both the longest day, in the summer, and the shortest day, in the winter. Many ancient cultures have celebrated the winter and summer solstices and equinoxes. I am celebrating it in Cape May where the movement of the sun, moon, ocean, and the change of seasons are the most vibrant. The Solstice Salon expounds on the feeling of peace in the place where time stands still for the moment, before circling back. Take a moment to wonder at the sea and the stars and the comforting dependability of the planet we inhabit.

practical, unpredictable and beautiful. In 2012, Viviane opened White, her stylish boutique and design studio on historic Hughes Street in Cape May which offers a range of unique home fur-nishings, gifts and jewelry. In the shop, Viviane boasts an exclusive selection of artisanal jewelry and furnishings from around the world. Viviane has participated in multiple show homes and is featured in publica-tions for her notable residential projects as well as local commercial projects, most recently the Peter Shields Inn and the Island Grill.

POWDER ROOM: CHINESE NEW YEAR

Let the Celebration Begin...

Turquoise confetti-shaped glass floor tile was the inspiration for this space. The natural soapstone-beaded chandelier is strung like a pair of Buddhist prayer beads, known to the Asian culture for protection from negative energy and for relieving stress. The powder room was designed to have the simplicity and harmony of an Asian feel with a sea and sand color palette . Good fortune will come to guests who visit this small Zen and peaceful space.

HAPPY ARBOR DAY …..Lying on a span of grass under a majestic Oak enjoying the day’s breezes … Gazing onto a forest of abundant pines as the sun gleams through at day’s dusk … Running fingers through a patch of fresh fallen leaves when nature enters its time of Fall rest. Moments. Experiences. Moods. It is these that capture what we become, how we see, where we land, who we are!! It is a connection to Nature that is intrinsic in each of us as we cross the paths and junctures of Life’s Journeys. Neither to be denied nor to be ignored. Open up Hearts, Souls, Eyes, Minds… and SEE with each sense as Nature speaks loudly and clearly for us to saturate our essence. ARBOR DAY is a Celebration of Acknowledgement and of Reverence to the growing natural world surrounding us. It holds answers, questions, results, inquiries. It encompasses us as we allow it, most times by unavoidable yet gentle force. Open yourself to the Power of the Natural World… Plant A Tree, Sow A Seed… Get the fingers of your soul dirtied with the beautifully raw growth of Earth. ARBOR DAY is a Celebration of Moments that speaks volumes of our Natural Being. Enjoy the Journey that Joseph Design places before you. Let yourself go & allow the creation by our hands to express to you an extension of the creation of the Heavens… Give your Nature Journey a growing start HERE at The Arbor Parlor!!!

But if it did…what would her relaxing space look like?Dragonfly Interiors chose to celebrate the Mother’s Day holiday by offer-ing up our version of what a relaxing retreat for Mom could be. Since we were starting within the framework of a Victorian seaside resort home, the word ‘elegant’ came to mind and inspired us to bring in rich fabrics and beautiful color. Not all seaside spaces call for pale aqua or nautical navy. In this case, we saw an application for what some might consider to be the unusual combination of shades of purples and browns. Both the homeowner and I had an immediate reaction of ‘delight’ when we viewed the fabric used for the window drapery…see if you do, too! This, along with the remaining elements in the room, were brought together with Mom in mind…and her secret hope that maybe she can sneak away…even for an hour…in her own oasis of feminine luxury.

Elegance & Comfortin Small Spaces

The Creative Touch Home Stag-ers, co-owned by Accredited Staging Professionals and Licensed New Jersey Reators, Shirley “Becki” Wilson and Harriet Wilson Walcott, serves the South Jersey area, while offering e-con-sultations to the tri-state areas of New Jersey, New York and Philadelphia.

Home Staging is the art of preparing a home visually to appeal to prospective buyers and is considered an indispens-able marketing tool. We strive to assist our fellows Realtors and their custom-ers and clients, as well as ‘for sale by owners,’ maximizing the profits that oftentimes lie hidden in the home.

Home staging is different from interior decorating. The design of spaces uses company-owned inventory enhanced by pieces from local retail furniture showrooms. This comfortable area of the Show House has been staged with the stay-over guest in mind and will not only offer a comfortable night’s rest, but also a place to relax in front of the fireplace while watching television and stepping a bit further to have a breakfast repast in the sitting area. In keeping with the Victorian charm of the building, and our Earth Day theme for this space, The Creative Touch Home Stagers have com-bined the colors of Mother Earth to create a cerebral and comfortable feeling while maintaining the authenticity of the Cape May flavor.

Gray is everywhere. The neutral color makes it great for any space in your house, and it complements any accent color you choose!

The small details make a big impact. Add a geometric mosiac design to your kitchen or the bathroom (or both!). This design trend is de�nitely here to stay.

Is that wood you’re seeing? Maybe. But, it may also be the increasingly popular porcerline and cermic tiles that look like wood. This �ooring is easier to maintain but still gives you the beauty of hardwood.

Prints. Fabrics. Metals. You name it, it’s time to get creative and mix and match in ways you’ve never thought to before.

kitchen cabinets, bathroom cabinets, wallpaper, furniture, tile, flooring, plumbing, interior design and more

At Le Rêve Designs, we have all the tools you need to turn your dream home into a reality. From design to products to installation, we are a one-stop-shop for your home design projects. Stop by our showroom in Rio Grande, and let us help you bring one or all of these trends into your home.

Living space is not con�ned to the inside of your house. It’s time to follow suit and make the outdoors as comfortable and as designed as the inside of your home.

MAC was formed in September 1970 at a critical juncture in Cape May’s history, when historic preservationists banded to-gether to save the landmark 1879 Emlen Physick Estate (with its mansion and out-buildings, vacant and vandalized, on eight overgrown acres) from being bulldozed to make way for tract housing. MAC’s leaders mounted a political revolution to achieve their goals. Running on a platform of quality of life and historic preservation, Bruce Minnix, one of four MAC founders, led a reform ticket to victory in the November 1972 elections. His first ac-tions as mayor in 1973 were to accept a HUD grant, purchase the Physick Estate for the City of Cape May and immediately lease it to MAC for its restoration and operation. MAC’s founders were kept busy with the restoration of the Physick Estate. An army of volunteers repaired leaking roofs, sanded and painted, reglazed missing windows and cleared jungle growth from the grounds to bring the Estate back from the brink. The decision to operate the mansion as a Victorian house museum has continued to this day. MAC soon began programs that went far beyond restoring the Physick Estate. One of its major initiatives was to extend MAC’s interpretative net over the entire community with guided walking tours of Cape May’s Historic District, trolley tours, and historic

house tours. MAC added special events as fund-raisers, including Victorian Weekend over the Columbus Day holiday, now in its 42nd year. The Christmas Candlelight House Tour put Cape May on the path of becoming a major Christmas destination. As Cape May’s fortunes rose in the 1980s in response to a national craze for Victoriana, so did the range and complex-ity of MAC’s tours and activities. From the single trolley tour route of the 1970s, a second was added in 1983 and a third in 1985. Christmas trolley tours were intro-duced to flesh out the holiday season, and special events were launched for February, April and May. While the sum of these experiences

was positive and pointed to a bright future, it took one particular event to catapult MAC to its next phase of growth—the “acquisition,” through a long-term lease, of the Cape May Lighthouse. Under the lease, MAC assumed responsibility for the restoration and operation of the Lighthouse as a museum. In 1987, the ground floor was opened to the public. The following year, safety improvements allowed the public to climb to the top of the tower. The Lighthouse also housed MAC’s first Museum Shop. MAC continued to make great strides in its efforts to extend the tourism season, in partnership with the business community. It launched the Cape May Music Festival, expanded Christmas programming, and added September’s Cape May Food and Wine Celebration, and Halloween Happenings in October. MAC also partners with other area non-profits and area historic destinations. The Carriage House at the Physick Estate also underwent a major overhaul in 1997 and was con-verted to a multipurpose facility, housing a space for changing exhibits, a museum shop and visitors center, and the Carriage House Cafe & Tearoom (opened in 1999), which utilizes both the interior horse stalls and a tented patio area. Perhaps MAC’s most ambitious undertaking of the past decade has been its efforts to interpret Cape May’s important World War II history. The centerpiece of this venture was the successful completion of MAC’s third major restoration project – the World War II Lookout Tower (Fire Control Tower No. 23) on Sunset Boulevard. After leasing the structure from the State Park Service and raising more than $1.3 million in grant funding, a year of construction led to the opening of the tower to the public in the spring of 2009. In its first 44 years, MAC has been a major force behind Cape May’s dramatic rebirth. As of 2014, with strong Board leadership, an annual audience of more than 280,000 and a staff of 150 (25 full-time and 125 part-time employees, making MAC one of Cape May’s largest employers), MAC stands poised to help Cape May sustain its preservation success story for years to come. MAC’s membership has grown to more than 3,000, and this support helps ensure the continuation of the organization’s preservation, interpretation and cultural enrichment efforts. We hope you will join our labor of love.
