* …and because we can’t get enough, Fan profiles the equally cool courtyard and all its fresh ideas over on Gardenista.

* Wallpaper’s having a moment: Admiring nine new designs from Zak + Fox….and a colorful new collection by Wall for Apricots, “inspired by an early 1900s trade catalogue.”

* Bud vase arrangements for the first days of summer.

* Our friend Brian Persico’s work is on display at The Beck in Rhinebeck, NY; head here for a peek (and to schedule a visit).

* And starting this week in Freedom, Maine: a farmer’s market at The Lost Kitchen.

* Spotted: blue-painted floors worth emulating.

* More stitched curtains we love. (More picks here.)

* And a lush cut flower garden in Valle de Bravo, Mexico. | BidBuddy.com
