Summer Design Company

Author: Ashley Larsen

Welcome to Summer Design Company! In 2011, I took the chance of a lifetime… I quit my job, packed all of my belongings, and moved to Europe to live and work abroad. Formerly a professional Realtor, Interior Designer & Home Stager working in New Orleans, Louisiana, I gave up that lifestyle in order to seize an opportunity and have loved living overseas ever since! I am a lover of design, flea markets, photography, and travel, thus I created this blog as a place to share these passions in hopes that these inspirations from my international adventures may serve to inspire you!

It’s an irritating reality that many places and It’s an irritating reality that many places and events defy description. Angkor Wat and Machu Picchu, for instance, seem to demand silence, like a love affair you can never talk about. For a while after, you fumble for words, trying vainly to assemble a private narrative, an explanation, a comfortable way to frame where you’ve been and what’s happened. In the end, you’re just happy you were there — with your eyes open — and lived to see it. - Anthony Bourdain
