So yes, despite the fact that I claimed I was ready for fall, and that temperatures up here in Boston have dropped to a crisp 60 degrees, I have to get my last little bit of summer in.
This store is incredible. 
I've spent every summer of my life on the Cape, and a fair portion of that time in stores on Main Street in Chatham, but I had only been into Midsummer Nights one or two times before this past Labor Day weekend. We took a little group expedition to the town for some end-of-season seafood, beers, and shopping, and as soon as we walked into the shop I whipped out my camera and started snapping.
They sell everything from downy cashmere sweaters to designer cocktail dresses, handmade jewelry, and devastatingly elegant home pieces. And seriously, I want to move in. If I could design my dream summer home, it would probably look something like this:
A grey-shingled facade with classic architectural details.
A color palette based in creamy neutrals, accented with pops oceanic color- sky blues, sands, and shimmering metallics.
Nautical accents everywhere, like this sailor-style chest and crystal sea critters.
A little eastern influence.
Linens, linens everywhere.
Maybe even a clawfoot tub. Love the way they styled this, but of course, we non-boutique owners would probably keep it in the bathroom.
Now all I need is the house.
