Hello Ann, Henry James epitomized the feeling of comfort and relaxation with his phrase "summer afternoon", and an important physical element of that is trellis-work. I love trellises that have been brought inside when the effect is well-done, as in your illustrations from so many kinds of sources.
Sometime the feeling of bringing summer indoors can be achieved with wicker, usually with a more informal effect.
I enjoyed this summery post in January.

Hi Parnassus! I so agree, and I particularly like white wicker. Call me old fashioned. Although where we are it is warm enough where I feel trapped in perpetual summer.
