This just in from our longtime friend Tricia Rose, owner of Northern California company Rough Linen and a self-described coastal grandmother who lives (literally) in a boathouse perched on the edge of San Francisco Bay. Here’s her take on the Coastal Grandmother:
"The Coastal Grandmother’s aesthetic is based in elementals: clean air, fresh flowers, comfortable and considered choices."
"She swims in the sea. She wears makeup when she feels like it, but couldn’t be bothered to contour. She sleeps well, in linen sheets, and wakes refreshed, bien dans sa peau."
“If Coastal Grandmother is an aspirational term, it is only in terms of maturity. She has winnowed the wheat from the chaff, she suits herself.
"She favors texture and natural tones, but has a soft spot for bright color too, maybe her table napkins (always linen), and in flowers."
