A Note from the Designer, Kate Aubrey:
I wanted to create a guest experience that incorporated the Hudson Valley’s seasons and the colors that those seasons represent. Summer hydrangeas, Autumnal hues, the fresh green of spring, and moody winter blues for a year-round whimsical upstate escape, featuring the artwork of local Hudson Valley illustrator and surface designer Megan Galante.
