Welcome to The Editors’ Cut, our monthly column dedicated to beautiful and useful finds for all over the house. In this installment: Blue might be the color most mused about by poets, artists, and musicians. Writer Maggie Nelson devoted an entire topic to the subject in her book Bluets. Picasso did, too, in his Blue Period. Joni Mitchell, in an album. Yves Klein obsessed over it nearly his entire career. In summer, it’s easy to see why. Who hasn’t been moved by all the hues that the season offers up—the first lilacs, wild cornflowers in a field, the clear sea, electric dappled light on a swimming pool? July can’t be bottled, but these 11 finds capture a little of the endless blue. — The Remodelista Editors
