Editor’s Note
TrooRa Living’s Summer issue inspires cool shades for a peaceful space. From leafy greens to bold blues, combining an array of materials and textures that range from natural stone to wood, linen, bamboo, river pebbles, and more, you are sure to be inspired to create a colorful makeover in your own home for a summer feeling that will last all year. Seasons are a great catalyst for change. Magical things happen when we take space from our everyday grind. Every month, the day after we send the magazine to the printer, our staff changes scenery. We go beyond the screens of our computers to dream up big ideas and make plans for our upcoming issues. The idea for this TrooRa Living publication was, in fact, born. We had the idea to create this additional seasonal issue, and before we knew it, a collective decision to move from publishing five issues per year increased to nine. Enter our first-ever TrooRa Living Summer Issue. In this standalone resource for our readers, we chose summer design inspiration. Incredibly, each of the home design features in this issue is distinctly different, yet all illustrate a common truth: interior decorators and designers are interpreters—artists of space who take a vision and make it come to life. We hope you find the inspiration for the rooms in your life—perhaps for a space that takes you away from your routine and is a haven for your imagination. In Travel, Carmen Jenner enters an unfamiliar state of consciousness in the ultimate escape by discovering the ideal diversion from reality at Fivelements, Puri Ahimsa in Bali’s hilltop town of Ubud. In Wellness, learn about infrared saunas and Angela Sinnett’s depth and heart to healing through Magnolia Wellness as she tells us how her clinic breathes gratitude and transformation. We’ve also compiled a selection of some of our stellar dishes and emerging recipes from some new daring food lovers. However you choose to use this issue, we hope it becomes motivational and inspirational for you and your loved ones over this summer season.
