Avery Roberts has been to Palm Beach only once in her life, but she’s always had a thing for coastal living and all things pink and green. “I’ve been drawn to sunny, happy colors and that old Florida charm for as long as I can remember,” says the stationery designer. She began collecting and refinishing secondhand “Palm Beach–chic” furniture—like faux bamboo chairs and lacquer tables—as a hobby 10 years ago.
