Samantha Wiser of Seamless Planning had a vision about embracing simplicity, calm and intentional design. Set against the charming white porch of Zingerman’s Cornman Farms, the aesthetic leaned into fresh, organic elegance with a soft, cool-toned palette of green and white. “I wanted to create a relaxing tone and understated aesthetic, with minimal color and intentional design,” says Samantha.
