The word "Caribbean" is rife with vibrant tropical colors and textures, evoking balmy breezes, soft white beaches, temperate waters, and exotic fruit beverages to savor. The island of Anguilla embodies the Caribbean at its finest. Guests of the Aurora Anguilla Resort & Golf Club (auroraanguilla.com), located on one of the most northerly of the Leeward Islands in the Lesser Antilles, are brought to the British Overseas Territory by speedboat, adding a touch of adventure to the abundance of glorious views of surrounding islands, villages, and ports along the way.

Design Without Borders
It all started with a fridge on the fritz. The ailing appliance put the empty nest homeowners at a crossroads: replace or embark on the major renovation they had long pined for. Choosing the latter, they called on friend and neighbor Paul Lechleiter, who was also amid a second-act journey of his own. After spending more than two decades as the Chief Creative Officer at FRCH (now Nelson Worldwide), an international architecture and design firm, Lechleiter, a Louisville native, wasn't quite ready to quit flexing his creative muscle once he retired from the corporate world. "Commercial design isn't that personal, and I always wanted to be an interior designer; Bittners and Hubbuch & Co. were my idols growing up," he recalled.
