Inspired by nature


Nature is screaming at me for inspiration lately, since I'm knee deep in outdoor projects, gardening and keeping up with our 6 acres.  Here are some fun outdoor spaces and coordinating blooms.

Wouldn't this Hellebore be gorgeous in this room? I need some of these! Check out the amazing photography by bbclare.

I love this outdoor room by the talented Ginger Barber


and I can picture it surrounded by dogwoods.

Have a wonderful weekend and hope it's beautiful weather for being outside! You'll find me at the garden center and farmers market picking up more plants!

  6. Hard NOT to be consumed with thinking about outside, as pretty as the weather has been recently. I'll be at a garden center tomorrow, too, for professional reasons ... giving a rose program in Richmond in the morning. I imagine there will be a bit of time afterward to hit my favorite shopping spots to see what kinds of treasure I can find. (BTW, you do need some Hellebores. They are the most recent object of my garden hoarding. I love them, and you will, too.)
