5th & State On Mary Bairstow

 5th & State came to Atlanta recently to visit her friend Mary Bairstow, interior decorator. 
 You'll like Mary's interiors but I fixate on her exterior.  The woman has Vanishing Threshold.
 I swoon, above, at the diminutiveness of these steps & matched in scale boxwood and asymmetry.
 A taste of Mary's interior, above. 
Is there any doubt, above, you are about to enter a fabulous home/garden?  None.  When every element of simplicity/function are achieved you know you are looking at the work of a master.

5th & State took the pics.  Still pouting I didn't know she was in Atlanta, I would have invited myself along on this visit to Mary's magical home/garden.

Did you notice the layers of green Mary uses in her garden?  Layers of green give you serenity & calm.

you are brilliant in your detail and so agree with your assessment of mary's gorgeous home.

i'll just have to tell mary, ahem, ask mary if she would like to host a gathering next time i am in atlanta (july).
