Nicky Haslam & Miles Redd

Copy, it's the 1st rule of Garden Design.  If you don't like rules, who does, you'll like this one.
.
Each permutation of 'copy' is unique, guaranteed.
.
Copying from the best means you are opening a treasure chest to major talents across the globe, and time.
.
Copy, it's a 1st rule of Interior Design too.

Sussex Farmhouse




Redd brought in a breakfront to anchor the space and had it painted in one of his mother's favorite colors, an 18th century-inspired chalky green. A table skirt made from taffeta is a soft contrast to the mahogany ladder-back chairs.

Copy, it works for 2 of the best, above.  It will work for you.
.
Copy, glad my epiphany came, but why was I stubborn for so long, thinking I could recreate the wheel?  My work became more original once I knew to copy.  Who doesn't enjoy riffing on a theme?  Though, beware the trap of derivative works becoming stale.

Garden & Be Well,   XO T
