THEY, yesterday's client, have a new house in an old neighborhood.
Shutters in their breakfast room are usually closed due to the view of the carriage house, below. Solution? I designed a pair of French doors, iron balcony and jasmine 'Madison' to climb and soften.
Their covered porch, below, exposed to the neighbors. Behind the chairs I've designed shutters, sconces, sofa table, pair of lamps, and an ottoman for the chairs. The floor will be stained 2 tones darker than the house trim and a sisal rug will be placed.
The stacked wood wall, below, has got to go. Until then it will be stained the trim color of the house.
A stone wall will be built with a modest column for an urn. Across the street, below, is the type of stone wall their landscape needs.
Changing the subject, below, yesterday's lunch on the well-placed chair. Remember what the chair looked like 4 days ago?
Yes, snow, 4 days ago. Atlanta has crazy weather. It was zone 7, now zone 8.
Bought the footstool, below, with thoughts of paint & recovering. It's been in my garage for years.
Brought it into the house yesterday and discovered a note pinned to its bottom.
Horse hair and excelsior stuffing, maybe original? I googled the names on the note and found one of them. Will sleep again with Farrow & Ball deciding on a color.
I have a footstool fetish. Anyone else? .
Why the disparate mix of topics? They all happened yesterday. Are your days this sublimely variable? Tears yesterday also. I found a disc of pictures, several years old. Pictures taken in Penny's garden, Hydrangea Heaven. Friend, mentor, travel companion, compatriot in crime, lecture partner, and too long gone from this Earth.

Garden & Be Well, XO Tara
