Front Porch: Furniture & Fabric

The old glider, below, newly upholstered. 
 Good design creates these moments, below.
How did the sun know to hit the dark green magnolia foliage making it match the yellows of the cushion, above?

Color is huge in the garden: plants, stone, furniture, house paint, brick, flowers, door hardware & lighting, weather, time of day.

Green - Brown - White is a top TRINITY.  Zillion shades of each.  Unique everytime.

Pics taken on Susanne Hudson's front porch.  Was there last weekend creating a garden for the Penny McHenry Hydrangea Festival.    Be wary of patterned fabrics in your garden.  Patterns on Susanne's porch are accents.  Notice, too, the comfy seating area?  Great for conversation & cool gin/tonic's on hot Southern evenings.

Beautiful - just beautiful.

What other color trinities do you like besides brown, green & white?

I need to establish one w/deep terra cotta red, as that's the color of our house and is not soon to change.

Thanks,

Vera
