The century old Glen Ella Inn would be inappropriate to its era if it were 'fancy'.

Coming up from the garden, below, the owner's heart & intellect spoke, and made me smile.

For many centuries the best gardens across the globe have shared an oddly piquant quality, and much needed. The poverty cycle.

My smile, below? The air-conditioning units painted the wall color, and rocking chairs painted the door color.
Studying historic gardens across France taught me the connection of paint color and field gathered furniture.

Been doing it in client gardens for decades. I'm not one to ignore the brilliance of earlier garden designers.
Another smile, with color. Have designed umbrellas into a client's barns/acreage. Using any color amongst her exterior color trinity. (Remember, every garden must have a color trinity.)

Ironically, the chairs on the front porch of Glen Ella, yesterday's post, were created during a true poverty cycle, and now, are quite expensive. Hence, the style change with the back porch rocking chairs.

Garden & Be Well, XO Tara
Beautiful simplicity.
