garden doors...

 

One garden mystery I love is what will come back year after year.. somethings are planted and never return but my favorites are the ones that keep coming back and surprising me each year.  It is like opening a door to a beautiful space that is always changing.  

I hope you have a wonderful weekend planned.  We have nothing planned which is the most wonderful thing of all I think.  This way I can take my time in the morning thinking of things to do while I day dream...

garden dreams..

 

I have been day dreaming about a well kept garden for the past week.  We have begun our latest project here and all of the trees are gone and a giant hole is dug in the back.  We will be adding new and planting what seems like a uncountable number of shrubs and flowers eventually but for now I am so sad to miss the joy of a beautiful Spring...  This mature space seems so tranquil!

Wishing you a wonderful weekend!  Enjoy the coming of Spring!

Spring please

 

Okay I am ready- when is Spring arriving?  We have been working on the plans for our backyard for weeks and I think we may have gotten it all taken care of..  now the really hard part begins - starting the project and loosing all of the beauty of Spring out there.  I am sure the result will be amazing when we can afford the actual plants but until then it may be a little barren!  I love love this piece and I may have to add a little something out there like this to keep me happy!

Also, be sure to check out One Kings Lane tonight for the Seahouse Design Sale!!

Hide away...

 

Why is it if we just hide away our to do list is still waiting there when we return?  I wish to hide away here for a few days and come back to everything already taken care of!  Is anyone going to come with me?  

Wishing you a wonderful Saturday!

Climbing plants and packing...

 

Just a little something to help me relax... did it work for you too?  Well, it won't be for long- we had a wonderful first day on our One Kings Lane sale and it is off to packing up all of those goodies for me!  

I hope you are enjoying the long weekend - I know we are going to need the extra day around here, so I am very thankful for it.

I have been wandering around the internet for while and was feeling quite inspired.  I dream of doing this with my hair at least one day over the coming holiday weekend.  We shall see how far I get... but I absolutely love it.

architectural love..

 

Well we all know I am a sucker for a well designed building.  This one is at the top of my list... let me see here used brick, black doors, white columns, ivy or wisteria growing up one side.  Pretty much perfect I think.  I cannot believe we are already on Thursday again.  How does time fly by so quickly?  Where is it all going and why?  

I hope you are looking forward to a restful weekend (yep I pretty much consider it imminent at this point)!

Charm...

 

I often think we could all use a little charm in our lives..  this home just seems to oozz it.  I love the dark shutters and the vine over the door.  Just simple perfection really.

Molly Wood Garden Design {fall}

Last week I had a chance to stop by my friend Molly's shop for a little table-scaping class she was having.  She has the best selection of goodies and plants!  It is always an inspiration to walk through the garden and the shop.  

This is just a peek at the goodness that she has going on there.

greige on the outside..

 

 

The exterior of this home in Los Angeles is so gorgeous!  I love the grey in the siding and the shutters just a subtle color change and it contrasts so nicely with the landscape.  Really the green in the landscape makes the colors work so well.  Looking forward to another busy and successful week here!

Mind trip...

 

You know you are working too much when you get to view all of your really old photos on screen saver video slide shows.  I was reminded of my trip to Portugal almost 6 years ago - is that even possible that it has been that long?!  Wow!  

I hope you have a wonderful weekend planned!  Working on getting caught up here and taking a little family time.

Oh my, thank goodness it is almost the end of the week.. we can celebrate Thursday right?

I love the amazing windows in this house, it seems they almost touch the floor and the arched gateway is amazing!
