Pool side...

 

We have spent the last few days trying to iron out details of pool side design, pool shapes and various other needs for our upcoming changes here.  This is much harder than I thought!  There is so much inspiration and so much I do not know about landscape and hard scape design.  The image above is one of my favorites... we are going to do a structure (because I am not allowed to have a pool house) similar to this at the end of the pool!  Yay!  Now to go through the 1 million items to prepare and to look forward to warmer days ahead...

Happy Friday!

 

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.

simply grey and white...

 

I love this simplicity of the white and grey in this home.  The greenery just adds to the simple beauty here- sometimes I wonder if we try to hard on the exteriors when it could be so simple and so beautiful.  

Wishing you a wonderful start to yet another weekend!

I love a good entryway.  This arched doorway is pretty amazing with the greenery.  Love it..

Wishing you a wonderful Wednesday!

Gardens... and Spring...

 

 

I have spent the past few weeks dreaming about what Spring could bring and what I would like to see in our future garden.  I am meeting with our Landscape Architect late this week to see if we can plan out all of the fantastic things we want to do.  I adore the iron doors and windows in the first two images (the first one is Merci in Paris) I would love a pair where the window now is in my dining room, with Wisteria trailing above a seating area and a small fountain.  Hydrangea are my FAVORITE flower in the world and I need to have those in various locations so they are a must.  But the rest is pretty up in the air, we love fruit trees and have a few that were here when we arrived that we would like to keep.  There is to be a pool and hopefully a small pool house.  I cannot wait to get it all down on paper to see if it is even possible and then start tackling it piece by piece.  

What are your favorite garden elements- any recommendations?
