How will my garden grow?


Who knew that planning for landscape can be so difficult.  I truly am jealous of landscape architects and their level of knowledge about plantings and layering of live materials.  I am currently scouring nurseries in the So. Cal area looking for the perfect pieces to add to my garden now that the pool project is almost complete.  We need trees like crazy that will shield us from nosy passersby but keep their leaves for year round green and such.   Needless to say I have bought not one tree but many varieties of Hydrangea have made it home with me for my shade garden.  I love the Magnolia trees and I think I finally found the one I was searching for with the pink flower.. now the question is where to put her and should I buy more than one?  Any advice is greatly appreciated as I know there are some really great gardeners out there with a wealth of knowledge (please share).  Here are a few of the beautiful things I have come across in the past weeks while trying to find just the right thing!

greige and butterflys...


From a beautiful Parisian apartment comes a dreamy bath with a mix of greige and grey along with lovely butterflys.. Oh how I dream of my own Paris apartment.  I love the height that they use in the space- perfection really.

Fall weekend in the Central Coast


We had a wonderful fall weekend on our visit to the Central Coast.  It makes me so happy to spend a little bit of time in the country.  There is always a lot to see and many places to stop.  We like to visit as many places as possible, this time we squeezed in at least 3 days worth of activity into one and a half.  These sweet big guys were just outside the entrance to Remnants of the Past.  I love horses, such beautiful animals!  
We managed to get to the Avila Barn to pick up some pumpkin bread and other goodies, the See Canyon apple farm for pumpkins and the yummiest apples, as well as the show and food in San Luis Obispo. 
Tomorrow I will show you all the fun we had at the show....
