Loving the mix of the wood//grey and greenery in this space.  The texture of the wall is not to bad either!

grey in the garden

I love the contrast of the grey exterior paint with the weathered teak and green shrubs.  Perfection!  I think the grey would make a wonderful gate and fence color to offset a garden.. don't you?

Round boxwood hedges in the garden

 I have been going back and forth on what to do in the garden.  It is funny for a project I am working on my vision is clear, I know exactly which plants I would recommend but for myself it has been back and forth with this and that.  I have noticed though that I love love the slightly more relaxed look of rounded boxwood or just rounded hedges in general.  I have had some great inspiration and now it is time to implement it all.. we will see how I do!

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!

Boxwood wreaths...

I was so excited to find some beautiful boxwood wreaths at Trader Joes.  For the price I feel as though I could replace them 3 times over the season if they get a little crispy!  

Looking forward to gearing up for Christmas this week with our tree coming soon.

Happy Holidays!

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.

a little green and white..

 

Totally loving the simplicity of white and greenery with natural elements lately.  So clean and simple- which is what I need to sooth my hurried mind!  What do you have planned for this weekend?  Just soccer games and work here but I am glad to have a quite schedule to try and get things back to normal around here.

Dark Grey and green...

 

Oh my goodness friends... it has been quite a week!  I know it's not over but it is coming to an end right?  I am not complaining (much) this first full week of school for the kids and a ton have work are really taking their toll.  

It's funny, when life is crazy busy I seem to think of more things to add to the list, I want to have a party and I cannot get it off of my mind!  Okay I will stop with the rambling and imagine myself in this space with the touch of greenery to sooth my wild brain.

at home...

I came across these beautiful images on No. 19 and completely fell in love with the layered and real life look of them.  Sometimes I really need to be reminded that I need to design for me..  it does not always work that way for me at home.  I am thinking it might be fun to start a new series of real homes - designers at home.. Are you interested?  Well if you are drop me a line and we will see where it leads..  Wishing you a creative and productive Monday!

Garden dreaming By Invitation Only

 

I am a little late to the party but let's just say fashionably late.  I have spent the last few months gathering inspiration for what is the beginning of what will be one of our longest personal projects here at home.  We are laying out the garden and it's rooms.  Living in California we spend a great deal of time outside.  In the summer months I work outside to be around the kids and to just have the fresh air.  Our yard is pretty good size for the neighborhood that we are in so we have quite a bit of room to create.  I want a small sitting area just off of the dining room similar to the one pictured above, a sweet space to have tea and waste away Saturday mornings reading magazines and books.

 

Of course my husband and I also want a pool, never having one really makes us want it all the more.   These are both so beautiful. 

I love the simple lines of these two pools nothing crazy just good clean fun!

 

I really love fresh flowers and Hydrangea are some of my favorites, we cannot seem to get Lilac to grow well here but it is so beautiful!  So near my sitting area we are planning for a large grouping of Hydrangea and some hedging to back it.

 

Of course we will have Wisteria along the structures near the house.

 

 

I have seen some really beautiful stone troughs that I have been dying to find a use for so we are looking for the perfect place to put a fountain.

 

We need some large hedges to block out a view from the street above which has been our biggest challenge!  These are fabulous!

 

 

 These are my dream items (items that the husband is opposed to) I would love to have some ladies in my garden to keep me company and give us wonderful fresh eggs.

 

Finally I really need a pool house with ivy and Hydrangea, don't you think.  Oh and this is a great example of what I have asked for surrounding the pool,  cement pavers with grass running between.

I am excited to get a plan in place and see these ideas come to life!

Stop by to see what the other ladies have done too.

Holiday entry..

 

I love this door with the boxwoods!  So simple and sweet!  Even though it is not officially December yet the Holidays are upon us!  I am excited to get into the full swing of things around here and see if I can catch that holiday spirit.

What do you do to prepare for the holidays?  I would love some tips on how you keep it all going!

Thank you all for your sweet birthday wishes!
