A vibrant spring table set with the
most fragrant old-world roses transports us to a world of days past.
One can only
imagine the delicious lunch awaiting us in this glorious setting…
and take a look at this festive table.
Turquoise and lavender china initiate the color palette at this table,
but doesn’t
limit the possibility of introducing interesting shades of green linens and cabbageware
and stunning pink peonies that overflow their containers.
Let’s step into the backyard where
spring is springing on us from all four corners of the garden. Ancient brick walls are covered
with evergreen vines that envelop us with feelings of comfort and calm.
What better place
to take in the change of seasons than the luxury of a grand garden like this
one?
Climbing roses are my latest garden obsession, and I’m finding that they fit in perfectly with my favorite herbs
and succulents.
Why not fill that blank wall or porch pillar with an old
English variety of climbing cabbage rose?
As seen in this month’s issue
of Veranda, climbing roses, go hand-in-hand with ginormous succulents like this
variegated agave.
California is a wonderland of plants, terrain and lifestyle. It's fun to incorporate some of these favorite elements into your own garden for a totally unique look.
One can only dream of a room
with a view like this!
I’m working on updating my living room to open up to the
garden with view of my sweet little garden shed and lavender garden.
Growing a variety of antique roses in shades of pink, peach and white is at the top of my list for Spring! I
spent many days this winter planting legendary varieties of my favorite roses
in the back garden.
My task at the moment is to
nurture and just watch these roses as they develop from youngsters into
beautiful debutants in the garden. With all the rain we’ve had, they’re well on
their way!
And how about this jaw-dropping
shelf display of blue and white loveliness mixed with a brilliant mix of roses
and dahlias? And that collection of pink books! 💗 Wow!
Of course peonies are always on
my radar. Known
for centuries for their exquisite
beauty and striking colors, I oftentimes splurge on a bouquet of peonies, just
because…
And of course unique patterns of antique china are one of my favorite ways to usher in Spring. It’s so fun to mix and match unexpected patterns and colors.
Here’s a little peek at some of my latest acquisitions…

Roses are always at the forefront

Looking forward to Mardi gras and Cinqo de Mayo parties and decor. Always feels like summer is around the corner at these events
I agree! I love Mardi gras and Cinqo de Mayo. They're such festive holidays.
ciao!
I would love to know which books you have in that display with all of the pink bindings. They're gorgeous!
