A Potting Shed for the Garden

Leave a Comment

Ah, the shear luxury of having one…

Increasingly I find I am turning to our yard with it’s plants, flowers and greenery for it’s calming effect it has on me. There’s nothing more satisfying than pottering about early in the morning or at the end of the day – pulling a few weeds, transplanting an orphan plant, dead heading the peonies and such. Then to simply sit and take it all in.

 

A few images from the yard…

My companions…

Ah, to have nothing to do…

Have a wonderful day!

Formal Foyers

Leave a Comment

This morning I am working on the stair in the foyer of our Newton project, as seen in this post. I had always envisioned the foyer as being quite formal until a few minutes ago…

Now I’m reconsidering…

Have a wonderful day!

Sally and I have been asked to help develop the exterior color scheme for our Newton project, so today I took time to poke thru a stack of magazines for inspiration. Found several good ideas…

Nor would I mind lingering over a glass of chilled rose here.

 

I’m liking the creamy yellow stucco, faded olive green shutters and limestone lintels. The hint of a Juliet balcony at the second floor windows is delightful! The front door has me thinking, too…

 

More subtle and cooler, yet still friendly. I like these front doors, too.

 

The most playful for last – with the eggplant shutters and trim. Might be too casual for this house. Maybe I’ll save this combination for when Sally and I repaint our house…

 

Have a wonderful week!
