a colorful b&w sunday...& Fifi...

my world is full of color....


the perennial gardens are just starting to pop


 recently I went out shopping & found a turquoise table that I had EVERY intention of putting in our "Sweet Life" display at the event


but after I cleaned it up inside I noticed how much it reminded me of the gardens just steps away from my living room.....  

it's created a whole new look in here now!



i love Jenn's pillow i purchased from her new line
(she's bringing similar pieces to the sale)

adding some apple blossomed branches and the feel of the house is so much more of an extension of our gardens....our farm...






I have never seen my French linen look so complementary


adding more branches to the other rooms helps connect them






i brought out items i had tucked away....

there was something missing...

so I added my sail boat oil painting collection...it gave me just the right amount of color & texture i was inspired by



now my home is a true reflection of the outdoors....the natural wood trim and dark lines of the furniture are like the tree branches...colors are the flowers...lace is the rugged fence surrounding the potager & gravel paths 

nature inspired me once again...but in a totally colorful way!!

Fifi has put together the coolest outfit for the Boho-Ball....hope you are coming to meet her & dressing up yourself!!!

  8. Your garden is looking beautiful. I love all the spring colors around now, even here in the desert.
    Turquoise is one of my favorite colors. That table is beautiful, and looks right at home there :-)

  9. Oh how I love branches of blossom in vases! They say spring like nothing else, except maybe Queen Anne's Lace.
