My annual pilgrimage to Nashville for the Garden and Antique show never fails to inspire, tease, spring cannot be too far behind (Nashville maybe....Chicago, not at all) and induce a covetess nature. I want it all!
The entry garden. Beautifully acknowledged this years theme of 'Color' but these grass like men were both ingenious and creepy......to me that is.Nothing appeals to me more than an allee of trees
These massive containers were dressed in strips of Redwood skins
One of the premier speakers at this event was Eddie Ross. The lecture was brilliant, the speaker engaging and the content doable for all.........but that, we know, is his forte
Let's walk through the stunning booths together........you'll see where i began covetingSimple elements take on a curated look against a white background and the appropriate lighting
Three long strands of farm equipment chains. When individualized they will make great coat hooks in my foyer
Favorite booth by ' Garden Variety' of Nashville.
See what I mean, she is good, very very good
This inspired me to repeat this with outdoor containers but with spilling plantings instead of sphagnum moss
My friends Mary Bairstow of Atlanta and Murielle of Paris shared a booth. Mary is renown for her basket lights
With the evocative art by Andrea Costa
A surprisingly comfortable chair from vintage rugsMurielle's furniture is all Parisian. She strips the ordinary brown stain, bleaches the wood and viola!
Just adore these miniature gardens where everyone can become a landscape designer
An evocative figure found buried, for at least a century, in Mexico
More farm implements. Here turned into wall art/vine support
Obelisks.........in ground or in containers.........an all important vertical ornament
Hope you enjoyed the mini "tour"and shared in a moment of Spring!
