Prune, stand, stare, pick up.
Just a quick hello today, work has me in and out for the next few days. I am also throwing in some landscaping fun too. Hot here, hovering around the high 90's but humid and very draining too!
More picks to come, as are more tomatos I hope. If we can just keep the family of rabbits under my studio out of the garden. Any thoughts?
This Parterre Garden is a lot of inspiration, but so orderly and well put together.
I love the swirly hedges here. I also think that I am in need of a proper fountain.
Early morning watering with some new watering cans.A couple of vintage cans from Turkey and France picked up on one of my travels. The old vintage bistro chairs are mixed with a pair of mahogony foldable chairs in teak wood from S&H.
Derby looking (stalking prey) in the garden area. I love thumpers, but they are cutting into Tom's tomato supply. I think they must hop, hop, right on over to the garden for lunch and dinner! Needless to say; Derby does not approve of their choice of restaurant.

On another note, I worked on this project a while ago. Color consulting and faux glazing these doors.
In the top left planter there is a nesting dove and her babies.
A closer look at the front door and the finish.
The idea of the door color was to mimic the natural aged copper look of the front porch and the guttering in copper. Glazed with a lighter tone close to the house and roof color scheme.
Another closer view of the side door to the mudroom area.

Custom shutters were drawn up, fabricated and painted in Alexandria beige.The shutters before the faux glazing technique was applied.
To complete the look; these custom shutters were constructed from the new material like the Trexx wood decking. Painted and glazed to add just the right amount of age. This English style home is shaded and will be perfectly complimented with the front shutters in the washed finish.
A line of shutters; drying in the shade. Sometimes I shutter to think of what style and look to add that just the right look and feel. The additional architectural element can so change and add to the facade of a structure.
These perfectly compliment the facade of this brick home.

Hi Leslie - your faux painting on the shutters & door is tremendous. The house is going to look gorgeous. Mr. Derby reminds me so much of my dog, he's adorable. I can imagine he doesn't like the wee rabbits to be taking over his yard!
Not sure if this will help? -

Thanks for the source. I went to a local nursery, they think it was the big black birds that I saw that morning near the garden. Bunnies they say, eat the entire plant. Who knew? To make amends, I got a few cherry pepper plants this afternoon, they already have peppers (cheat, cheat).......
Trying to help out.
