Chairs to June!

this gorgeous chair just got a new frock!
the before was a 70's burnt orange faux velvet that was
so dated. the damask style print has a way of mimicking the caning.
happy June, happy summertime.

York Wallpaper goes a bit Peter Max!

wallpaper is now! with bright optimistic vision, York's 
RISKY BUSINESS
is colorful, playful and lively, with bold lines and forms, take a look

love that it is made in the USA   



playful!did you notice the flower on the pillow and the roses mimic the outline of the lip,clever repetition which helps in unifying the design so it's cohesive.use this element!

pinks and reds on foil

here the cut-work on the carved mirror repeats the cut out petals

ah, the choices



all that glittery goodness!



60's mod with a nod to mies



nice



again, York doesn't miss with the circular motif of the face repeated in the light fixture,rug and chair, this paper has a Pete Max quality to me



York



Beethoven by Peter Max



Lautrec by Peter Max 



flash back to Peter Max by Julia Kay here
the lines of this are reminiscent of the "curves ahead" paper above



computer chip or subway way map? so graphic with nail head trim and tufting picking of the rhythm






these are vibrant in person like Peter Max art
 

Peter Max



York,modern-large scale hounds-tooth



a slightly different take on leopard



leopard inspired by the Peter Max below?



more Peter Max 



lines and curves all the way





one more for graphic-comparison!



Peter Max-oh so graphic 



my Mom, a graphic vintage 60's shot,excellent repetition in the dress fabric, pearl earrings-necklace and wall of plans

kiss-kiss and Happy Mother's Day!

Spring Growth

I posted climbers here in October 2011
when I first planted this beauty


progress, look how she's doing now, I will need to
get the arched trellis up ASAP


 
earlier in March



poppy's beginning to bloom


Jackson & Perkins Princess Diana Rose
and Poppy's from seeds



doesn't this photo have nice balance!
I've really  been enjoying the view


 that's flax below the poppy



stripes everywhere!



just about to open




wish I had more time to relax around the pool


before

AFTER
 vintage sprinkler and droplets on the penstemon, I love this shot


some poppy's found a spot in front of the vintage cut-out bench. snap dragons from seed


wild salvia is welcome, do you see my interior light
that I re-purposed outside
