There's No Place Like Home

 

I am sooo happy I got to go to Historic Garden Week in Lynchburg Virginia!

Even though this house is not on the tour it's one of my favorites.

 I grew up in this area and have always admired the architecture and gardens.

A springtime bouquet at its best at the Frantz house.

The home of Dr. and Mrs. David Frantz.

Don't you love these gates on Madison Street?

This is the home of Rie and Eddie Godsey. 

Great terrace for entertaining guests.

 Love bleeding hearts and pansies!

The home of Anne Taylor and Joe James.

A lovely place to have your morning coffee.

Lynchburg will always have a special place in my heart.

Golly Bard Paintings

I've been wanting to tell you about this great artist who shares my design studio.

Her real name is Holly Bimba and I love the fact that she takes all of her paintings from nature,
gives them a little twist and turns them into a whimsical fairytale.

I love the sweet gentle love between these two doves.

And I just love this period! It gives me hope for spring and gardening.

What is more exciting than to see a bird's nest with eggs?

You can find all of Holly's prints and paintings at her

Golly Bard shop and her blog.

The Joy of Living in Virginia

I've been very busy with work and neglected my poor little blog. Sorry blog! 

And I became obsessed with Pinterest- Oh dear! I really am back now. I promise! 

A few weeks ago I took a day trip to Mount Vernon. 

    Mount Vernon, our first President George Washington's plantation, 

is a beautiful and inspiring classical home and garden.

I love the simplicity and layout of these buildings.

If you are ever in the Washington, DC area, I highly recommend visiting this beautiful home. 

You won't be disappointed!

Everhart Part Two

Welcome again to Glenda's garden! It has been a busy, hectic week. 

Isn't this front door stunning? I love it because not only is the architecture beautiful, 

the white looks so cool and refreshing under the large shade trees.

I love the contrast between the Canterbury Bells and the lush greenery in this shade garden.

I have to be honest, I am not always a huge fan of decks, however between 

the elegant design and the transition between the house and garden, 

this deck is fabulous! Now I want to build a deck!

Can you imagine sitting under this wisteria sipping an icy drink? How beautiful is this?

These Cecil Brunner roses just go on and on and on!
I hope you have a wonderful week!
