A VISIT TO DWELLINGS IN GRAND RAPIDS, MICHIGAN
Laura Davidson and I in front of her wonderful store known as Dwellings in Grand Rapids, Michigan. I believe Laura has taken a fresh approach to marketing home design.
Laura and her husband turned this small cottage into an amazing retail space for home furnishings.
Laura and her staff have turned the entire inside of a small cottage into a design showcase, where everything is for sale.
Every bit of space is used, even the garage to display creative home furnishings.
DALI LAMA SELECTS A JR CHAIR
Dali Lama Picks the Pauline Chair! We were honored this blessed man chose one of our chairs to sit in when he visited Ottowa, Canada.
IDEAS FROM MY SUMMER GARDEN IN CALIFORNIA. I am a big fan of Succulents! They come in a variety of forms, colors, textures and offer many possibilities for handsome combinations.
GARDEN COLOR I like to move containers to bring color to various parts of the garden. I have used two of my Sunbrella designed fabrics Trax persimmon and Flower Power. These bold fabric colors accent the basket of plants. The plants used are colorful coleus and white begonia.
TOPIARY. These structures lend interest to any garden. I have had this iron form for many years and have nursed this variegated ivy on the structure. This shape or any other shape is easy to create with the proper iron form.
ARTIC SUMMER or Verbascum bombyciferum is a biennial that likes full sun and moderate water. It works so well with this stone statuary…almost looks like it was carved from stone. Spikes of yellow flowers appear in the summer.
