Ivy League : Vertical Gardens

From the simple stray vine of ivy to the lush and beautiful gardens of Patrick Blanc, 
Vertical gardens bring sustainable beauty that only Nature can provide: 




















Simple. Beautiful. Unique.

Have a beautiful day!

Lucky Ducks: Frame It and Hang it

It's a Mallard Convention~~

This is such a wonderful, artful photograph, that...
Hmmm...how can I suggest this nicely...?
This needs to be Blown up, Framed, and Hung on Everyone's wall.



Yes, It does.
Have a great day!

Design with Big, Beautiful Birds!

 It's hard to go wrong with mirrors and botanical prints as wall decor --  and the scientific/biology-oriented nature designs are great. But let's remember the Birds, who, by the way, are descendants of Dinosaurs. So much new wallpaper has birds...it's gorgeous!  So think of bird-art as a great idea for your walls. And, when looking to put up those pictures, I say -- and, apparently, do many designers -- 
"The bigger the better!"

This one really puts the birds ( pigeons, not real) on display!

Of course, the amazing selection of John James Audubon prints is always going to be a great source of wonderful bird art.... also Mark Catesby, John Gould, Alexander Wilson...whether you like museum-type or folk art, birds work!

One of my favorite National Geographic articles ever (July 1998, p.96)  was called , There's a Dinosaur in Your Backyard. Talk about fascinating....
Anyway, birds are beautiful...why not put these kinder, gentler dinosaurs up on your wall?

Have an awesome day!

That Touch of Pink

Punctuation, with the color Pink.

Punctuation can change the meaning or tone of a sentence...or a design. 
Each room below is great without the pink. 
But like the perfect lipstick, it can really bring a room to life.
A Touch of Pink adds a soft, upbeat energy:










































I guess I've saved up more touch-of-pink images than I thought!
 I love it, and So Do Your Rooms. : )

Have a happy day!
