Just what I needed to see on a dreary, early spring day in southern Ontario. So many ideas. Kim
Oh that’s so lovely! I’m glad to hear that Kim!!
Thanks for stopping by!
So much inspiration! I have thyme between my stones because I’m usually barefooted and those little pebbles would hurt…but I do love the look. I’ve checked most of these off. I have a pergola covered in wisteria with a brick floor and iron chairs underneath. On the small covered patio I have a charming bistro set. On my front porch, I have wicker furniture with a small round iron table. Clematis climbs up my gate, trimmed boxwoods line my gardens, a rose bush overhangs the path around the side…..
I’m going back to delve deeper into the decorators you mentioned above.
Oh wow you ARE set Joanna! Your yard sounds lovely! And I love thyme in between stones – a classic look!
