I love the pastels and those gorgeous matching – well, what’s? Eucalyptus? – by the door on that “near folly-like” entrance. But my faves are those bell-shaped lovely glass pieces. Man, those are nice and all bauble-like, lol. And I am a sucker for baubles.

Love it! I never get bored of beige… much to my partner’s despair!

I never loved beige until I decided to call it khaki. LOL!–s

I like that the neutrality of the garden pieces, thereby allowing for color-play w/ fabrics & the landscape palette. While I prefer a modern aesthetic, I really do like the salvaged & weathered pieces. The take-away for me is the duality of this style…smooth vs. textured; neutral vs. color; oversized vs. minute details.

Just my .02

Your .02 is worth more than that. Thanks for taking the time to offer it. The duality is interesting isn’t it?–s

The look is beautiful but not my style. I’ve definitely seen this trend trickle down as you mention. I prefer more modern pieces juxtaposed with antique or traditional. My favorite is to fuse traditional and modern into one piece like the Louis Ghost Chair. Wouldn’t they look fabulous skirted around a large, rustic dining table?

I also love the look of traditional furniture pieces painted white or turquoise, to give them an updated look, and replace the hardware with modern pulls.

I’m so with you on adding quirky pieces to any room, but keeping to a minimum is key to not overdo it.

I have to say I love the pulleys used as hooks for the lanterns. Very clever!

Just because it’s a trend doesn’t mean you have buy in lock stock and barrel…everything gets filtered through our own perspective and style for sure…this trend was certainly filtered through mine! LOL–s

All great themes, but the top photo w/ *THOSE* potted dwarf trees and the scene is incredible. My mind is grinding away “in the background” on how to adapt such things to our different architecture and plant forms here. Thanks for sharing.

No SW expert, but would think industrial, vintage, woven and patina w/grand scale would work. White washed and sunbleached color…just thinking too!–s

I know…it takes a long time to get outside those doors!–s
