Whimsical Gardens

IMG_1418 IMG_1433Garden catalogs are arriving daily at Heath and it’s that time of year where I like to sequester myself with paper and pencils to draft a layout of the grounds for spring, summer and fall.

I enjoy choosing a yearly theme and color scheme so; the gardens flow colorfully from one season to the next with a flourish of blooms.

IMG_3131Using photos from Versailles {my favorite gardens}, books and magazines for inspiration I am attempting to create a dream garden where one steps into an enchanted world that speaks of “once upon a time” and all that is luxurious and whimsical. A coveted spot to enjoy during each of the seasons.

Plan and create stylishly,

Christmas in Casa-Pueblo

IMG_3016 IMG_3569Tis the season to travel and our reporters are cruising throughout South America for the holidays. Their first port of call was to a resort off the Atlantic coast known as the St. Tropez of southeastern Uruguay; Punta del Este a city with beautiful beaches and gorgeous sunsets. Casa-Pueblo is first on the list of sites, a museum built by Uruguayan artist Carlos Páez Vilaró as a summer house and workshop. Designed as a living sculpture with whitewashed concrete and stucco creates a surrealistic appearance off the coast in Punta Ballena.

Travel stylishly,
K
