Garden Style
Garden style is the art of decorating your home with the themes, colors, textures, and patterns found in the broad world of the living garden.Evoking the feel of a garden in your home helps create a relaxed atmosphere that balances and calms the hectic pace of modern life. Perhaps this is why garden style is one of the most popular and fastest growing of personal decorating trends.On of the beauties of garden style is that it can be as highly structured as a formal garden or as wonderfully random as a country meadow. Garden style can also exist alongside other decorating schemes. Whether your home is decorated in modern eclectic or French colonial, you can almost certainly make creative use of plant and garden themes.In this delightful book, author Jerri Farris and designer Tim Himsel show you how to understand, practice, and live in garden style. You'll see examples of how ordinary homeowners have brought these ideas to life. And you'll also learn how to create more than two dozen of Jerri's and Tim's favorite garden style projects - from a painted wall mural to an ingenious copper bed frame that incorporates floral motifs.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
